I am setting up a "poor man's" reporting box. The method that I am trying to utilize is FTPing log files to the report box and roll the data base forward. The recovery errors out as shown below: >recover dms.data.azce DATABASE DMS LAST DBSTORED THU, NOV 11, 1999, 12:05 PM >run **** ERROR #1 **** Can't save restart file: DUPLICATE PERMANENT FILE NAME (FSE RR 100) DBRECOV ABORTS ON THU, NOV 11, 1999, 4:08 PM DBRECOV STACKDUMP FOLLOWS: PC=a.00a44bb0 NL.PUB.SYS/stackdump_prime+$264 NM* 0) SP=418468d8 RP=a.00e56f70 stackdump2+$80c DP=c0202008 PSP=41846798 PCPRIV=2 NM 1) SP=41846798 RP=a.00e576b4 STACKDUMP+$208 DP=c0202008 PSP=418465d8 PCPRIV=2 NM 2) SP=418465d8 RP=a.00e57498 ?STACKDUMP+$8 DP=c0202008 PSP=41846518 PCPRIV=2 export stub: 1450.00024b5c DBRECOV.PUB.SYS/abend+$3b0 NM 3) SP=41846518 RP=1450.0001dbe8 runcmnd+$978 DP=41638000 PSP=418463d0 PCPRIV=3 NM 4) SP=418463d0 RP=1450.00017bd0 readcommands+$664 DP=41638000 PSP=418462c8 PCPRIV=3 NM 5) SP=418462c8 RP=1450.0003d254 splob'+$11c DP=41638000 PSP=41846288 PCPRIV=3 NM 6) SP=41846288 RP=1450.00000000 DP=41638000 PSP=41846130 PCPRIV=2 (end of NM stack) Abort occured outside analysis and recovery time. Cause of abort is: Restart file open failed I cannot find the file which is apparently causing the problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?
