SYMPTOM(s):
bigrow fails with SYSTEM ERROR (10601) "Attempting to exceed maximum size on file"
SYSTEM ERROR: Attempted to exceed maximum size on file <pname>. (10601)
The BI file grows to 2MB and then stops growing.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Bi Cluster Size is 512MB
It was attempted to grow the BI file by 10000 clusters: proutil <dbname> -C bigrow 100000
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
Large file support is not enabled.
CAUSE:
The reason why the BI file grew to 2MB before it failed to grow further is because by default we always grow 4 BI clusters ( 4 x 512KB = 2MB). Please note that bigrow does grow the number of BI Clusters, not blocks, so if you execute a bigrow of 10000 you would try to add 10000 clusters to the BI file, each of which being 512MB in size. That means you would try to grow the BI file to 5120000MB, as a result this behaviour is expected as it is attempted to grow the BI file beyond 2GB.
FIX:
Stay within reasonable and achievable limits when attempting to grow the BI file using bigrow.
