We should have a mechanism a checked-grayed box for inherited rights.

It could also be a "show inherited rights" icon like in member tab for a group.

221815 7.5.0.715

BUG when creating repository tables. No confirmation message to say "Finished creating tables."

I know that this is not a major issue, but from the customer's perspective, they need to know when a PowerDesigner process has completed.

224873 7.5.0.739

During consolidation of large models, PD shell stops responding to Windows (doesn't update display, etc). Need more than just "Saving the local document in the repository..."

1) Import model into PD7 and save it

2) Then consolidate that model into your favorite repository.

3) When it gives you the "Saving the local document..." message, launch the TaskManager and check out the PowerDesigner program.

NOTE: It will be listed as "Not responding".

4) If you have another application open, move its window around in front of the PD GUI.

Notice that it doesn't refresh the display. This is not good.

It takes a long time (anything over a minute or so is too long, but I'm talking 30 minutes and longer here) before it will update the GUI.

What I want to see is more GUI refreshes and some kind of status update in the message window, like what happens when I Reverse Engineer a database. The old MetaWorks gave me more information than this when it was working. Just giving me an hourglass is not acceptable

224982 7.5.0.739

When creating the repository dictionary on DB2, there is no way to specify Create Table options that are allowed in DB2. Also, there is no way to obtain a copy of the DDL script for modification before the repository is created.
In PD6, there was a SHOW option in MetaWorks too provide access to the Dictionary creation script.

This functionality needs to added back into PowerDesigner 7.5.x.

225082 7.5.0.739

In the PowerDesigner Repository Users Guide Part 1 "Using the Repository" chapter 7 topic "Understanding consolidation conflicts," there is a paragraph that reads as follows:

Updating PowerDesigner models

When you update PowerDesigner models, the merge dialog box
displays differences between models and lets you define merge actions.
In the merge dialog box, the local model is the source model displayed
in the right pane, and the repository model is the target model that will
be modified in the left pane of the merge dialog box.

Where it says that "the local model is the source model displayed in the right pane, and the repository model is the target model that will be modified in the left pane of the merge dialog box" THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE, THE TARGET MODEL WILL ALWAYS BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND THE SOURCE ON THE LEFT. [Passing along customer's upper-case emphasis there, that comes from confusion we had working with the Merge dialog in the Betas.]

The doc is wrong and needs to be updated because Source-Target is potentially confusing.

225090 7.5.0.781

BUG in Repository Extract, Select Packages dialog box. The list of packages is NOT SORTED. With over 125 in a model, this doesn't work well. Also EXTREMELY SLOW getting just one package.

Allow the user to build folders by reading a directory and then to consolidate that into the repository, or go the other way.

We have all of our models organized into a fairly complex directory structure on a network server. I want to duplicate the hierarchy of the directories directly in PD. Then I want to duplicate that into the repository. Now, when I extract something from the repository, it should default to the correct folder in the workspace, and from the workspace it should automatically save to the proper directory on the server. This should be a General Option like "Keep all folders in sync".

228859 Upgrading Repository from 7.5.x to 8.0.132, the output window displays a line for each object in the repository, at least once. Actually, it displays the SQL statement for every command issued in upgrading the repository database.

It would be nice to send that SQL stream to a text LOG file, maybe put messages in the output window such as "Updating PMREFR table..." (one per table) or something to that effect. At the end, put a note that says "The entire SQL stream can be found in the file C:\Program Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner 8\RepositoryUpgrade.LOG" or something like that.

NOTE: The displaying of all of those statements (and I had thousands upon thousands) actually slows down the process significantly. Logging them to a text file could actually make it run faster.

231367 **** Fri Jan 12 17:44:51 EST 2001 *** ahill **** build 172

Please provide the user with some guidelines as to how large to make the repository database (at least for starters). There could be recommendations for a small, medium, and large model. And all the disclaimers can still be documented.

232516 **** Fri Jan 26 14:46:43 EST 2001 *** ahill **** Build 184

Consolidation of a model into the repsoitory takes a significant time if number of entities is large (> 100). It would be very helpful to see a progress bar showing % of consolidation completed.

