Hi,
I have recently inherited a new customer who is running SCO 5.0.5 with Progress 6.2 (dlc 62l). Seems that they recently had a HDD crash and next to impossible to recover any parts of the HDD. They have a manual backup of the progress data on another hard disk (abclive.bi , abclive.db). However, there seems to be something wrong with these 2 files when they were backed up (and they are the ONLY ones I was able to find!!)
When I try to start-up the database (ie pro abclive, or even pro -F abclive) I get the following error:
The PROGRESS 4GL&RDBMS Version 6.2L as of Tue Mar 31 18:24:25 EST 1992
** The FORCE option was given, database recovery will be skipped. (33)
** Your database was damaged. You must dump its data and reload it. (37)
SYSTEM ERROR: wrong dbkey in block. Found 13177792, should be 2752 (1124)
** Please save file named core for analysis by PSC. (439)
Quit(coredump)
Is there ANY way that I can get into the database (even tho it may have errors) and at least dump everthing useable so I can re-build a new one. Or is there a utility available. I tried proutil and such but to no avail!!
ANY help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks regards. Otto Rodusek (otto@applied.com.sg).
PS: I ran the scandb utility from Peter de Jong and unfortunately it thinks that everything is ok??
