OE Replication: Backup terminated due to errors

Posted by Dmitri Levin on 24-May-2018 16:23

I have the problem with the following two commands going one after an other

proutil  db_name -C enableSiteReplication source

probkup online db_name db_file

OpenEdge Release 11.7.1 as of Wed Jun 14 19:00:30 EDT 2017
Replication (source) is now enabled for database db_name  (10351)
SYSTEM ERROR: Error writing backup header (1056)
Backup terminated due to errors. (1617)
It looks like there need to be a pause between them. With a small pause (sleep 5) it works. May be PSC need to implement some check inside proutil  -C enableSiteReplication source to accommodate for this event.

Hi Dmitry,

Try to use the parameter  -REPLTargetCreation for PROBKUP:

probkup online db_name db_file -REPLTargetCreation

Will the error be the same?

Dmitri really run probkup with the following parameters: -com -Bp 64 -REPLTargetCreation

They were just skipped in the first post.

Yes, I am always using -REPLTargetCreation parameter when backing up replication enabled databases.
