Severity:
 PE70-0401161: BUX FIX
 PE70-0401131: BUX FIX
 PE70-0307163: BUX FIX


Patch PE70-0401161
------------------

Platforms: All

* dblogreset after a previous abort of the eloqdb6 server process
  could fail to release some disk space (#2048).

  In case the eloqdb6 process has aborted, dblogreset performs a
  recovery operation before resetting the transaction log volume.
  Disk space that was freed during the recovery operation could
  in some cases not be marked as avaialable by dblogreset. The
  dblogreset utility has been fixed accordingly.

* The recovery operations in dblogreset have been aligned with
  the changes in eloqdb6 patch PE70-0401160.

This patch (or newer) should be installed when using the corresponding 
eloqdb6 patch PE70-0401160.


Patch PE70-0401131
------------------

Platforms: All

* dblogreset was fixed to handle a situation where the database server
  has aborted during a dbrestore operation. dblogreset now checks for
  a corner case that could result in a circular page link in the server
  node directory (#2186).

  In case a circular page link in the server node directory is recognized
  an informational message like below is output:
  N1: Node_CommitNodePage(page=0xe396): page is already present - ignored


Patch PE70-0307163
------------------

Platforms: All

* dblogreset was fixed to handle a situation where the database server
  has crashed. In this case dblogreset performs a recovery of recently
  committed transactions.
  A rare corner case could lead to (unused) data blocks linked to a table
  but not marked in use. This could lead to subsequent data corruption.
