Hi Walter:<BR>
<BR>
You say:- "I can duplicate the problem consistently on a test machine."<BR>
This is good.<BR>
I would try it without Bradmark in the picture. Just to eliminate one vendor.<BR>
If it reproduces without Bradmark great. If not I would call them to see<BR>
if they can debug this problem.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>

<BR><BR><BR>> From: <A href="mailto:wmurray@surewest.ne">wmurray@surewest.ne</A><BR>> To: powerh-l@lists.sowder.com<BR>> Subject: TurboIMAGE database being corrupted by QTP<BR>> Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 20:02:53 -0800<BR>> <BR>> [Also posted to HP3000-L]<BR>> <BR>> TurboIMAGE database being corrupted by QTP<BR>> <BR>> Please help me get to the root of this problem. It looks like either a<BR>> bug in TurboIMAGE (I hope not!) or a bug in PowerHouse 4GL (hard to<BR>> imagine).<BR>> <BR>> Environment: MPE/iX 7.5 PP3, PowerHouse 8.39.C1.<BR>> <BR>> I have this production database that occasionally gets corrupted during<BR>> a QTP run. I can duplicate the problem consistently on a test machine.<BR>> I don't just mean corrupted with bad data--I mean structural errors in<BR>> the database. The errors always seem to be associated with a particular<BR>> detail data set. DBGENERAL typically reports the errors as (1) FREE<BR>> SPACE COUNT INCONSISTENT, (2) DELETE CHAIN MISSING ENTRIES, and (3)<BR>> DELETE CHAIN BROKEN. Sometimes there are also structural errors related<BR>> to the paths between this detail data set and the two related automatic<BR>> masters. I can repair the damage with DBGENERAL, but the database gets<BR>> corrupted again in a few days.<BR>> <BR>> QTP reports the problem with these error messages:<BR>> "Data access error."<BR>> "Action Taken: Run terminated."<BR>> "MPE FILE ERROR 0 RETURNED BY FREADDIR ON ROOT FILE"<BR>> <BR>> After QTP terminates the run, I check the database and find it<BR>> corrupted.<BR>> <BR>> I am thinking that TurboIMAGE usually does an excellent job of<BR>> protecting itself against structural errors. Without using PM, it<BR>> shouldn't be possible for an application to damage a database in this<BR>> way. I wonder whether QTP always uses the IMAGE intrinsics, or whether<BR>> it might sometimes sidestep IMAGE and modify internal database<BR>> structures directly. Does anybody know?<BR>> <BR>> The detail data set in question has about 15,000,000 entries. It is<BR>> enabled for dynamic expansion, but the current capacity is still equal<BR>> to the initial capacity, so no expansion has occurred yet. None of the<BR>> master data sets is enabled for dynamic expansion. The data set is<BR>> related to two automatic masters, and both of those paths are sorted.<BR>> <BR>> I've placed a support call with COGNOS, but they haven't come up with<BR>> anything yet. I also plan to place calls to HP and Bradmark. Can<BR>> anybody help in the mean time? Thanks.<BR>> <BR>> Walter<BR>> <BR>> Walter J.
