10.2A, win32.
I seem to be missing something. On my development machine,
find first _dbstatus no-lock
works just fine.
On my test server, the command does not work. I get a "** FIND FIRST/LAST failed FOR _dbstatus" (565)
Oh. perhaps I haven't enabled vst. So I try, and get
C:\mydb\db\charlie>proutil charlie -C enablevst OpenEdge Release 10.2A as of Mon Nov 3 22:05:01 EST 2008 Could not recognise: -C enablevst. (348) wrong utility option: 0
It seems as from 10 onwards, vst's are enabled by default.
so how is it that I am missing _dbstatus ?
Help
Try updating the VSTs..
proutil db-name -C updateVST
The issue is that the _dbstatus _file is there. ("find first _dbstatus no-lock" *compiles* ok). However, there is no _dbstatus record.
The difference between schema and file contents ...
I *know* that . What I want to know is WHY there isn't a record, and how do I create it ?
It is a "known bug".
At least it is known to me I have reported it but I do not have a bug# handy. And I have not heard that any sort of solution is underway.
From time to time _dbStatus disappears. It is also missing in some of the installed empty/demo databases under some circumstances.
I do not know why it happens nor when it started.
Shutting down and updating VSTs may bring it back to life.
