I don't really have a convenient "somewhere" to put the file, so I'm just posting the contents.

- NOTE: truncates all audit data; use carefully!

?
11.3
- bibackup active|all added to probkup; "active" is the default
- skips unused backup clusters
- NOTE: bibackup active, the default, should not be used prior to 11.5 due to a bug in prorest (PSC00317988); have to use "bibackup all" in 11.3.x and 11.4.x
- rfutil -ailist allows roll forward of many AI extents with one command; easier and more efficient than rolling forward individual extents
- also provides per-file completion status information
- avoids doing a redo phase for each file
- proutil dbrestrict qualifier: allow you to restrict access to a DB (e.g. a warm spare) so only certain clients or utilities can access it

- broker startup parameter (for life of broker): proserve –db <dbname> -S <port-number> -SQLTruncateTooLarge <on/off>
- connection URL option (for life of session) : jdbc:datadirect:openedge://<ip>:<port>;databaseName=<dbname>;truncateTooLarge=<on/off>;
- number of truncation events is logged to the DB log at the end of the SQL client session
- server-wide and connection-specific logging is available; note that enabling logging may degrade performance
