RDF Messages
Effect. The purger starts an attempt to build the list.
Recovery. This is an informational message; no recovery is required.
891
identifier
is the transaction identifier.
Cause. This is the first transaction that requires network undo with respect to business
consistency across all backup nodes. All transactions that committed after this
transaction are undone on this node except those transactions that can be safely kept
because they actually committed before this transaction on one or more different
primary nodes in the RDF network. The transaction identifier is listed in internal
format.
Effect. This is an internal event. There is no effect.
Recovery. This is an informational message for historical purposes about a network
undo pass. No recovery action is required.
892
filename
is the name of the missing image file.
Cause. An updater has attempted to roll over to the specified image file, but that file is
missing.
Effect. The updater retries until the file is restored (the event message is repeated
every minute until the file has been restored).
Recovery. Restore the missing file to the image trail.
893
Cause. You attempted to issue a new STOP UPDATE, TIMESTAMP command, but
the existing ZTXUNDO list from your last stop-update-to-time operation is still needed.
First network transaction to be undone: %identifier
Image file filename is missing
Stop Update to Time Operation rejected