234493 **** Mon Feb 26 11:50:01 EST 2001 *** ahill **** build 203

When you look at attributes of an entity in the Repository tree view, they all appear as "Entity Attribute" and their property sheets have Name and Code blank. The tree view should show the Name of the attribute, and the property sheet should have the Name and Code value for the attribute.

To Reporoduce (I used Sybase ASE 12.0 on NT for the Repository and build 203 on NT for PD8):

[ 1] Open PD8 Examples\project.cdm and consolidate into Repository.
[ 2] Tools -> General Options -> Repository check on "Show objects" in Browser group if not on already.
[ 3] In Repository Object Browser, expand model node and Entiities node under that. Node entries are shown for the entities in the model.
[ 4] Pick one -- for example, CUSTOMER and open its node. Open the attributes node under that. For CUSTOMER, there are six items in the tree list that say "Entity Attribute" -- these should show the attribute name.
[ 5] Open the property sheet for these items. They all have the Name and Code fields blank. They should contain the correct values for the Name and Code of the attribute.

234495 **** Mon Feb 26 12:00:18 EST 2001 *** ahill **** build 203

There is no icon to open the property sheet of the parent object as you can do when you are in a CDM, PDM or OOM. The Property sheets for shortcuts in the Repository are not connected to the parent objects. For example on a shortcut entity, you cannot get the property sheet of the parent object. You cannot see its data item attributes, and the identification of the object's parent model and package is not clear. This functionality should be added.

Also, the General tab has a field called Location that has a value "Project management" -- the model name, telling you that this shortcut is in the model level of information. On the Attributes tab, there is a line entry also called Location that says "\CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT" -- reflecting the package where the entity resides. This is a little confusing. In the property sheet for shortcuts in the workspace, these fields are called "Target model" and "Target package" which is clearer.

Repro:
[ 1] Open PD8 Examples\project.cdm and convert the two submodel diagrams to packages.
[ 2] Consolidate into Repository (I used Sybase ASE 12.0 on NT, with Build 203 of PD8).
[ 3] Make sure "Show objects" is turned on in Tools -> General Options -> Repository -> Browser groupbox. Look at the tree view of the Repository Object Browser and see the shortcuts for entities at the model (top) level. Open the property sheet for one, for example, CUSTOMER.
[ 4] See that there is no way to get at information about the parent object.

258912 **** Mon Sep 10 13:12:05 EDT 2001 *** ahill **** build 373 & 8.0.1.275

The problem appears to only occur when composite primary keys are being used and the first column of the primary key has a distinct value less than 100%.

To reproduce:
1) Create a new PDM
2) Create two tables
3) In table_1, add two columns and make them both part of the primary key.
4) Change the Distinct Values to 40% on the first column of primary key (column_1)
5) In table_2, add two columns and make them both part of the primary key.
6) Change the Distinct Values to 40% on the second column of primary key (column_2)
7) Consolidate the PDM (Note: Do not allow the extraction of the PDM)
8) Compare the PDM in the repository with the PDM in the workspace.
Note: In table_1, the distinct value percentage of column_1 has been changed to 100% in the repository.

264254 Within PowerDesigner various SQL errors are not visible to the end user. This could be possible for all actions (consolidation, create/modify/delete branch,/config etc...).
265511 **** Mon Nov 19 17:23:56 EST 2001 *** ahill **** build 436

Enhancement Request: In the Merge window pane (upon consolidation): you must uncheck each specific Sybmol's checkbox, this could take alot of effort... Somehow offer the user the ability to be able to "DESELECT ALL SYMBOLS" for each diagram. And then go to a specific diagram and select all the sybmols within that Branch. Or have a Select All/Unselect all symbol objects in the Symbols branch. But, it would be nicer to be able to go to a diagram node under symbols and be able to select all/de-select all the symbol nodes in a specific diagram.

