SYMPTOM(s):
Variable bi fails to extend
Variable before image file fails to extend
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
OpenEdge Category: Database
CAUSE:
The variable bi file is a fixed variable extent and so has a size limit.
A fixed variable extent will not preallocate the space as a fixed extent does.
However, the "v" in the .st file is where you set the limit. If it was a true variable
extent, with no limit to size, there would be no "v" in the .st file.
FIX:
1.Truncate the bi file
2.Run prostrct remove db-name bi (this will only work if you have more than one bi extent)
3. Create an .st file named addbi.st
4. Enter this line in the addbi.st file:
b <path where you want the bi extent>
5. Save the addbi.st file
6. Run prostrct add db-name addbi.st
You will now have a true variable extent at the end of the bi files, which has no limit other
than what the file system will allow.
