Hello Doug, If you run the tool once, it may orphan one or more overflow buffers. Running it until it has no errors should reclaim the unlinked buffers, thus recovering the records from orphaned buffer(s).
The number of times you run fixtool depends on how many errors it finds as it traverses the file. Typically, it can only fix one blink [LeRoy Dreyfuss] (or other type of error, outside of some header errors) at a time as the file should be rescanned for additional errors once a fix is applied.

I read somewhere that all it does is fix the broken link ("fixing" the file but losing the data that the broken link pointed to). The reason I ask is that we had data corruption a few days ago and are now running into lots of uniobject errors. When we upgrade to the latest version of uniobjects things improved a lot (which is a question in of itself as to why) but I am wondering if we are now experiencing "logical errors" in that our code is chunking because it cannot find certain customer info that lives in another files (this is one example of what we are seeing) if running fixtool -fix is not the best way to fix a universe file can someone shed any light on a better way? thanks again! dougc ps if it matters we are running universe 10.1 on aix 5.2 ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ This email message and any files transmitted with it are intended only for the addressee(s) and contain information which may be privileged, confidential and/or subject to copyright.
