Arcserve9 For Netware/Groupwise 6 Database issues

[jawasy]

I love arcserve. We have multiple servers (Compaq) running latest version of Netware 6 SP2. Arcserve 9 installed on all servers. Native IP network only. Upon completetion of backup job, Server reboots when trying to write to Arcserve Btrieve database, or does not write to database at all, ... or causes a server abend. When trying to restore from Arcserve Manager, files do not appear. Not getting much help from Computer Associates. anybody? somebody? please!

Also FSTAPE does not release resources - message on server console.

Hi,

1. In the arcserve manager go to ARCserve server admin -> Configuration -> database Engine -> Uncheck "Merge detail files while job is active" for the abend / reboot problem when the database merge is happening.

2. Module did not release resource please refer to the URL

3. Also increase the btrieve parameters in the Bti.cfg.
[MicroKernel]
MaxFiles =200 (default is 20)
MaxCursors=200 (default is 60)
CacheSize=32768 (default is 1024)
MaxClients=200(default is 30)
BackgroundThreads=25 (default is 4)

[Btrieve Communications Manager]
MaxWorkerThreads=25(default is 3)
MaxClients=200 (default is 15)

After making this change reboot the server.


Good Luck
