Hello Andrew,

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.

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.

(10104) in the error is the process id that is/was running. This may help in finding the VOB.

I'm pretty sure I know the vob in question - their main vob (\salira).

The following URL is to the instructions on running dbcheck. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21122748

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.

I was surprised to see some stuff come out on stderr:

[ccadmin] sons-clearcase:/apps/Rational/ClearCase/etc/utils/dbcheck -r1 -a -k -p8192 vob_db > C:\\cygwin\\tmp\\dbcheck.txt

Processing delete chain:  75 nodes on delete chain.

Eventually it finished stating:

Database consistency check completed

169 errors were encountered in 167 records/nodes

Also, I am going to send you a URL to a technote about this PC's heap size. I see messages indicating that you may need to adjust the heap settings for this host.

Depending on the dbcheck output, we may need to get a copy of the VOB's db directory but I rather hold off on that request until we see what the dbcheck reports.

I"ve attached the dbcheck output.
