Hello Sir,

Because of space problem on QA server we deleted RT_LOGnnn files of almost all jobs.but when i try to open the job or compile the jobs we are getting "Failed to open RT_LOGnnn file) error message.

Can you guys please help me out on this.

Thanks in advance

You should never do this again. Internal repository files should NEVER been messed with.

Your project is basically corrupted at this point. If you left the RT_LOGnnn directories behind then the easiest solution is to go to an existing job in Director and clear its log. Then, go to the directory that contains the log files for that job. Copy the entire contents (DATA.30, OVER.30, and a hidden .Type30 files) to each and every log file you cleared.

If you removed the RT_LOGnnn directories, you have really no choice but to create a new project, export and import your existing jobs into the new project, and drop the old corrupted project.

You could create a new job, and compile it. This will create a new, empty RT_LOGnnn where nnn is the job number for that job.

You can then (recursively) copy this for each of the job numbers for which you deleted the RT_LOGnnn hashed file. Get a list of job numbers from DS_JOBS, and where xxx is the job number of one of the jobs that lacks a log, and nnn is the job number of the newly created job.

Manually recreate the RT_LOGnnn directories and contents, or write a script to do it.

XCOPY is a DOS command, so you can use it from a CMD shell on the server.
