[U2] RedBack Garbage Collection

Hi Does anyone know why garbage collection could stop working on RedBack (4.2.3), or how I can bring it back to life? I have a client with state file that is badly undersized, with 160,000 sessions (and rising) in the LOADBAL.COUNTER. It is not (yet) configured to use the WWSESSION file. It

Thanks Karen! Is there really no other way? Seems odd that you can't use functions in the select statement. Greg At 12:42 PM 5/30/2007, Karen Bessel wrote: Create a new dictionary item with conversion code 'MCU' pointing at the same attribute#. Use that dictionary item in your select.

Hi Greg, Create a dictionary item named, for example, U.HRP.LAST.NAME, and defined as 001: I 002: UPCASE(HRP.LAST.NAME) Fields 3 onwards as for HRP.LAST.NAME Then do SELECT HRPER WITH U.HRP.LAST.NAME LIKE 'SC...' Alternatively, do SELECT HRPER WITH EVAL UPCASE(HRP.LAST.NAME) LIKE 'SC...'
