The PUG UK & Ireland Summer Conference took place on Thursday 15th June 2023 at the Radisson Blu hotel at Manchester Airport. 70 attendees, 11 speakers, 13 sessions, 1 CI/CD Workshop plus lots of networking.
Logging is arguably a programmer’s best friend, used for everything from debugging programs to finding out whodunnit. While powerful, excessive logging can cause systems to fill up disks, and potentially even slow down applications. System administrators are not fans of these consequences, nor do they appreciate making multiple deployments to turn logging on or off in various modules of the application.
Watch again Peter Judge, Consultingwerk, discussing approaches to logging in OpenEdge that can help make admins and programmers happy, primarily using the ABL Logging Library that was added in OpenEdge 11.7.0.
Trying to find performance bottlenecks in complex business applications is hard work no matter which method you choose.
In this webinar Peter Judge showcased a toolkit built to gather statistical information about the type of requests issued to an PASOE application server and which load these are producing.
In this webinar, Mike Fechner from Consultingwerk, explored the Mysteries of ProDataset and Temp-Table parameters.
Temp-Tables and ProDatasets are a key construct of many ABL applications – with or without the Progress AppServer. As a fundamental data structure, they allow to separate the gathering of information and it’s processing.
At first sight Temp-Table and ProDatasets can be passed very easily as parameters. However, there are some culprits causing common mistakes in the use.
