GOAL:
How to determine if a Progress database has changed since the last online backup.
GOAL:
What information does the _dbstatus-lasttrans field within the _dbstatus VST provide?
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
On possible way to determine if a Progress database has changed since the last online backup is to query the _dbstatus-lasttrans field in the _dbstatus VST (Virtual System Table) before and after the online backup operation. Any changes in transaction number will indicate that the database has changed. The 4GL code to perform this operation follows:
FOR EACH _dbstatus.
DISPLAY _dbstatus-lasttrans.
