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

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.

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

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.
