Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress 9.1x
Progress 8.3x
SYMPTOM(s):
Uses scripts to control database startup
Using UNIX variables ($VALUE) in Progress .pf file
Use variables to eliminate hard coding of database path
Progress .pf file using UNIX variables fails
Unable to open parameter file $VARIABLE, errno =2 (1247)
CHANGE:
Create a Progress .pf file to run independently of scripts that control database
CAUSE:
Progress does not understand the concept of UNIX variables and how to expand them. Setting $VARIABLE in a .pf file will not work.
FIX:
To resolve the issue, use UNIX scripts to control database startup and shutdown, as well pass UNIX variables. The UNIX OS reads the scripts and expands the variables.
