SOFTWARE NOTES:
o Fast Track (convft)
---------------------
If you use the convft utility to convert your database to a
Fast Track database, you must set the PROEXE enviornment
variable first:
PROEXE=/usr/dlc/_progres;export PROEXE
convft database-name
o REMOTE ORACLE GATEWAY
---------------------
While using the remote ORACLE gateway, if you press
CTRL-C during a transaction, you are disconnected from
the remote server.
o REMOTE RDB GATEWAY
------------------
If you try to create a schema holder database from a remote machine,
you will receive errors, such as:
** FIND FIRST/LAST Failed for file _Field (565)
and after loading the data, if you try to access the data, you will
see errors such as:
SYSTEM ERROR: fmx -- bad data type (52)
Also, when loading in records, data in fields may be truncated.
For example, if you load in the value 180 into the cust-num
field, it may be truncated to 18.
The workaround is to create and maintain your schema holder
database on the VMS machine.
o PROBUILD
--------
When running PROBUILD, the $PROLOAD/eucapp/euc.pl file must
have at least read and write permissions (rw-rw-rw-),
otherwise you will get the error:
** Cannot find or open euc.pl errno 13
To avoid tihs error, change the permissions on the euc.pl
file as follows:
chmod 666 $PROLOAD/eucapp/euc.pl
where $PROLOAD is an environment variable set to where
you have the dlcload directory installed - /usr/dlcload
by default.
o You can now use PROBUILD to build an executable with a
remote gateway configurable element. For example,
if you need to access a remote Oracle database, just
select your networking protocols and REMOTE ORACLE
GATEWAY at the CONFIGURABLE ELEMENTS screen.
o PROREST Utility
---------------
Restoring an incremental backup out of sequence will cause
you to lose data. For example, if you restore incremental
2, then restore incremental 1, you will lose the data
restored from incremental 2. You receive a message telling
you that the tapes are out of sequence, but you are not
warned about the data loss.
o Remote C-ISAM Gateway
A) When you try to update a record from a remote client to a server
using C-ISAM and you have not explictly stated EXCLUSIVE-LOCK to
access the record, you will get the error:
Fatal Internal C-ISAM Gateway Error (2172)
and you are disconnected from the server.
To workaround this, explicitly state EXCLUSIVE-LOCK when accessing
the record, as in:
FIND FIRST customer EXCLUSIVE-LOCK:
UPDATE customer.
B) If you press Ctrl-C during an active transaction, any records
that you created, updated, or deleted during that transaction
will not be backed out.