To reproduce the behavior:

a) User1 extracts the current version of the model to their workspace.
b) User2 extracts the current version of the model to their workspace.
c) User1 changes the fill color of entity1 symbol on diagram1 from white to blue.
d) User2 changes the fill color of entity2 symbol on diagram2 from white to red.
e) User1 consolidates their workspace to the repository. The repository recommends (by prefilling in the check box) that the local change for entity1 be applied. The extracted model reflects the new color of blue for entity1. Entity2 is (still) white.
f1) User2 consolidates their workspace to the repository. The repository recommends (by prefilling in the check box)that the local copy for entity2 be applied. The extracted model reflects the new color of blue for entity1.
f2) BUT the repository also recommends (by prefilling in the check box)that the local copy of entity1 be applied - even though user2 has never made any change to diagram1 or entity1. The extracted model reflects the old color of white for entity1.

Per Product Development:

In PD 8.x, currently, the changes to symbol's attributes (fill color, line style, background color, font style, font style etc...) are not updated by a modification date in the Version info tab on that object. The Modification Date only concerns the object itself (adding/deleting a column, change a data type, add in description, comments etc..). So merge during the consolidation does not know when the change has been done on the symbol and cannot propose a correct check box. So when you make a change on the symbol, merge proposes a default checked check box but it can be turned on to be the wrong result. The best way to solve this issue would be to manage a modification date on all symbols. Although, it will be memory consuming...

265915 When you modify Database properties in a PDM Name, comments ..., nothing is updated in the repository

Repository Database : Informix 8 and 9

I reproduced on Informix 9 and ASA 7

======================================================

Steps to reproduce

- new pdm - 1 table

- consolidate and extract

- modify the PDM like that

Models --> Modeles properties --> Database --> New

add few properties : Database name, Comments, notes

- consolidate with update

- extract again, all Database properties still like before nothing has been updated.

Reproduced with PD 7.5, 8.01 build 289 and 9 build 437

Repository : ASA 7

Error message:

" Unexpected error while executing the following action:

After modify a view in a pdm by adding a new alias or adding a column from a new table and then consolidating the model using update, results in an error:

268679 **** Thu Dec 20 16:27:38 EST 2001 *** ahill **** 9.0.0.438 & 8.0.1.292

There is no way to update the repository with a change made to the order of an object, send backwards or bring forwards. If this change is made, consolidating the model does not show any differences. If an object is modified so that the consolidation occurs, the change in object order is not updated to the repository.

Steps to repro;

1) create a new CDM
2) create 2 entities (entity_1 & entity_2)
3) position the symbols in such a way that entity_2 is overlapping entity_1 in a cascading fashion
4) consolidate the model (I used Oracle 8.1.7 rep using Merant 3.70 ODBC) using all the default settings
5) extract the model (do not update model in workspace, create a new model). You now have two models in your workspace with the same name
6) right-click on entity_1 >Order>Bring to front. Now it wil be overlapping entity_2. If you try to consolidate it at this point, no consolidation will occur becuase PD shows no differences between the local copy and the repository copy.
6a) You will need to make some other type of change to get the consolidation to complete. I changed entity_1's name & code to entity_10.
7) consolidate the model using all the default settings (update)
8) Extract the model and again do not update the workspace model. This will create a 3rd model in the workspace all having the same name.

NOTE:The name & code change remains intact however entity_2 is now in front of entity_10. The change made to the symbol was not recorded in the repository. PD is ignoring the object "order" information.

271770 "Repository User's Guide>Ch.5>Using Folders in the Repository" needs to explain the naming of new folders better.

One of the bullets in this section states the following:

The Name of the folder. This name must be unique in a hierarchy of folders.

However, when actually naming the folders, the name must only be unique at each level of a hierarchy. For example, I can create a hierarchy of folder_1>folder_1>folder_1. (This makes the above bullet incorrect.) However, if I try to create a second folder_1 at the root level, I will receive a message stating that this name already exists.

A suggested description could be ....

The Name of the folder. This name must be unique at each level in a hierarchy of folders.
The title of the CR should read....
Please clarify the Using Folders section of the repository documentation.

272284 Customer has consolidated a PDM. On the Attributes tab of a stored procedure, the customer is trying to review the text of the stored procedure. This is very difficult to do because the entire procedure text is written on one line. The customer would like the ability to open an expanded view to see the entire text of the stored procedure.

background information:

User is trying to perform a visual comparison between a consolidated procedure and one in the local model. Based on this comparison, they would then like to copy sections of the consolidate procedure and paste them into the local procedure. (The way to accomplish the customer's comparison issue is to compare the two models, but the customer does not prefer the option.)

