In Response To: Re: ARCHIVE ERROR: init_archive()/alloc_sb_preimag (Martin Fuerderer)

Thanks Martin & Art for your prompt response. We have organised an outage this weekend to bounce the server BUT now I am almost certain recycling of engine will not resolve the issue as both of you have adviced to contact IBM tech support.

I am also assuming engine will not allow drop/recreate this Smart Blobspace (33) which we don't use otherwise you would have suggested this earlier. Is this correct?

Once again, thank you very much for your help.

HG

Hi,

as already adviced by Art: Please contact IBM Informix
Technical Support.

My guess is, that for some dbspace a flag that gets
set during the archive operation has not been
reset due to the abort of the archive operation.

Tech Support should be able to find out, whether my
thought is correct. If it is, then
a) this is a defect that should be fixed ... i.e. to reset
the flag(s) properly in case of such an archive abort.
b) Tech Support may well be able to logon to your
machine and correct the flag setting by patching
it on disk. This would then require only a rather
short downtime of the system. Whether it would be
possible to patch something like this while the system
keeps running - I don't know. But they will tell you. :)

For both items it is necessary that you contact
Tech Support. So it really is the best advice that
I can give.

Regards, Martin
