---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.08.00 - patch PE80-0911091 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the dblogreset utility for Eloquence B.08.00. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.08.00 release. Eloquence B.08.00 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE80-0911091: BUG FIX Superseded patches: none Patch PE80-0911091 ------------------ Platforms: All * A forward-log bridge segment was not correctly restarted (#3883). When the dblogreset utility is used after an abnormal termination of the database server, it performs a startup recovery. During this process, a so called forward-log bridge segment is created that allows a dbrecover or dbrepl or fwutil process to continue across the previous abnormal termination. If for any reason the startup recovery is aborted so that the bridge segment is not completely created, the bridge segment should be restarted and completed on the next startup recovery. Due to an internal initialization problem, this did not work as intended. As a consequence, the dblogreset utility failed to start with a message like below if the bridge segment already exists: unable to create forward-log ... File exists (errno 17) Note: failed to restart forward-logging To solve this problem, the existing bridge segment must be manually deleted before starting the dblogreset utility.
