Severity: PE71-0610132: BUG FIX Superseded patches: PE71-0609122: BUG FIX PE71-0606292: BUG FIX PE71-0602282: ENHANCEMENT, BUG FIX Patch PE71-0610132 ------------------ Platforms: All * A rare defect was fixed that could result in a crash of the dbrecover utility (#3217). A message like below is output: Assertion failed: page_addr < vol->curr_size file volume.c, line 6183 This problem could happen if the data volume was extended and the volume list of available blocks had to be extended as well (this is required around every 500 MB). During forward-recovery, 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 - PE71-0610131 - dblogreset utility - PE71-0608010 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0609122 ------------------ Platforms: All * The dbrecover 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 - PE71-0609121 - dblogreset utility - PE71-0608010 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0606292 ------------------ Platforms: All * The dbrecover utility was modified to add support for the modified forward-log file 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 - PE71-0606291 - dblogreset utility - PE71-0606293 - fwaudit utility Patch PE71-0602282 ------------------ Platforms: All * A rare defect with forward-recovery was fixed that could result in a corrupted volume set (#2999). This causes an internal consistency check to fail and eloqdb6 to abort on startup with an error message like below: Assertion failed: page == new_vol->flist_tail server panic: Aborting on internal failure, file volume.c, line 3988 This problem could happen if the data volume was extended and the volume list of available blocks had to be extended as well (this is required around every 500 MB). The recovery then missed to update the flist_tail field in the volume header, causing a panic the next time the server was restarted. The dbrecover utility was fixed to correctly update the flist_tail field. In addition the eloqdb6 behavior was modified to detect and correct this problem on startup. A notice is written to the server event log file in this case. * The dbrecover 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 - PE71-0602281 - dblogreset utility - PE71-0602283 - fwaudit utility Installation: ------------- Please download the patch archive that corresponds with the installed release.
