Question/Problem Description
Shared memory connection to OpenEdge databases fails since upgrading to 11.7.4, receive the error message:
"Attempted to connect to another database's shared memory. (10834)"

Clarifying Information
The same 2 mpro commands executed under 11.7.3 do not give the error (10834) and allow a connection to the same database with sym links to the database structure.

The use of soft links stopped working after a fix implemented in 11.7.4 to prevent possible severe database corruption by additionally verifying the database name including paths as well as the shared memory id and semaphore id when self service clients connect to a database:
