    util a/17/1 Segmentation fault

    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 22
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct,Direct,Local

     

    Description:

    Even though the table (such as the z00r) *is* in the $data_root/file_list and the file_list_size and file_list_type parameters are present in the $data_root/prof_library file, when an attempt is made to create a new Oracle table via util a/17/1 (drop/create), the following is seen:

     

      Enter table name to Drop & Create (all/table-name): z00r 
      Segmentation fault (core dumped) 
      Table/Index z00r not managed by xxx60 check file list ! 

     

     

    Resolution:

    Uncertain.

    The allocation of the z00r table in the $data_root/file_list was 100000K.  Reducing this to 1000K eliminated the Segmentation fault and allowed the table to be created.  Increasing it to 10000K was also OK.

    Surprisingly, restoring the original file_list (with 100000K) then also worked!

    It seems that there was *no* substantive change to the system between the time when the original error occurred and this later time when it did not.  But, anyway, it was working after that.
