Spring Cleaning

Spring is here!

Spring is upon us.  Flowers are blooming.  Tax day is gone.  It’s that time of year when we get out our brooms and mops and cleanup the dust that has accumulated throughout the winter.

Progress After Imaging

“After Imaging” is the transaction logging mechanism built into the Progress database.  It enables ongoing ‘backup’ of database transactions as they occur – providing the ability to move these off to a 2nd machine where they can be applied to a copy of the original database – thus providing a ‘live spare’ of the production database to be used in the event of hardware disaster on the production server.  It can also be used to create a ‘read-only’ database for reporting purposes.

This presentation was given at the West Michigan Progress Users Group in October 2008.
