Hi Thomas,

>>>Out of curiosity, how did you reinstate the user records?

On the original RT 3.8.5 server I had a couple of mysql dumps available with 
the previously deleted records still intact.  On the original server I copied 
one of the mysql backups to the RTDEV server, imported it into an empty MySQL 
rt database and then ran the upgrade to 4.0.12 followed by the migration to the 
Oracle schema.  I then extracted the specific deleted records from the RTDEV 
Oracle schema and inserted them into the RTPROD User table followed by 
re-generating the User table sequence.  If I was more savvy I probably could 
have just reconstructed the insert queries manually but the above method worked 
out well enough, just took a bit more time.

>>> The error was  still occurring after you'd reinstated them, but before you 
>>> reinstalled,  right?

This is correct.  I re-instated the deleted user records into RTPROD and the 
Global RT At A Glance error was still occurring.  It was only when I rebooted 
the RTPROD server and re-ran the base directory installation that the error 
cleared.  What I didn't do which I should have done was re-test after the 
RTPROD reboot and before running the new base directory installation.

>>> Can you run `diff -ruN` against the two install trees (the one you backed 
>>> up and the one currently in use)?

Zip file is 190KB in size.  I will be sending it separate from this reply.  I 
cut out the session_data diff output to trim down the original log file (4MB).  
If you prefer that this additional diff info be included I can simply send you 
the zipped 4MB log file.
