RE: Problem with ER

Heinz There is a known bug at this version on IDS that occasionally a server either does not send a correct completed message, or the target of such a message cannot respond to it correctly. The snoopy and replay threads will fall further behind the current log position until ER stops the engine. Shutting down and restarting ER, on all servers, may resolve the problem but (and here I speak from experience !!) you may end up having to crash your IDS, restart with ER disabled, manually remove the syscdr and sysmaster databases and then recreate them. Provided no data changes are made while you are doing this you should not need to totally repopulate tables across the ER network. I suggest you contact tech support fairly quickly to confirm my suspicions and start you on the painful road :-) You may want to capture the following information also as help in identifying and resolving:- 'onstat -g cdr' three times at 1 minute intervals 'onstat -g stk all' three times at 1 minute intervals on all servers Good Luck Keith -> -----Original Message----- -> From: Heinz Weitkamp [mailto:heinz.weitkamp@westfleisch.de] -> Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 12:58 PM -> To: user-group Informix (E-Mail) -> Subject: Problem with ER ->=20 -> Hi all, ->=20 -> IDS 7.31.UD4; SCO 3.2 5.0.6 ->=20 -> 7 Server with update everywhere in ER. ->=20 -> On one Server (A) ER hangs.
