SOFTWARE NOTES:
o Fast Track
----------
Valid for Progress Versions prior to Version 6.2f.
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 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: To correct the problem, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the icompile.p file and look for thethe following
block:
DO WHILE TRUE.
statements...
END.
2. Place an IF..THEN statement block around the DO WHILE TRUE
as follows:
IF compproc <> "" THEN DO:
DO WHILE TRUE.
statements...
END.
END.
3. Save the changed icompile.p and use it to compile your
procedures.
o Building an X-Windows executable
--------------------------------
When you build an X-Windows PROGRESS executable, the
PROBUILD utility includes the X-Windows libraries -lx11
and -lsocket in your link script. However, if you also
choose to add TCP/IP capability to the executable, the
PROBUILD utility includes another -lsocket library to
your link script. Before you can execute the link
script, you must edit it and remove the following line:
-lsocket
which appears above the line that reads -lx11.
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 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 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 to use, 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.
