Can someone give be an idea as to what is going wrong with my export
function. I have been running decmcc since 18 oct until 30 oct.
I then shut all the exporting jobs and the queues, I then just now
tried to restart the export function to see how this particular
function slows down the network.
This is the error that I get.
I select node in an entity called see003
begin time 3:50
end time 4-may-1992
expt per 30 min
expt target exp:usan.rdb
seq name n_stl_se3
I get the following
The requested operation cannot be completed
mcc routine error %export-f-invdbctx, invalid db context
entity existence info entity existence cannot be determined
I deleted the old .rdb files and deleted the batch jobs, and restarted
new ones with the correct name.
Any ideas? I had it running from the 18-30 of oct 1991\
Thanks Dave

In one of my previous notes, I described the same problem.(Don't remember the number). After some time we figured out that in our case, the problem came from the fact that I specified the begin time as NOW. In general, the begin time should be in the future. When you specify NOW, or the system time when you type in the command, the moment that your job is started in the queue, this time will be past and you get the message you described. Hope this helps Timo | |||||

Timo,
I specified the time to start as the future. i.e. 5 minutes ahead
of present wall clock time. I will give this a shot.
I just tried it again and gave it a time plus a date - I gave it a time
of 10 minutes ahead of wall clock time. It worked fine. So for some
reason the export functions that I set up yesterday, I did not give it
enough time to get going, I think?
Thanks for the help.
Dave

The real reason why this happened, I was changing my mcc_export within
datatrieve, this is what I typed in
DTR>define database mcc_export exp:usa.rdb ;
I should have typed in define database mcc_export on exp:usa.rdb ;
I did not have "on" in this line. This is the problem that this will
cause by leaving out the "on"
