    cannot read from file 201 because it failed verification tests ... temp01

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Description:
    I ran p_manage_01. It seemed to run OK, but after, OPAC/keyword searching are not working: the user gets no response; the www_server log shows "network connection timeout".

    Resolution:
    I did the SQL from KB 8192-6423 to check for missing Oracle indexes:

    abc01@ALEPH20> select index_name from all_indexes where owner = 'USM01' and index_name like 'Z%' minus select index_name from all_indexes where owner = 'ABC01' and index_name like 'Z%' and status = 'VALID';
    **** Hit return to continue ****

    INDEX_NAME
    ------------------------------
    Z0101_ID3
    Z69_ID1
    Z97_ID1
    Z97_ID2
    Z97_ID3
    Z98_ID

    The Z97_ID1, Z97_ID2, Z97_ID3, and Z98_ID are all indexes on Keyword tables which should have been generated as part of p_manage_01.

    Looking at the p_manage_01 logs in abc01 $data_scratch, we see that the cycles files show success and the last data load step log (p_manage_01_e.log) is also successful, but the next step (create_ora_tables_z97_id1.log
    ) and all of the following Oracle index build steps -- fail like this:

    aleph_admin@ALEPH20> 02:40:45 aleph_admin@ALEPH20> CREATE INDEX ABC01.Z97_ID1 ON
    ABC01.Z97 (Z97_WORD_R ASC)
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01187: cannot read from file 201 because it failed verification tests
    ORA-01110: data file 201: '/ora01/oradata/aleph20/aleph20_temp01.dbf'

    I tried to build the z97_id1 using util a/17/2, but it got the same error.

    util o/14/1 and o/17/2 also show the error.


    This error indicates that the Oracle TEMP tablespace files are corrupted. This is a temporary tablespace and can be dropped and recreated at will; there's no data in it which Aleph needs. It should be recreated with new tablespace files.

    Once this problem is resolved you should use util a/17/2 to build all 6 of these Oracle indexes.
