Re: URGENT - System Crash

In reply to Nigel Gall's email about URGENT - System Crash, on 6 Aug 97 Hi Nigel, } } Hi y'all! } } I've just experienced my first crash due to long-transaction problem } filling up all of my logical logs. } } I've been advised that the only way to recover from this is to restore from } previous level-0 archive. Is this true? } The other way is to let Informix dial into your site with their "Nix the Long transaction" tool. This tool lets Informix internally reset the long transaction flag to false and life goes on. This way however, you do not need to do the restore. } Thanks for any advice... this will be a long night: I need to have this } system up by tomorrow morning (it's now 01:06 GMT need to be up by 11:30 GMT). } } System specs: OnLine 5.05.UD1 } DEC AlphaServer 2100 } Digital Unix 3.0b. } } Will be reading TFM while awaiting any responses.. :) } } Best regards, } Nigel } +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ } |Name : Edmund Nigel Gall Atlantic Avenue | } |Title : Information Systems Specialist Pt.
