439.0. "Will the real collection please stand up?" by M5::BLITTIN () Fri Feb 07 1997 17:46

    
    Customer has a collection that he is trying to cancel, but when he
    cancels it, he gets a message saying that it doesn't exist, however
    when he tries to schedule the collection, it says he can't because
    there is already one that exists....
    
    History...
    
    Collection was started several days(300+) with a /duration=300, or so
    days, and somewhere inbetween then and now, they moved the disk that
    the collection was putting its output.
    
    Customer has defined a new collection that is working, but how can
    he get rid of this collection?  SQL? If so, what items should be
    cleaned up?
    
    Thank You

439.1A few things to checkOOTOOL::CRAIGWed Feb 12 1997 11:3054
	Hi,

	There are two things that come to mind that
	you might check to determine the cause of the problem:

1) EPC$ADMIN_DB AND EPC$HISTORY_DB logicals not pointing
	   to the right place.

	SHOW COLLECTION/ FORMAT = FULL

	If you don't see both, then the admin database on
	your node is not pointing to the correct place. 

	You will need to change the translation for 
	EPC$ROOT on your node.

	Another way to check for this problem is to check the
	logicals on both nodes to see if they have the same
	translation.

	SHOW LOGICAL EPC$ROOT

	If they don't, take down the Registrar and
	edit the file on the node.

2) Check the cluster where the old collection was running
	   before it was moved. 
	
    Attach to EPC$ADMIN_DB

    select * from EPC$test_active;

    You'll probably see the collection as active on some other node
    in your cluster.

    The EPC$REGISTRAR process on that node has probably crashed or been 
    brought down since the collection was activated.

    Re-start the registrar by @sys$startup:epc$startup.com on those
    nodes that show up in the epc$test_active table.

    The registrars at startup will perform the cleanup.  And delete the
    collection record from epc$test_main. (in your case if the 300 days
    aren't up you can cancel the old collection and remove it if necessary).

If none of these ideas help let me know. If the customer is running an
old version of Trace, they may be running into a bug, so let me know what
version they are running.

	Thanks,
	Sheri

This is the answer.
