Inventory database invalid

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 4 Nov 2004

Q:
When I run MGMTDBS.NCF to start the database I get a message in the Sybasescreen saying 'vol1:\zenworks\inv\db\mgmtdb.db is not a valid database file'and a similar message for the NAL DB. Unfortunately, I've just been away fora couple of weeks so I don't know how it got this way. Any ideas on how totroubleshoot/fix this problem?



A:
Copy the DB files out and back in again. Most likely the problem is that the DB files were on an NSS volume with compression enabled and oneor more of the files had become compressed. See TID 10075966.
