Release Notes for HP 9000/800 series v6.2D.03
901207-mlb01Release Notes for Hewlett Packard 9000/800 series: PROGRESS V6.2D.03
ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR THIS RELEASE
PLATFORM: Hewlett Packard 9000/800 Series
MEDIA TYPE: Cartridge Tape
SOFTWARE RELEASE: 6.2D.03
EXTRACT COMMAND: cpio -iudcvBm </dev/rct/c1d0s2
INSTALL COMMAND: ./proinstall
MACHINE NOTES:
o This version of Progress is not supported on multi-cpu machines.
OPERATING SYSTEM NOTES:
During the initial cpio command, the following error message
may appear during the extraction of files from your tape:
Cannot link this file: XXXXXXXX/XXXXXX.XXX
This is a benign error message, generated by the operating system
and by no means indicates problems with the installation. Please
ignore this warning message.
TERMINAL NOTES:
o Hewlett Packard terminal entries (for example HP2393a) do not
support line graphics, therefore frame borders will appear as
dashed lines.
SOFTWARE NOTES:
o This release was ported with ORACLE Version 6.
o This release supports Embedded SQL (HLI) for C.
o Online Backups:
--------------
The use of the -o (overlap factor) is not supported in this
release; you must restore the incremental backups exactly the
same way as you did when you backed them up or you will have
problems. For example,
proshut demo -C online /dev/rst8
proshut demo -C online /dev/rst8 incremental -o 2
After restoring the full backup, if you skip any of the
incrementals, you receive an error message indicating that
the tapes are out of sequence and the restore fails.
Workaround: Make sure all backups are restored in exact order.
o Toolkit
-------
In order to use the mkdump and procomp utilities, you must set
the environment variable DLCTK and modify the procomp script
to execute $DLCTK/_procomp. For example:
DLCTK=/usr/dlctk;export DLCTK
and the line that executes _procomp should read:
exec $DLCTK/_procomp -1 "$@"
o Fast Track
----------
If you use the convft utility to convert your database to a
Fast Track database, you must set the PROEXE environment
variable first:
PROEXE=/usr/dlc/_progres;export PROEXE
convft database-name
o X-windows
---------
If you are using x-windows, the Unix escape does not work.
The unix ilent command will send your output to the parent
window.
o Index Deactivation
------------------
If you are deactivating indexes, you should do it through
the Index Editor. Deactivating indexes through the Admin
menu in the Dictionary will deactivate the top index.
For example:
In the customer file there are three indexes, Cust-num,
State, and Zip. If you choose to deactivate zip, it
deactivates cust-num.
o ORACLE ldemo
------------
The ldemo script that resides in the subdirectory ora in
the directory where you install PROGRESS (e.g.,
/usr/dlc/ora/ldemo) with the Query/Runtime or Runtime
product since it makes modifications which these products
do not support.
o Procedure Library - icompile.p
----------------- ----------
If you extract icompile.p from the Procedure Library and use it
to compile procedures you will receive the following error
message:
** Attempt to write to closed stream cproc. (1387)
Your procedures will compile but you will get the error
message for every procedure compiled.
Workaround:
1. Enter the icompile.p file and look for the following
code block:
DO WHILE TRUE.
statements ...
END.
2. Place an IF ... THEN statement block around the DO
block:
IF compproc <> "" THEN DO:
DO WHILE TRUE.
statements ...
END.
END.
3. Save the changed icompile.p and use it to compile
your procedures.
