Main problem is that gfix is almost 'do nothing' utility - it just places appropriate tags to DPB and attaches database. After it all job is done by engine during attach. At this time utility can't do anything useful cause control has not returned to it from isc_attach_database(). It also can't do something in other threads cause it has no handles before completion of attach. When attach is completed, nothing remains to do for gfix - everything is already done. What about suing services API and showing progress. To show some progress using services engine must have pointer to UtilSvc class (one which controls in service or standalone mode does utility run) during attach, i.e. we must have a way to pass this class to regular attachDatabase() call. Somewhy I dislike such solutions :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
