221.0. "Accvio, initial replication RDB v6.1 to v4.1?" by ORAREP::KERNEL::PULLEY (Three cheers for the holy spirit) Thu Jun 13 1996 11:46

    Hi Folks,
    
    Well I thought I seen this before but ...
    My customer's trying to do an initial replication, from a source node
    VMS v5.5-2, RDB v6.1 MV, DDD v6.0-0, to a target of VMS v5.5-2, RDB v4.1,
    DDD v2.3.
    It's to a new database.
    He can transfer from databases the other way.
    He can transfer from the source node back to it's self.
    
    When his transfer fails, it stops with:-
    %ddal-i-defgblfld, .... rdbvms$vintage_transfer_name
    %system-f-accvio, reason=00 virtual address=00000008, pc=00199237, ...
    
    I suggested trying rdb$remote_multiplex_off 1 on his source node but
    he said that didn't make any difference.
    
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Steve.
    

    
    Steve,
    
    I don't recall if we've ever seen such a problem.
    
    If the customer is able to perform one transfer from Rdb 6.1 MV to
    the remote Rdb 4.1 system but not another transfer, then perhaps it is
    a resource problem.  Otherwise, it would seem to be an environment
    definition problem or an outright bug.
    
    The fact that the customer can perform the transfer successfully if the
    target is a local disk rather than a remote one makes it seem as if the
    problem is in the Rdb remote software.

    What I was trying to say in .0 was they weren't able to use any v4.1
    targets, or v4.2 for that matter.
    Anyway, they put on RDB v6.1 ECO 1, and the problem was gone.
