PC DirSync: How to Recover from Missing REQTRANS.GLB FileLast reviewed: June 4, 1996Article ID: Q119014 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSREQTRANS.GLB is the directory synchronization (Dir-Sync) transaction file that contains transactions created on that postoffice. Each transaction has a transaction number (sync number) associated with it. The REQTRANS.GLB file should never be deleted. Deleting the REQTRANS.GLB file may prevent transactions from being processed. If the file is accidentally deleted, re-creating a zero-byte REQTRANS.GLB file is not sufficient to ensure that future transactions will be included in the Dir-Sync process.
CAUSEAfter a zero-byte REQTRANS.GLB file is created, the new transactions will begin at zero. If the requestor synchronization (ReqSync) number in the REQCONF.GLB file is greater than zero, all transactions made at the postoffice will be ignored until the transaction number is greater than the ReqSync number in the REQCONF.GLB file.
RESOLUTIONThe correct recovery for this problem depends on whether the postoffice is a requestor (Case 1) or the Dir-Sync server (Case 2).
Case 1: REQTRANS.GLB Has Been Deleted on a Requestor PostofficeThis situation can be resolved by creating a RESYNC file for that requestor postoffice as follows:
Case 2: REQTRANS.GLB Has Been Deleted on the Dir-Sync Server PostofficeIt is somewhat more work on the Administrator's part to recover from a missing REQTRANS file on the Dir-Sync server. The steps above for resetting a requestor will not work on the server, as IMPORT will not process the RESYNC file.
