Missing _dbstatus

Posted by jmls on 12-Aug-2009 10:33

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.
