C057   Database maintenance in progress; please exit

Source:  GroupWise engine; database services.

Explanation:  Maintenance in progress error.

Possible Cause:  Database maintenance in progress (one of the databases is being recovered or rebuilt).

Action:  Exit GroupWise and try again later. Depending on the size of the database, the maintenance could take from a few seconds to several minutes.

Possible Cause:  If the condition continues for an extended period and no GroupWise maintenance is being performed, another program might already have the required file open with exclusive access.

Action:  Check the open/lock activity on GroupWise databases and other files. You might find that a backup program is holding the file open.

Possible Cause:  If this error occurs constantly from the POA, a damaged message file might be blocking its processing.

Action:  Check the priority subdirectories of the \wpcsout\ofs directory. See "Post Office Directory" in "Directory Structure Diagrams" in GroupWise 6.5 Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure. Move message files out to a temporary location until the damaged message file is eliminated. Undamaged message files can then be returned to their original subdirectories for processing.

Action:  Record the conditions under which you encountered the error. For the latest error code solutions, search for TIDs about the error code in the Novell Support Knowledgebase .
