---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0705301 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the dblogreset utility as released with Eloquence B.07.10. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.07.10 release. Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE71-0705301: ENHANCEMENT Superseded patches: PE71-0702081: BUG FIX PE71-0610131: BUG FIX PE71-0609121: BUG FIX PE71-0606291: BUG FIX PE71-0602281: ENHANCEMENT Patch PE71-0705301 ------------------ Platforms: All * The dblogreset utility was enhanced to retain a forward-log in case of a recovery after an abnormal termination of the database server. Previous releases disabled an existing forward-log in such a situation so that it became necessary to create a new backup. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.1.11" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0705300 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0705302 - dbrecover utility - PE71-0705231 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0702081 ------------------ Platforms: All * Aborting on-line backup mode recovery could result in data corruption (#3279). The server process (or the dblogreset utility) performs a recovery from on-line backup on startup if the server was previously shut down while in on-line backup. This recovery transfers any changes temporarily stored in the log volume(s) during the on-line backup mode to the data volume(s). Depending on the amount of data that was saved in the log volume(s) and disk performance this could take some time. If this recovery was interrupted (or aborted for some reason) in some cases this recovery could not be re-run afterwards because the generation count of the data volume would differ from the log volume(s) generation count. In this case the data volume is corrupted as the changes were only partially transferred. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.10" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0702080 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0610132 - dbrecover utility - PE71-0608010 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0610131 ------------------ Platforms: All * A rare defect was fixed that could result in a crash of the dblogreset utility while recovering from a previously active on-line backup (#3217). A message like below is output: Assertion failed: page_addr < vol->curr_size file volume.c, line 6183 This problem could happen if during on-line backup the data volume was virtually extended and the volume list of available blocks had to be extended as well (this is required around every 500 MB). When on-line the server was shutdown while on-line backup was active and then the dblogreset utility was used, the stored free-list information was then applied in a wrong way. This problem was introduced with changes to the recovery code in the previous patch PE71-0609121. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.9" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0610130 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0610132 - dbrecover utility - PE71-0608010 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0609121 ------------------ Platforms: All * The dblogreset utility was modified to implement the equivalent recovery procedure of eloqdb6 patch PE71-0609120. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.8" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0609120 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0609122 - dbrecover utility - PE71-0608010 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0606291 ------------------ Platforms: All * The dblogreset utility was modified to add support for the modified transaction journal format added with eloqdb6 patch PE71-0606290. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.7" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0606290 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0606292 - dbrecover utility - PE71-0606293 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0602281 ------------------ Platforms: All * The dblogreset utility was modified to add support for the modified forward-log file format added with eloqdb6 patch PE71-0602280. The eloqdb6 server process was enhanced to use a more efficient format to record index and meta data changes. This enhancement results in a substantial reduction in disk space for the forward-log file when index entries are changed frequently. This change required a modification of the forward-log file format. While older forward-log files are still supported, related utility programs need to be updated to handle the new format. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.6" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0602280 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0602282 - dbrecover utility - PE71-0602283 - fwaudit utility Installation: ------------- Please download the patch archive that corresponds with the installed release.
