Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
Windows 2000
SYMPTOM(s):
Microsoft Management Console 1.2 (MMC)
Progress servers are not saved on exit of the Progress Explorer.
Failed RMI setup.. (8539)
CAUSE:
The information within the servers is retained but the server itself is not. It is inconvenient to have to add the Progress servers each time you restart the Progress Explorer.
The reason for the problem is that Windows 2000 uses Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Version 1.2 and the snap-in shipped with Progress Version 9.1A (proexp.msc) is in MMC 1.1 format, which by default is not fully compatible with Windows 2000.
FIX:
This problem can be resolved by opening the Progress Explorer and proexp.msc in Author Mode (/a). This is done by adding the /a startup option to the target in the properties of Progress Explorer using the following:
D:\91a\bin\jvmStartw.exe -c @{JAVA\PROGRESSCP};@{JAVA\JRECP} mmc.exe /s /a "d:\91a\proexp.msc"
When running the Progress Explorer, after adding a Progress server, you will be prompted for confirmation to save the console settings to proexp.msc when you exit Progress Explorer.
Clicking "yes" produces a dialog box that explains the proexp.msc was saved with an earlier version of MMC, and you are asked if you would like to update this file to MMC 1.2. Select "yes", then you can remove the /a startup option from the Progress Explorer command line.
Now, when adding Progress Servers, the details will be kept and there will be no need to add these each time you restart Progress Explorer.
