DSXchange

Hello All,

We started having trouble accessing jobs in one of our projects recently.
I did an export of the whole project and saw that none of the DSJob sections in the export had any information about the attributes for a given job. Only the following text appeared "COMMENT No records in job."

I went into admin and ran a cleanup on the project and the log displayed this message along with others while trying to perform other index processes (set, create,...) for DS_jobobjects.

Program "DELETE.INDEX": pc = 70C, WARNING: Internal file corruption detected during file open!
File must be repaired, possible truncation.
hsize: 2048
bsize: 2048
fsize: 33358
Unable to open "DS_JOBOBJECTS".

I went into ds.tools and ran "LIST.INDEX DS_JOBOBJECTS ALL" and that returned a similar message.

Is there a way to correct this file?
Do I need to delete and recreate the project and import from a past Export?

This is serious. DS_JOBOBJECTS is, as you're finding out, THE critical table for design time information.

You can use UVFIXFILE from the command prompt, or fixtool or uvfixfile from the operating system prompt, to trace the file to report whether there is, indeed any internal corruption.

If there is, either:

• hire a competent consultant to effect repairs (one who dreams in hexadecimal is the sort of person you're after)
  
  delete the project, re-create it, then restore from recent backup or from recent export

Ray thanks for your response.

I ran UVFIXFILE and got the following of warnings

"Warning "DS_JOBOBJECTS/OVER.30" has been truncated.
Warning: Internal file corruption detected during file open!
file must be repaired, possible truncation
hsize: 2048
bsize: 2048
fsize: 33358
warning: Unable to set GROUP LOCKS on DS_JOBOBJECTS.
....."

With this in mind I'm going to take option # 2 from above.
Do you have any clue as to what type of event would corrupt this file?

Do people still dream in "hexadecimal?" I thought that went out with punch cards.
Have a nice day

The exact same error or a similar one involving DS_JOBOBJECTS? Which version are you working on and which part of Ray's advice did you attempt?

thanks for your response.

yet to start my attempt on this ?

So please advice me..

Ray posted excellent advice, I could just repeat what he recommended as initial steps. If you have any idea how this happened it would be good know as it might change the approach to solving the problem. I would also recommend that unless you have the exact same error messages as the original poster in this thread that you continue in your other and leave this one without thread drift.
