Hi all,

Does anyone know how to manually restart the recovery server DMFRCP
without having to restart Ingres? Our server is a 4CPU WIndows 2000
Server running Ingres II 2.6/0305.

IVM is showing that the recovery server has mysteriously stopped.
However there is a process DMFRCP.exe running if I view in task
manager. Can you use iinamu to re-register the process to the running
installation, or is it simply a case of restarting Ingres?

I was told by CA that this version was far more stable than 0206 (I
think) which we were previously using. However since switching to a
brand new box with this newer version we've had more problems than
before!

Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Thanks,

Christian

Other than IVM playing up I don't think you've got a problem. If your
RCP had really stopped then you'd know because the rest of Ingres
would have crashed. I actually did a lot of testing on this because it
had apparently happened to a customer and I wasn't able to kill the
RCP without the other DBMSs dying immediately - which is what I'd
expect.

If you run "show iusvr" in iinamu you should see whether the RCP is
still registered with the name server - which I would guess it is. I'm
not sure what IVM does exactly but to be honest I've always found it's
indicators of what's running a bit flaky. It seems to be fixed in r3 -
I don't seem to have had a problem with it in that version.

Unless it's really important to you I wouldn't restart ingres just to
get IVM working. But then it depends how much disruption a restart
would cause.

2.6/0305 may not be more stable in the short term but it is the
supported version going forward. Any fixes you need for any other
problems would get you upgraded to that level anyway.

Ignore it. IVM is lying to you. It does that. If dmfrcp really died the
whole installation would die pretty much instantly.
