Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
SYSTEM ERROR: Unexpected error return from semAdd -1 (6517)
Main version 9 db went down
Started a second version 8 database
Started a version 8.2C database on the production server.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1C
IBM AIX 4.3.3
CAUSE:
There is shared memory contention between the two databases.
FIX:
1. Make a backup of the database in its current state if this is possible.
2. Reboot the system to clear shared memory.
3. When the system comes back up, truncate the bi file using the command:
proutil db-name -C truncate bi
4. Restart the database.
If the database still will not start, try accessing it in single user mode using the command:
pro db-name
If this fails, restore from backup and roll forward any AI files if after imaging has been implemented. Please contact Progress Software Technical Support for further assistance.
