RE: [U2] Internal data error
Hi, A (unfortunate) common problem when a server is reset when files are in use. The internal file structure becomes corrupted. Our procedure for repair is the following: One the unix commandline: cp -r directoryname directoryname.backup fixtool -file directoryname (this will show an overview of errors) Fixtool -file directoryname -fix (this will attempt to fix the file) BUT fixtool is improved in the later versions (10.0 and above) so you might not want to use it! After the copy you can run on the Universe commandline: uvfixfile filename this works on all versions but not on 64bit files. Hope this helps, hoping for you that you do not encounter this often. If you need more help contact me.

Re: [U2] Internal data error
Bummer Teri! You've encountered a broken file with a Backward Link (blink) error. Call your U2 support provider to find out the steps to recover. U2 Lab Services baseline recommendation is for all systems to run UniVerse Transaction Logging to eliminate broken files upon recovery of a down system. Any system that does not run UniVerse Transaction Logging takes a chance of having broken files upon recovery, as you discovered. A broken file will occur when system crashes when either of these happens: a) A dynamic file expands or contracts b) A static files extends for overflow The reason is that three disk writes occur: 1. One writes for the forward pointer 2. One for the backward pointer and 3. One for the header of the file Should any of these three writes not make it to the disk; the file will be broken upon startup. UniVerse Transaction Logging writes to the transaction log first, before writing to the file. Upon recovery, the open UniVerse Transaction Log is applied, thereby preserving the integrity of the file. UniVerse Transaction Logging must be coupled with a Hardware Solution for it to be effective. Sorry to hear it! Steve Stephen M.
