RE: [U2] Alternate Indexes
Mark This is one I have seen often - usually because the file or it's index was open by a process at the time of creation or build. Resolution: 1. get everyone off - including PHANTOMs 2. LOGIN cleanly without running any LOGIN that might open files to COMMON etc. 3. DELETE.INDEX xx ALL 4. CREATE.INDEX / BUILD.INDEX / etc All should then be OK. Useful utilities: Unix: fuser -u Unix filename Windows: handle (available from those wonderful people at http://www.sysinternals.com If MFILES is low compared to your working file set you may find that a file is LOGICALLY open but PHYSICALLY closed as it is in the rotating file pool. If so then these utilities may mis-report that you are safe. That's why EVERYBODY OUT (to quote Miriam Carlin) is the best idea.

RE: [U2] Alternate Indexes
You might have to do; SET.INDEX DELIN TO NULL FORCE CREATE.INDEX DELIN TAXNO CREATE.INDEX DELIN LOAN.CO.NO BUILD.INDEX DELIN ALL I keep a VOC record updated (REBUILD.INDEX.ALL.FILES) with all our alternate indexes and I use this to reindex the account whenever we move the account to a test machine. Fortunately, it doesn't take too long (10 minutes) for all of our files so it is practical for us.

Re: [U2] Alternate Indexes
Did you create the indexes on the new system or did you copy them over from the other system? - Original Message - From: Mark Waldron [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 3:12 PM Subject: [U2] Alternate Indexes We just converted from DG/UX to Win/2003 UV 10.1.11 over the Christmas extended weekend.

RE: [U2] Alternate Indexes
Maybe the Index Pointer is confused since the Account's path has changed; try using SET.INDEX DELIN TO NULL and re-create/build the indexes?

Try SET.INDEX to update the file's header to point to where the I_ file is on the new W2K box. --Ron P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Waldron Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 10:23 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Alternate Indexes Copying from DG/UX to W2k Universe version 10.1.1 using uvbackup and then restoring under UniAdmin restore function.

RE: [U2] Alternate Indexes
What I do when transferring accounts/files from system to system is to SET.INDEX MY.FILE TO NULL FORCE This clears the file header and will allow you to create and build index from scratch.
