Mike, If the tables that comprise the Group form are corrupt then you would like need to restore the SQL tables from backup or possibly re-import the .def file that includes the Group form. From what I gather the issue is with the contents of the Group form instead of tables.
According to the 6.3 docs, arsignal -g "Causes the server to reload group and data dictionary from the database" If the Group form is emptied and repopulated then arsignal should re-read the Group form entries.

I've never trashed my Groups form, but suspect that it would behave the same way (Administrator group no longer valid, therefore no members). arcache can be used to create an administrator group as well as to create an administrator login name if necessary in the cached copy of Group and/or User. As of ARS 6.x, it's documented in Configuring AR System in AR System server components and external utilities (External Utilities section). Stephen - if Groups was corrupted, wouldn't arsignal simply reproduce the corruption? In other words, what does the "-g" option for arsignal actually read? I've always thought it was similar to arreload for Groups.

Create an escalation that runs nightly which uses runmacro to export the data from User and Groups. Then if anything like this happens again you could empty the Groups form, import all the groups, followed by running the arsignal command. HTH.

The result was multiple duplicate groups within the Group form (ie. multiple administrator groups, customize group, etc...) Now the application is hanging when we try to do anything with the group form. Any ideas on how to fix this. I deleted the duplicate entries within the group form. Restarted the server. The application still hangs. __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