278643 In the browser in the repository only the latest version is displayed. Customer wants to see all the versions in a tree view structure without right clicking on the name and then on versions tab.
279936 The Replication Server installation script 'rs_install_systables.sql'

('rsinssys.sql' on Windows NT) contains the non-localized date value

'Jan 1, 4000' (and is used to represent a maximum date value). When the

ASE hosting the RSSD is using a non-English default language such as

Chinese, the date value is considered an illegal value and prevents the

proper initialization of the RSSD. To work around this issue, edit the

installation script and replace 'Jan 1, 4000' with '01/01/4000'.

286066 When attempting to replicate 'unichar' and 'univarchar' values which are

greater than 127 unichars (or 254 bytes) in length, the Replication

Server terminates with the following messages in the error log followed

by a stack trace:

N. 2002/05/22 15:08:19. INTERNAL ERROR #20020 DSI EXEC(103(1)

PDS.pubs2_rep) - (7958) The packer failed to pack a command.

Severity 1 -- 'cs_convert: cslib user api layer: common library

To work around this issue, limit the length of a 'unichar' or

'univarchar' column to 127 unichars (or 254 bytes).

286584 Preparing to upgrade servers with

replicated databases

dbcc gettrunc can return two different column headings. One is ltm_trunc_state, as the doc mentions, and the other is secondary trunc state. If the value is 1 under either heading, then replication is enabled for that database.

Regarding subscriptions, the paragraph is confusing. Using the check subscription is a good idea for checking for "valid" subscriptions. Explaining about "create subscription" is confusing.

In the bold note in the first part of this section, we state that it is NOT sufficient to have data in the inbound queue of Replication Server. Yet, if the customer follows the instructions in this order, suspending the DSI connections before ensuring the transaction logs have been drained will put data in the inbound queue. The section for suspending the DSI connections should be after the section on draining the transaction logs.

Also, formatting wise, some of the 2>go commands appear on the same line as >1

Status: Reviewed Sep 2002. Fix targeted (but not commited) for the 12.6 release.

286778 The RepAgent was not have replicating stored procedure calls, if the procedures were executed by triggers. Procedures called by triggers are now replicated.
286934 Missing parameters in stored procedure rsm_where_list causes Replication Server Plug-In to suspend indefinitely when adding a 12.0 or 12.1 Replication Server.
287170 If the Replication Server and the replicate ASE are both configured with

differing character sets, the Replication Server relies on the replicate

ASE to perform the necessary character set conversion on the replicate

data.

If the replicate ASE is configured to always use Unilib character set

conversion (the 'enable unicode conversion' configuration value is set

to '2') but configured with an insufficient 'size of unilib cache'

value, the ASE will issue the following warning and will not perform any

subsequent character set conversion.

Msg 2420, Level 17, State 1: Unable to load Unicode-based

character set conversion table 'sjis' - Unicode conversion cache

is full. Please notify your system administrator to add mode

unicode buffers.

The Replication Server ignores this ASE warning message, which results

in replicate data not undergoing the proper character set conversion.

To work around this issue, configure the ASE with a larger 'size of

unilib cache' configuration value. Validate that the new configuration

value is sufficient by confirming that the above-mentioned error message

does not appear when contacting the ASE using the 'isql'. Be sure to

invoke 'isql' with the appropriate '-J<charset>' parameters so that

'isql' uses the same character set as the Replication Server.

287415 TITLE: The Installer will not install critical files if the user choses

"No to All" when the Installer asks about installing over existing

files.

If the Installer attempts to install a new file over an existing file,

the Installer will ask the user how to handle the conflict. If the user

choses "No to All", critical files will not get installed.

When the user attempts to start 'rs_init', 'rs_init' will terminate with

the a message similar to the following:

INTERNAL ERROR: Unable to load messages for product 'rs' using

language 'english' and character set 'cp850: could not locate

the localization file

'c:\sybase\locales\english\cp850\sybinit\rs.loc'.

To avoid this issue, install the Replication Server in a separate

directory.

