Patch PE81-1808231
------------------

Platforms: All

* This patch updates the dblogreset utility to incorporate the changes
  as of eloqdb database server patch PE81-1808230.

  Fixed a problem where repeating an interrupted startup recovery could
  result in an empty forward-log "bridge" segment (#4255).

  After an abnormal termination, the database server (or the dblogreset
  utility) perform a startup recovery. During this process, a special
  forward-log "bridge" segment is created that allows a dbrecover,
  dbrepl or fwutil process to continue across the previous abnormal
  termination.

  Interrupting and then repeating the startup recovery should resume
  on an existing "bridge" segment. However, because an internal state
  was not correctly initialized, the resulting "bridge" segment could
  be empty.


Patch PE81-1501301
------------------

Platforms: All

* This patch updates the dblogreset utility to incorporate the changes
  as of eloqdb database server patch PE81-1501300.

  Fixed potentially wrong volume generation count after a recovery
  from on-line backup mode was interrupted and then repeated (#4186).

  Improved the interoperability of the dbrecover utility with database
  replication (#4201). This patch ensures identical behavior of the
  dblogreset utility and the PE81-1501300 eloqdb after dbrecover was
  used.
