To close the topic, I'd like to point some usefull information I found
this morning :
- alternative start-up :
http://chandlerproject.org/Journal/GrahamPerrin20090106
- Backup, restore and optimisation routines in Chandler Desktop :
http://chandlerproject.org/Journal/GrahamPerrin20090110
- Chandler quits on launch or won't start.
http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/TroubleshootChandler#Chandler%20quits%20on%20launch%20or%20won%27
Ok ok Got it now.
So If I am back up addicted, I should export to .chex file manually.
Also If Chandler crash, one should try the several alternative
cleaning-starts before getting back to backup files.
Proposition to chandler developpers :
I think it would be great to fire a message to users when a Exception
occures while starting up pointing the possibility to use alternative
starts up.
Indeed those alternatives are just great but I discovered them after
having solved my prb by hand (I mean command lines and many hours confused).
Thanks guys,
Paul

get now everything back in order.
Good.
Now here are some questions :
- is the binary_backup.tgz file saved at each closing time ?
No, it's saved when you pick the 'backup' option under the
'Repository' menu
or when you use the similar command line option.
- What is this weird concept of environment around the database that
can be
corrupted AND impossible to recover ?
See
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/env/intro.html
and chapters following.
Also see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html
- Am I wrong If I say that :
RECOVER = restore database environment
RESTORE = restore database from backup
Not really, but you're using 'restore' differently in each sentence.
Again, see
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html
- If I want to be sure to backup my data, important files in the
profile are
:
- *.db and DB* (raw data)
- binary_backup.tgz (backup to restore)
- no use to save database environement thus recover doesn't
always work
and no important data in it ?
There are two ways to backup your data:
- use repository backup as outlined earlier
- export your data (this is done automatically when you quit Chandler,
normally)
A data export is not a complete repository backup but your personal
data is preserved.
Again big big thank first for you work on chandler and then to help
me with
my crash problems.
I think I know better how to be sure not to lost my chandler data and
that's
nice feeling.
You're welcome.
Andi..
