Progress 11.3
I have been using dbman -name <db> -stop and -start for taking down and bringing up the databases, and it works swell. Today I was looking at the help for dbman, and I could not find the -name parameter. Is it an undocumented attribute? I found that -database and -agent, is it so that my script should read:
dbman -database ac -stop instead? or is it ok to use -name?
I find -name much better, since Progress is using that for most of the other commands.
It does not failed, it was just me not finding it in the document.... strange... I will ask support.
Although not documented it is indeed possible to indicate the database name using the -name parameter or no parameter at all. For instance:
call dbman -name sports2k -start
call dbman sports2k -start
I've amended the following article with that piece of info:
