4166.0. "<< ALL-IN-1 error with System File Converts >>" by TLAV02::THITINUN () Mon May 16 1994 11:24

   Hello,

   My ALL-IN-1 V2.4 gets error with System File Converts in Housekeeping job.
   In the mail of housekeeping job sent by All-in-1 Manager has error message :-
       :
     Convert Problem - copying old file back and aborting.
     Convert Problem - copying old file back and aborting.
       :      
   In the log file for the CONV procedure :  SYS_CONVERT.COM
   It gives the following information:-
       :
     Converting DIA1:[ALLIN1.SHARED_E]OA$DAF_E.DAT - starting at 8-may-1994...
     %FDL-E-SYNTAX, syntax error in statement 53

       deleted (4 blocks)
       :
       :
     My site have two share areas are OA$SHARE and OA$SHARA. The OA$SHARE
     gets Convert Problem but OA$SHARA has been converted successfully.

         What is the problem come from ?
         How can I fix the problem ?

     Thank you very much for your advice.

     Best Regards,

4166.1Corrupt SDAFODIXIE::WOLFEJohn Wolfe - (404)-924-6463Mon May 16 1994 14:4019
	Hi

	First, I assume you are running SYSTIDY.  The correct notes file for 
SYSTIDY is ATLANA::A1-TOOLKIT

	Your problem w the converts is probably a corrupt OA$SHARE:OA$DAF_E.DAT
but it could be just a bad FDL file.  Check the following:

	1.  If you have an OA$LIB:OA$DAF_E.OPT and it has the VBN errors in it,
	delete the file.

	2.  If you specify an FDL file for the convert, verify that it does not
	contain the errors.  If it does, you will need to correct this.

	3.  ANAL/RMS/CHECK OA$SHARE:OA$DAF_E.DAT

4166.2GIDDAY::SETHIBetter to ask a question than remain ignorantTue May 17 1994 02:2422
    Hi Thitinun,
    
    I tend to agree with John to some extent.  If this problem started all
    of a sudden did you upgrade OpenVMS ?  The reason why I am saking this
    question is because of the following error "%FDL-E-SYNTAX, syntax error in
    statement 53".
    
    If OpenVMS was upgraded I would suggest that you look at note 1373
    VAXAXP::VMSNOTES for the complete answer.  This "problem" appears from
    time to with OpenVMS upgrades.
    
    >  \***  VBN 263669:  INDEX BUCKET REFERENCES MISSING DATA BUCKET WITH
    >        VBN 241733.\
    
    This error seems to have been caused by the syntax problem, however as
    a belt and braces approach I would do a $ analyze/rms/check of the file
    to make sure the file's integrity is fine.  If the worse comes to the
    worse let us know and I'll see what I can do to help you.
    
    Regards,

   Could you please suggest me how can I do continue and fix the problems ?

   Thanks a lot for your advice.

    This stops being an ALL-IN-1 problem and becomes a VMS or RMS one now!
    
    Having said that, the Support Centres have tools that can fix files
    like this.

4166.5Check you backup proceduresIOSG::MAURICESix Programmers in search of an analystThu Jun 02 1994 12:569
    Hi,
    
    Please check your system backup procedures. The likely cause of this is
    that you are using the /ignore=interlock when saving a backup version
    of the DAF file(s). This saves a corrupted version of the file, and
    then after a system crash you restore this file, and then you realise
    that there are fates worse than death ;^)
