Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT
SYMPTOM(s):
ProControl
Event Viewer
NT Event Viewer log file size has been increased.
Registry Keys for Progress to control the logging to the NT Event Viewer have not been deleted
Registry error : Could not create the '' key for the Event Viewer. (5175)
Event Logger error : Could not post a '' event to the Event Viewer. (5180)
CAUSE:
The NT Event Viewer has reached its maximum size.
FIX:
Using ProControl to start and stop your databases on an NT system, Progress writes information to the database log and to the NT Event Viewer.
The NT Event Viewer has options to modify how big the log can grow and what it should do if it reaches the maximum size. If the log is not large enough to accept a reference sent by ProControl it may give the 5175 error.
(The default size for the Event Viewer log is 512K. If running a database with a large amount of activity or several databases this may not be sufficient).
Add an environment variable named EVTLEVEL to the NT server.
In the Control Panel - System Icon - Environment tab add a System Variable EVTLEVEL and set it to 'none'.
This will stop the messages that ProControl will output to the NT Event Viewer.
