Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Database crashes at startup
Error incrementing semaphore, current value = <number>, error = <number> (6270)
Error incrementing semaphore, current value = 0 error = 298 (6270)
Unable to clear semaphore. (1715)
semRdyLog: semUnlkLog ret = -1
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
Error 298 means "too many posts."
There is a limit of 65,534 (64 KB - 1) posts allowed per event semaphore. If this limit is reached, then the ERROR_TOO_MANY_POSTS return code is returned.
FIX:
Check the Event Viewer and empty it.
To limit the number of posts being made to the Event Viewer, set EVTLEVEL the environment variable to none or brief. Value can be set to "none", "brief" or "normal". The values of EVTLEVEL must be written in lowercase.
