Does anyone have the magic bullet? We have a UniVerse account that was backed
up using uvbackup on an AIX platform. We restored the account on to a Windows
platform and the sky fell in.
Firstly there was the 13 (14?) character naming boundary. File names & record
names that were longer than this boundary were broken in the Unix system into
"acceptable" chunks. I think this protocol dates back decades
(centuries?<chuckle>). Well so far with much fiddling and leg work we have
gotten passed that.
Now the indices on files are failing to maintain their integrity. This is what
happens:
1. Look for a record using a keyed search and it was not found
2. Rebuild the indices using BUILD.INDEX
3. Repeat #1 and the record was found
4. Add or edit a record affecting a keyed field and the indices return to #1.
What's the answer? Do we need to change the way we physically port the account?
Is there a tool that will resolve the problem? Should we create a new empty
account and copy all the records into it, then build the indices?
All thoughts and guidance appreciated.
Our UniVerse is:
