<QUOTE>
AREV 3.12 

WINNT Network using NPP

0 Problems for 3 Years



SYSTEM was rebooted around 1:45 yesterday

Everything OK

Around 2:15 PM everything froze



I couldn't even get to any "dots" on logon.

I found arevc.ini had 0 bytes.

Copied an existing arevc.ini into arev directory and was able to make progress

Here is where I am at now.

Time is becoming short, and I am becoming desperate.



Scenario 1

Using SYSPROG I am able get into AREV as follows:

H:\arev\arev.exe 

When attempting to open the problem APP this way I get the following errors:

FS1003

401

FS401

W192

W551

At this point I am stuck it won't let me do anything else - I am able ctrl-break to get to debug, but am at input.char so there is nothing that I know of that I can do.



Scenario 2

Attempting to get directly to the application as follows:

H:\arev\arev.exe john /x /m 4096 

I get the following:

FS1003

After I press the enter key the applicaiton goes away.

 

Scenario 3

I login to AREV using SYSPROG and create a new APP

I open the NEW APP and attempt to do a copytable from "bad" APP

Here is the fun part:

I get a group format error on REVMEDIA.LK (FS1003)



My 1st question ( of many! ) is as follows:

Is the easiest way to fix this to restore a backup. If so, do I lose all new tables created since last backup. 





Time is becoming short, and I am becoming desperate.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

<QUOTE>FS401 says files are missing.



Restoring revmedia is quickest way back.

Files created since last backup are there, just in limbo.



Set-alias revboot sysprog revmedia, pdisk revmedia.txt,  list revmedia f1, pdisk prn.

This will make a text file of what rev has cataloged.



from DOS Do a DIR rev*.lk /B ]files.txt

that will tell you what exists, catalged or not



bring both files into excel, you can compare them, figure out which dos files are not cataloged in revmedia.



copy a revmedia row to JUNK*GLOBAL

edit the row, have field 1 point to one of the non-cataloged files

attach JUNK

edit JUNK *, figure out what it is

copy revmedia JUNK*GLOBAL to REALFILENAME*REALACCOUNT



tedious but doable.



Hope this helps



Bob
