I assisted one of my customers with the very same issue a while back. Luckily, UniVerse creates a temporary copy of the file when resizing it. Using the explorer go look at the folders for that file and you should see one with an 'odd name', probably called something like resizea00398. When we discovered this file we counted it and it had the correct number of records we were looking for.
To fix we did: * rebooted UniVerse so it would release a lock on the file * using nt explorer we renamed the problem file to something_xxx * using nt explorer we renamed that resizea00398 file to the real filename * go to TCL and edit a record in that file - should be OK.

If you kill a telnet session that is running a resize on NT then you need to kill the resize.exe process that it spawned as well. Otherwise it just keeps on going as you found it. There are quite a few processes on the NT version that work like that. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Joe Walter Sent: Mon 06/12/2004 18:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] UV/NT resize failed - any way to put this file back together? unbelievable - i just felt i had to post a follow up to this. the resize process that we thought was dead and we closed the telnet client that initiated the session and all - gave up on it - thought it was a dead process. we would have expected it to run in less than 1/2 hour. well, anyway, low and behold when I got back onto that customers system today to start restoring files - it turns out that the resize actually finished up and the date/time stamp makes it appear as if the resize ran for about 30+ hours - but the point is it did actually finish - even after we killed the telnet client that started the session - unbelievable. the mystery still is - why did it take so long. yes, the new file sizing parameters where dead on and the old file size wasn't all that far off either. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Walter > Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 11:25 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [U2] UV/NT resize failed - any way to put this file > back together? > > was trying to resize a file on universe/NT and the process > obviously got hosed up. it ran for upwards of three hours > before we gave up on it. > > it is one of those blasted files with multiple data sections. > > so, we have the files > AR > and > AR,HIST > > i was trying to resize AR,HIST. active users where accessing > only the AR file itself, so i thought i could get by with > resizing AR,HIST while others where online. it looks like it > started to work, but should have completed in a matter of > minutes based on past experience, so it did get hung up for > some reason. > > if i display the files in the directory - i see the following: > > 11/30/04 03:10p <DIR> . > 11/30/04 03:10p <DIR> .. > 11/30/04 03:05p 2,569,728 AR > 11/30/04 03:05p 5,343,232 HIST > 11/30/04 03:10p 4,093,440 resizea00355 > 5 File(s) 12,006,400 bytes > 619,339,264 bytes free > > > so, it looks like *maybe* the data for the HIST section and this temp > resizea00355 file might actually have the data, but when you > try to access the file AR,HIST from TCL your session just locks up. > > can still access just the live AR file - no problem there. > > anyone know how to piece this thing back together without > restoring from backups? > ------- > u2-users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ The information contained in this email is strictly confidential and for the use of the addressee only, unless otherwise indicated.
