Where did ProControl Go? The Progress Explorer Tool Replaces ProControl

Open the Progress Explorer Tool Click Action -> Connect Use your Username and Login for the Server Once connected expand ‘Databases’ in the Tree View Select ‘Win202’ And click the green Arrow to Start or the Red X to Stop Starting / Stopping Win-202 using Progress Explorer

Configuring Database using Explorer Many of the database startup parameters can be set in the Progress Explorer Tool Once in the Database Tree View, select defaultConfiguration and/or defaultServerGroup and click the properties icon to adjust these settings. Please contact Maine Win202 Staff before adjusting any of these settings.

Scheduled Tasks The “win202service” account We have created a local or network user account in all of the states. This user is who the database is and various admin jobs are run as on the server. Batchmanager No longer in ProControl, start and stop using the Scheduled task folder. Right click the Batchmanager Task and Click ‘Run’ to start the Batchmanager, and ‘End Task’ To stop the batchmanager. Always ensure that the batchmanager is disconnected using Promon before launching it again. Having 2 running instances of the batchmanager can cause database resource contention and cause jobs to crash. Call Maine if you have questions or need assistance. Backups Only 1 backup per day now. AI Archive Cleanup Make sure this job runs or your disk drive will clog up with old ai archive files.

Promon – some things never change! To create a promon icon: Right click the desktop and select New Shortcut In the target type “C:\progress\openedge\bin\promon.bat [path to the db]\win202” without the quotes Use Promon to monitor WIN202 database activity, locks and connected users.

What to watch for? Extent growth Using type 2 storage area’s the database now has several files named with this pattern: Win202_NN.dx. Make sure the last dx of each NN is not rapidly approaching 2 GB or your db will crash when it does. Disk Usage Monitor all disks on the server at least weekly. Ensure you have sufficient free space to load new data, and produce reports. Backups Ensure your backup runs daily. Win has a feature to warn you when it does not. Performance Tuning as an ongoing process. Maine will be monitoring the performance of each database and help make improvements where possible.
