Log Based Memory Leak Finder

This program reads log files for logentrytype dynobjects and produces an output of those log file entries where objects were created, but not deleted.


4GLTrace LOG-MANAGER Reporter

Reads output from a LOG-MANAGER:LOG-ENTRY-TYPE = "4GLTRACE:4" and reports the line number, date, time, statement elapsed time, total elapsed time, nesting level, action, action adjective, and remaining data in a columnar format


Database Statistics Tool

This tool helps the DBA to detect when the size limit for a storage area is approaching a physical (addressing) limit.


Performance Measurement & Testing

Many sites become concerned about the performance of their ABL application at some time in the history of the site. While a big performance boost can often be achieved by simply moving to newer (and probably cheaper) hardware, this is not always an option, either because a reasonably powerful machine is already in use or there isn't sufficient budget for a change. The following links have been collected to provide some help for those concerned with performance.


Log Reader

The logreader tool provides a means to read one or more Progress / OpenEdge related logs from one or more Progress / OpenEdge components (i.e.


OE 10.1a Failover Clusters Supplemental Dynamic-Link Libraries

Failover Clusters for release 10.1A requires the Windows DLL's contained in this ZIP file. These Microsoft DLL's provide .NET C++ runtime support required by the Failover Clusters product. For installation instructions refer to the README file contained in the ZIP file.


Database Statistics Tool

This tool helps the DBA to detect when the size limit for a storage area is approaching a physical (addressing) limit. The analysis done by the tool provides a conservative view of storage area usage, i.e. there is a built-in safety margin in the reporting. The margin comes from space internal to a storage area that is actually available for the case of deleted and reused record-ids.

The download includes instructions on how to run the tool and interpret its results as well as a white paper, Best Practices For Managing Records-Per-Block Settings, which describes how to set records per block to achieve optimal performance. For more information on size limits for storage areas, see Chapter 3, OpenEdge RDBMS Limits of the OpenEdge Data Management: Database Design handbook.

Crystal OpenClient

This code enables Crystal Reports to connect to a Progress AppServer, run 4GL code on that AppServer, and use the resulting TempTable as data for a report layout. It works with Progress 9 and 10 (OpenEdge), and with Crystal Reports 9 or 10. Minimum requirement is Crystal Reports Advanced, this offers a Java connection.
