  62 <p>For the error: 06/23/06 07:48:04 db_server(10104): Error: db_server.exe(10104): Error: Database identifier 427883 not foundin "../db__obj.c" line 731.</p>
  63
  64 <p>This could possibly mean there is an issue with the VOBs database. Unfortunately I cannot determine which VOB this is for? I would need you to run a "dbcheck" on the VOB that is reporting this error. Unfortunately I was seeing this error many times in the logs so I cannot tell for which VOB it is reporting this on.</p>
  65
  66 <p>(10104) in the error is the process id that is/was running. This may help in finding the VOB. </p>

  68
  69 <p>I'm pretty sure I know the vob in question - their main vob (\salira).</p>

  75 <p>I tried following that by using the method of lock vob, copy the vob database files, unlock vob, dbcheck the copy. Everytime I got a -4 error so I went back to do lock vob, dbcheck, unlock vob.</p>
