    promon : Problems killing users

    Hi folks, We've recently upgraded servers and moved our databases and character clients to the new servers (HP-UX11, 32-bit).

    Hi BulkLodd, No I didn't, is about 1/2 hour (carried out on same box), but, taking into account differentce in database sizes it's still much quicker. Cheers, Dave.

    Hi folks, I am experienceing some performance issues with procopy. I'm basically upgrading a server and need to get a number of databases from one server to another - the OS is the same, same dbase block size, etc. and no I don't have the downtime to allow a dump and reload :( I've tried...

    Any Future in Progress???

    I've worked with Progress for about 12 years also. In that 12 years I've constantly worried about finding work (as have much of my colleagues who develop using Progress). Suffice to say, I've never been out of work (including successful stint as a contractor) - and I'm on a higher salary than...

    Frame Focus

    Hi folks, Thanks for these replies. I'll give them a whirl. Know what you mean about Smart Objects. We simply use them to allow creating a MDI (Multiple Document Interface) with Frames instancciated at run-time. Allows us to create the frames as seperate little modules and assign them (as...

    Create Database/Table/field with progress manual

    Yes, he/she wants to do structure of dbase and not dbase. As I said I've never done this before using schema tables (not sure if can), but, I'm sure one of us could come up with some code, but, as I said it's dangerous to do and I wouldn't advise unless a valid rweason for wanting to do so is...

    Help!!! New to Progress

    Ok. There is a problem with the database server and the Admin. Server (software used to connect Progress Explorer) It's going to be quite difficult for me to remote support this. What I'd suggest is getting one of your Progress admin. guys to get the server started up correctly and the TCP...

    Help!!! New to Progress

    First Problem. Is your PC XP ?? The PC will have an admin. account. You need to use this to login. Or is your user set up as an administrator of the PC ?? I'm assuming that the database is sat on the PC. If your database was sat on a UNIX server then the username and password would be the...

    Create Database/Table/field with progress manual

    Hi There, Temp tables only exist at the session level, so, to compare them to actual database tables isn't sensible. To create a structure in the database ideally you would use the Data Dictionary. Another method is to create a .df file (from another database) and load it into the database...
