Thanks all for your responses so far. And now for some more details. I
wasn't sure if HP3000-L was the appropriate location for this as it delves
into 3rd party software and SRN IRIS.
As I said, this only appears to be occurring in Master sets. IE. SAM-ID-MST
in SAMDB has 28589 entries according to QUERY Form Sets (and Datanow),
however when I search through the set using Datanow doing a "Find All" @
wildcard, I get this result:
FIND RULE? (RETURN=DONE): @
PLEASE WAIT...NM FIND PROCESSOR (v990209A)
ENTRIES: 28589 READ: 28484 FOUND: 28484
The number read is less than the number of entries. This is also impacting
our SRN software as I can pull up a student in APPLY but when I attempt to
roll the student to RIM by selecting on their ID, I get 0 records found.
This morning I went into OMNIUTIL, turned off TPI for all our SRN databases,
removed all indexes (option 1 then 5), streamed the DBIN and DBIX jobs for
each database, and turned on TPI again with no change in behavior. I also
noticed this result in our SAMDBIX job:
DS76004.3.04 Omnidex IMS DBINSTAL Fri Sep 1 2000 07:50:09
(C) Dynamic Information Systems Corp. 1981
Data base name: SAMDB
Cmd: B
Table [;key] SAM-ID-MST
Unloading keywords
SAM-ID-MST: 28484 records (304,864 keywords) processed
Even the Omnidex re-index job isn't reading all the records! To top it all
off, our BiTech databases are experiencing similiar problems, yet they
aren't even Omnidex enabled. I can find a particular Master set record
using an IMAGE KEYED find in Datanow, but if I do a $SERIAL read, it doesn't
find it.
Any thoughts, ideas, voodoo cures would be appreciated.
