How funny this is happening to you, it's happening to me as we speak. Someone was connected to the database when apparently a network connection issue happened. Now no one can connect, getting a "database is unavailable" command. Network shows no one as having the database open.
I can copy it to my c: drive, database is healthy, reloaded. I copy it back up to the network and only the first person who connects to it can see it. All others are then locked out. To make sure it's done right, I copy it up, get to the R> prompt, set multi on, connect to it, check my staticdb setting, no issue. No one else can connect. Copy it back up, have someone else connect, same issue. It's as if there's an internal "set multi off" command. This happened at that client once before, last year. We had to reboot the server and restore a backup copy from before it happened. Then it worked fine, but we had to do both. We're about to do this again but have to wait til overnight. So check the staticdb settings for everyone trying to connect, see if only the first person can connect and locks out others. Or the big one -- backup and reboot.

Our shop people started having problems, then RBASE got disconnected from the server. Since that time, no one has been able to connect to the database. I checked all aspects of the DB with RSCOPE and no errors showed up. I copied the DB to my C drive and was able to connect just fine. I did a rebuild on the C drive and no errors came up. Two questions: 1) Is it possible the server just will not connect RBASE properly for some reason? (all other server based programs are working.) 2) If I remember correctly, I will not be able to overwrite the G based DB with my rebuilt C based DB if the DB "sees" a connection. How then to correct that problem if my DB thinks it is in a multi off mode? James Belisle Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990 [cid:[email protected]]
