Database Activity Monitor

Wed, 2014-06-04 09:48 — Richard Elvin

A ChUI Database Activity Monitor that asks you to select a database connection. Database activity for that connection is then displayed in a browses - there is a Table view and an Index view. Reads / Creates / Updates by Table or Index. The activity is read from _UserTableStat and _UserIndexStat VSTs. There is a one minute auto-refresh, or it can be refreshed manually by pressing the space bar. There is a hotkey to display the stack trace for the connection, but statement caching must be enabled for this to work. There is an option to reset all stats to Zero.

Date Picker in pure ABL

Wed, 2014-03-19 13:48 — mucip

Hi,
This Time picker is written pure in 4GL/ABL. No need to using any other ocx. I written this tool because I don't like to use MS products much... :)

This code is written in Turkish but I'm sure it's easily to convert other languages by coder...

Regards,
Mucip:)


HTTP Request Header "Authorization"

Thu, 2014-02-13 12:47 — NoblePursuits

I have a working web services client against a commercial concern's website, and have a problem with a recent security change. They used to use "SOAPEndpointUserid and SOAPEndpointPassword", and have changed to a new authorization token, using a new HTTP Request Header with the name "Authorization".

I'm not the most web services savvy developer, and I haven't been able to figure out the 4GL changes needed. I developed the app using the prowsdldoc tool's output, but the output doesn't seem to reference http headers.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?

Returning a generic ADO.Net dataset from ABL

Thu, 2014-01-16 21:02 — Wonsil

I'm trying to call a .Net object method that returns an untyped-generic System.Data.Dataset result but I cannot figure out the syntax. Once I do, I'm not sure how to access the records.
My code looks like this:

{bo\DynamicQuery\DynamicQuery_ds.i}
DEF var hProc as handle.
DEF INPUT-OUTPUT Parameter dataset-handle hDS.

Run bo\DynamicQuery\DynamicQuery.r PERSISTENT SET hProc No-Error.
IF VALID-HANDLE(hProc) THEN DO:
RUN ExecuteByID IN hProc (input "UFM-Cfg-Insite", {&dataset-handle hDS}).
END.
ELSE DO:
Message "InSite Configurator: Unable to create Dynamic Query BO".

How to execute mfg/pro progress code in unix by bash file

Wed, 2013-12-04 02:06 — wang6733284

Dear all,

I want to call progress code by bash scripts.
The db version is progress 9.1d.
The bash code like this:

#!/bin/sh

DLC=/mfgpro/dlc91d;export DLC
PATH=$PATH:$DLC;export PATH
PROMSGS=$DLC/promsgs;export PROMSGS
PROTERMCAP=$DLC/protermcap;export PROTERMCAP
PROPATH=$PROPATH:/mfg/hhh/,/mfg/hhh/ch/xx,/mfgpro/qadeb2sp4/,/mfgpro/qadeb2sp4/bbi,/mfgpro/qadeb2sp4/src/,/mfgpro/qadeb2sp4/xrc; export PROPATH

#$DLC/bin/mbpro -pf $1 -p $2 > /dev/null
$DLC/bin/mpro -pf $ -p $2

The parameter 1 is db pf file.
The parameter 2 is my progress code.


Progress Naming Conventions

Tue, 2013-08-13 22:00 — dwhite

Is there any community information out there in the Progress world on naming standards?


Progress Profiler

Fri, 2013-08-02 19:45 — tamhas

There is a capability built in to ABL to provide run-time execution detail on a program. It collects execution times on blocks of code so that one can evaluate performance. It returns:

  • Line numbers.
  • Number of repetitions.
  • Average time.
  • Cumulative time.

It can be used by:

  • -profile run time parameter. Profiles whole session, but does not require modifying code.

Determine whether Progress is 32- or 64-bit

Thu, 2013-07-25 14:36 — ptfreed

This is a bash script that determines whether the Progress version installed on a *nix system is 32-bit or 64-bit. It also determines whether the O/S is 32- or 64-bit, though this has not been widely tested. It can be conveniently called from other scripts by running with the -s switch and checking the return value (32 or 64, or 0 on error).

The script needs to be able to find the Progress installation in order to run. It will check $DLC, $PATH, and /usr/dlc.

Typical usage:

> 32or64.sh
Progress is 64 bits; OS is 64 bits

> ./32or64.sh -s
> echo $?
64
