INF: Error 3004 Uninitialized Pages Dumping Database

ID Number: Q77100

OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

While dumping a database, the following error message is received:

3004

uninitialized pages encountered while dumping database %.*s.

Run DBCC CHECKALLOC on this database for more information,

then call technical support if there are any errors.

CAUSE

There were users in the database during the dump database. The dump

process reads the allocation page and determines which pages have

data that need to be dumped; it then dumps the appropriate pages.

In the event that someone has caused a page to be marked as

allocated but the data is not yet on the page that the dump process

is trying to dump, this error will be reported.

RESOLUTION

Follow the suggestion of the error message and run DBCC. This

should resolve the problem; however, if there is corruption,

contact your primary support provider.
