published (entitled) tech tip: (note that the enhanced message display at 6.0 is yet one more reason to upgrade from a version of UniData released in 2002. )
Problem Some commands in ECL and / or BASIC will prevent dbpause from initializing. Could we get a list of these please? Solution If any UniData process in performing any of the following commands when dbpause is started, the command will need to complete before dbpause can complete and fully pause the database. ECL commands: CREATE.FILE DELETE.FILE CLEAR.FILE REBUILD.FILE RESIZE (but not memresize) ED DELETE MODIFY CREATE.INDEX BUILD.INDEX CREATE.TRIGGER UniBasic statements: WRITE DELETE OSBWRITE OSDELETE WRITESEQ WEOFSEQ TRANSACTION COMMIT (for RFS or Journaling) Also, starting with UniData 6.0, dbpause will provide additional information about the status of the UniData process blocking it's completion. Previously, just the process id of the UniData process was displayed.

Sent by: [email protected] Anyone seen this message (triggered by dbpause in a backup script on Unidata 5.2.30)? dbpause: udtno=61 (pid=60496) has one operation unfinished, please check it. This message repeats a bunch of times and then finally dbpause apparently gave up and proceeded on without pausing. This system does not have RFS/TP. Best we can tell, this was a normal telnet login that lost its tty (i.e. someone shut down the telnet client without logging off) but we couldn't get back to it via tandem, couldn't kill it via kill (with no options, -1, and -15) and eventually had to log it off with UniAdmin. Any idea what this means? -Kevin http://www.PrecisOnline.com ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of ecblank.gif] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of graycol.gif] ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
