2228.0. "SLSA028 STATUS %X0000002C???" by MUNICH::REIN (How come holes in SWISS CHEESE??) Mon Mar 24 1997 04:28

    Hallo,
    
    A customer made an upgrade to SLSA028.
    System is 6.2-1h3
    
    Since that time he is reporting following event:
    
    Backup is running, all looks very fine, no errors logged, noting on
    error counters.
    
    No .err files in sls$sysbak_logs
    
    But in summary mail and in the summary file we find a line which is
    disturbing, and makes all unsave
    
    %BACKUP-I-STARTRECORD, starting backup date recording pass
    %SLS-I-FINISHED, finished volume C00218 on drive _$1$MKB100: at

    STATUS %X0000002C
           **********
               |
    write sys$output f$message("%X0000002C")
    %SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
    
                           
    Can someone tell me, from where this status messages comes??
    Is it a feature or a bug?
    
    kind regards
    Volker

    After running backups with verify on, we got more info.
    
    There' a real problem, we found a decthread bugcheck!
    
    There is a Stars Article and a pointer to a patch!

    The ECO kit ALPCMAR04_062 addresses the problem described in this             
    article.  More information regarding this kit may be found in the             
    ECO-SUMMARY database by using a query of ALPCMAR04_062
