Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
RedHat Linux 7.3
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
SYMPTOM(s):
A Progress version 8 database is restored from backup to a new RedHat 7.3 Linux machine.
The version 8 database is converted to version 9 using the 'conv89' utility.
No database log file (DBname.lg) is generated at database startup.
This process terminated with exit code <number>. (8619)
This process terminated with exit code 2. (8619)
CAUSE:
Progress bug# 20000719-007.
CAUSE:
The Linux hostname is longer than 28 characters. Progress uses a C function called 'gethostname' to determine a UNIX machine's hostname. If the hostname is longer than 28 characters Linux returns a null string to Progress, as opposed to a truncated name, as seen with other UNIX operating systems.
FIX:
To determine the length of your hostname, run the 'hostname' command at the UNIX shell prompt. To change the name of your Linux hostname, type 'hostname <newhostname>' (where <newhostname> is 27 characters or less). This operation will require ROOT permission.
