Solution ID: P2971
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.3D
Siemens RM
SYMPTOM(s):
File size limit exceeded. (3697)
<time><Multi/Single> session end. (334)
proutil -C binary dump session end. (334)
Running a binary dump.
CAUSE:
When proutil -C dump tries to create a .bd file that exceeds the current operating system file limit, most UNIX flavors return a soft error that proutil can handle by switching to a new .bd extent.
On the other hand, Reliant UNIX generates an OS signal that causes proutil -C dump to terminate with error 3697.
FIX:
Use the -tgb parameter:
proutil <dbname> -tgb -C dump <tablename> directory [-index num]
The -tgb parameter forces a .bd extent switch when the current extent reaches just about 2,000,000,000 bytes, which is slightly less than 2GB.
