Anything wrong with having a process that does an INPUT mid way through a transaction,
and then KILLing it ? Or just turning the power off to the machine ? Then again, you
could kill UV and then fire up a hex editor on the files - or maybe delete a file or 2.
I'd like to think that you couldn't go repeatedly corrupt the environment from a
program (hmmm, wonder what impact a 64K key would have ?)
Rather than actually killing the live machine, for DR I would have thought that
bringing up the DR server with appropriate logs etc would have been good enough

Subject: [U2] How to corrupt UniVerse file(s) for Transaction Logging and
DR te sting.
Hi Everyone,
I have a need to be able to corrupt a UniVerse file and to be able to
repeat
the process. This is required for the testing and demonstration of
Transaction Logging to management.
The next step will include the testing of various methods of replicating
UniVerse databases and DR logs to a remote DR server, crashing UniVerse and
breaking database(s) and being able to fail over to the DR site and recover
the UniVerse databases on the DR site. The testing servers and UniVerse
are
fully available to me to do anything to them (within reason).
Can anyone please suggest how best to set up file(s) that I can break as
required? Anything special that needs to be done with keys, key length,
record size, file type, etc?
Thanks for your help.
Thank you Clif for all your great work over the years and to the new
moderators for continuing with this list.
Regards,
Simon Bole-Brown
