Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
HP-UX 11.0 32-bit
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.3E
SYMPTOM(s):
Entries missing from .lic file
User-created awk script running against the .lic file while the database broker was running.
User-created awk script being used to truncate .lic file
CAUSE:
The user-created awk script was being run against the .lic file while the database server was running. This awk script was truncating .lic entries. This is not a supported functionality, as the documentation would suggest, e.g.
the license file must be closed before the administrator archives it, the administrator must first shut down the database.
In some way the script accessing the .lic file was interfering with the writes to the .lic that the Progress broker should have been doing. If PROGRESS encounters an error while trying to open or write to the license file, the error is recorded in the database .lg file and no more entries are written to the license (.lic) file.
There shouldn't be anything apart from the database broker carrying out any function on this file while the database is running.
FIX:
Ensure that the database is shut down before administrative functions, e.g. truncating or archiving, are carried out on the .lic file.
