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 environment
variable first:
PROEXE=/usr/dlc/_progres;export PROEXE
convft database-name
o Fast Track (500 file limit)
---------------------------
Unlike earlier versions, Fast Track Version 6.2G.07 enables you
to choose from more than 500 files when creating QBF's,
reports or forms. Now there is no limit to the number of
files you can select. However, because of internal changes to
the Fast Track code, you must recompile any QBF's or menus
generated with earlier versions of Fast Track to run them
under Version 6.2G.07.
o ORACLE ldemo
------------
The ldemo script that resides in subdirectory ora in
the directory where you install PROGRESS
(e.g., /usr/dlc/ora/ldemo) will not work with the
Query/Runtime or Runtime product. It makes schema
modifications which these products do not support.
o REMOTE RMS GATEWAY
------------------
If you press the CTRL-BREAK key while running a program with an
active transaction, you are disconnected from the Broker,
but your transactions are NOT backed out! The Broker process
also terminates.
o REMOTE RDB GATEWAY
------------------
If you try to create a local schema holder while connected
remotely to a VMS database, you get the following error:
SYSTEM ERROR: A fatal Rdb gateway error has occured.
Nothing is reported in the log file, but the client session
is terminated.
o REMOTE GATEWAYS
---------------
In PROGRESS Version 6.2G.07, you can remotely access an RDB,
Oracle, or RMS database. To do this, you must install a
Version 6.2G.07 (or later) core PROGRESS product
(for example, PADS, 4GL&RDBMS, Query Report, or Runtime)
on the machine where you are running your PROGRESS application
and on the machine hosting your non-PROGRESS database.
o In PROGRESS Version 6.2G.07, if you are running a Remote Oracle
gateway, and you press CTRL-C within a transaction,
you are disconnected from the Remote Oracle server with the
following message on your client:
** Disconnected by the server, code 7 (706).
Also, the Remote Oracle server's log will have the
following error messages:
SERVER: SYSTEM ERROR: oratmstrt: transaction already started (1473)
SERVER: ** Please save file name core for analysis by PSC. (439)
SERVER: logout usernum 0, userid, on (739).
o PROBUILD
--------
To access a non-PROGRESS database locally,
you need to purchase the PROGRESS 4GL&RDBMS software and
the Database Gateway software. If you do not have this
combination of products, you cannot load the standard
gateway in your executable. See Chapter 1 in the PROGRESS
3GL Interface Guide for more information.
o Multi-Volume Databases - prostrct add
-------------------------------------
If you define a variable length extent and then use the
"prostrct add" command to add another variable
length extent, the command does not work correctly.
It should convert the previous variable-length to a
fixed-length extent, but it does not.
To workaround this problem, do not use the "prostrct add" command.
Instead, create a new structure file (.st). Define all of the
extents you want, including any new extents. Create a new void
multi-volume database and use the "procopy" command
(or the "probkup" and "prorest" commands)
to copy the old database to the new one.
o TLI and Multiple Databases
--------------------------
If you are using TLI to connect to two or more databases over
a network, you may receive the error:
"Disconnect from server because database name was incorrect (437).
Server rejected login (700)."
The workaround is to use TCP/IP instead.
o Use of the RAW datatype
-----------------------
Manipulation of RAW datatype variables can result in values
being assigned incorrectly. Only types 7 and greater are
affected. This can occur if the length of a variable is changed.
o HLC
---
An error appears when returning from the module subfrd, and
gives the following results:
2.122e-314prordbl fatal ret = 842083890 unknown 858613042
instead of:
tf_print should be no, value is 0.
