3610.0. "router mgr problem?" by SNOFS1::63496::CHIUANDREW () Wed Jun 12 1996 02:49

    HI,
    
    Just want to follow on notes 3592 since I still cannot solve my problem
    with Router Mgr V1.0 (V1.0-17) got it from asrv01.
    
    After I 'delete' router mgr (directory autobahn under clearvis), then I
    re-install router mgr, I still have problem in accessing the database.
    
    
    Is it a known problem, is there any workaround?
    
    
    thanks in advance for help!

Andrew,

I encountered the same problem and I did the following to fix it.
If you do not mind losing your current database...,

1) Stop the Router manager
2) Rename the directory \clearvis\btrieve to say \clearvis\btrieve.old
3) Create a new directory \clearvis\btrieve
4) Then start the Router manager. From what I observed, it re-created the
database files.

3610.2what is acutally getting corrupted?CSC64::CESARONEMaria Bingham CSC Network Support DTN:592-4743Wed Jul 24 1996 15:1624
    RE: 3610.1  
    Deleting the btrieve directory and creating a new one 
    elliminated the database corruption error on Windows 95 and on
    Windows NT.   Thanks!
    
    However, if the customer does not want to delete the whole router 
    management database, there must be a more gentle way to resolve this 
    problem of database corruption without deleting the whole btrieve
    directory.  
    
    RE: 3592.1  I agree.  Until now, the problem has appeared on
    our internal PCs.  What happens when it is a customer system?
    Is this indeed a software bug?
    Should we be reporting it through other channels?

    Can anyone explain what database file is really getting corrupted?

    Please open an IPMT case against clearVISN on this problem.
    
    In the case I need you to describe in detail the steps required to 
    reproduce the problem.

3610.4database corruption woes.....CSC64::CESARONEMaria Bingham CSC Network Support DTN:592-4743Wed Aug 07 1996 16:2836
    
    Hello Bill,
    
    I cannot tell you what causes this problem.  I am a newbe on PCs
    in general and ClearVisn in particular. I have been running ClearVisn
    and the Router manager for several weeks without any problem (adding
    and removing devices) on my Win95 PC.  This morning I started 
    the application and I got the database corrupted error.  I did the 
    steps in note 3610.1 and was able to bring up the router manager again.
    The same files that existed in the previous \clearvisn\btrieve directory 
    magically re-appeared in the new directory I created.  I did not have to 
    reinstall anything.  
    
    The two customers and a collegue that reported this problem could not 
    tell me what caused the corruption either.  One customer had
    reinstalled Clearvisn twice before calling us with the error but he
    could not give me any specifics on what caused the corruption.
    
    I can make my PC \btrieve folders available (I still have the old files)
    if that would help.  The *.btv files in the new \btrieve directory
    all have today's date.  I cannot tell if there is any physical
    corruption on any of the files but I have not had any problems with any
    other application on this PC.  I have not installed any new software. 
    I have not changed my PC configuration in any way.
    
    Urgh! I just restarted router manager and got the database corruption 
    error again! I did not change anything.  I just did a file exit on 
    the router manager before I went to lunch.
    
    What does the application do when starting up that we can use to trace
    down the corrution?  Are there some DLL files that we need to be aware
    of?  Any ideas?  Is anyone else having this problem?

3610.5Will check into thisNETCAD::FORINOThu Aug 08 1996 19:298
Note 3570.4 contains Stonybrook's work around for
this problem but it really is no different that what
is being described here.

I check into trying to get more details on this and
get it off to StonyBrook.
