---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.08.30 - patch PE83-2204051 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the dblogreset utility as released with Eloquence B.08.30-1810. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.08.30 release. Eloquence B.08.30-1810 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE83-2204051: BUG FIX Superseded patches: none Patch PE83-2204051 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed two potential problems related to creating or resuming on the forward-log "bridge" segment during startup recovery or using the dblogreset utility (#4341). After an abnormal termination, the database server (or the dblogreset utility) performs a startup recovery. During this process, a special forward-log "bridge" segment is created that allows a dbrecover, dbrepl or fwutil process to continue across the previous abnormal termination. If more than one forward-log segment is created during a checkpoint interval, and if the eloqdb then terminates abnormally, a following startup recovery (or the dblogreset utility) could choose a wrong forward-log segment number for the "bridge" segment. As a consequence, the recovery could fail with a log message like: failed to restart forward-log file '...': Fwr_SERIAL record expected If multiple forward-log "bridge" segment files are created during the startup recovery (or by the dblogreset utility) and the recovery is interrupted and then repeated it would be unable to handle already existing "bridge" segment files. In this case, forward-logging could be disabled unexpectedly with a log message like: unable to create forward-log '...': File exists (errno 17) Note: forward-logging has been disabled due to failure Notes / Related patches: * Patch PE83-2204050 or superseding (eloqdb database server) fixes a related problem and should be installed with this patch.