287775 TITLE: The Replication Server will not start if installed in the same

directory as an older version of the Replication Server

If the Replication Server is installed in the same directory as an older

version of the Replication Server, critical files (e.g. 'libunic.dll')

will not be updated.

Without these updated critical files, the Replication Server will fail

to start and issue a message similar to the following:

Cannot find Procedure entry point unisort_DataCompare in Dynamic

link library libunic.dll.

To avoid this issue, install the Replication Server in a separate

directory from other existing Sybase products.

Additionally, it may be necessary to update the 'libunic.dll' file

manually.

To do this, copy the file ...

%SYBASE%\SYSDLL\WindowsNT\WinNT\system32\libunic.dll

... to the following location ...

%SYBASE%\REP-12_5\bin\libunic.dll

If this does not resolve the issue, copy the file ...

%SYBASE%\SYSDLL\WindowsNT\WinNT\system32\libunic.dll

... to the following location ...

%SystemRoot%\system32\libunic.dll

288460 INFORMIX ONLY: Transaction ids are sometimes

negative. To fix this required changing the

schema of the XLog.

If you are creating an XLog, the new schema

will be used.

If you have an existing XLog with the new

schema (12.1.0.xxx where xxx >= 215 or

12.5.0.yyy where yyy >= 302), you need do

nothing special.

If you have an existing XLog without the new

schema (12.0 or 12.1.0.xxx where xxx < 215 or

12.5.0.yyy where yyy < 302), you must do the

following to migrate the schema:

1 - login to the RepAgent and verify that

scripts run automatically:

ra_config pdb_auto_run_scripts, true

3 - shut down the RepAgent and apply this EBF

3 - start the RepAgent in ADMIN mode

4 - lock the primary database to prevent the

marked primary tables and/or the marked primary

procedures from calling the ra_get_tx_info_

procedure

6 - at the RepAgent login, issue the pdb_xlog

command with no parameters

7 - unlock the primary database

8 - resume replication

The migration adds the ra_txid_seq_ table that

maps Informix transaction-id-related

information into a sequence number,

drops/re-creates the ra_get_tx_info_ procedure

to use the new table, and increments the

database generation id. Some additional

housekeeping entries are added to the

ra_xlog_system_ table, and, for Informix 7, the

tran-id rollover procedure (ra_txid_rollover_)

is created.

This new schema uses the following global

variables:

ra_begstamp_ (new)

ra_connected_ (new)

ra_opid_hi_

ra_opid_lo_

ra_pid_ (new)

ra_tstamp_

ra_txid_

ra_txid_hi_ (new)

ra_txid_lo_ (new)

Note that this fix does NOT migrate an XLog

created on Informix 7 to the appropriate schema

for Informix 9.

289054 ORACLE ONLY: Oracle JDBC driver 9.2.0.1.0

causes a ClassCastException. This fix changes

the schema of the XLog and requires migrating

the XLog (see below). This fix also certifies

RepAgent 12.5 against Oracle 9.2, and supports

the Oracle TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended that you use

the Oracle 9.2 JDBC driver against Oracle 8i

because it causes the loss of time precision

from DATE columns in the XLog tables. Instead,

for Oracle 8i, use the Oracle 9.0 JDBC driver.

The following drivers have been certified:

for Oracle 8i, use

9.0.1.4 JDBC thin driver for

JDK 1.2 & 1.3 (classes12.zip)

for Oracle 9i (optionally for 8i), use

9.2.0.5 JDBC thin driver for

JDK 1.2 & 1.3 (classes12.zip)

MIGRATING the XLog:

If you are creating an XLog, the new schema

will be used.

If you have an existing XLog, you must do the

following to migrate the schema:

1 - login to the RepAgent and verify that

scripts run automatically:

ra_config pdb_auto_run_scripts, true

2 - shut down the RepAgent and apply this EBF

3 - if replicating out of Oracle 9i, upgrade

your JDBC driver to 9.2.0.5

4 - start the RepAgent in ADMIN mode

5 - login to the RepAgent and issue the

pdb_xlog command with no parameters

When the command returns successfully,

migration will have been completed and you may

resume replication.

Note that, regardless of how many fixes in this

release require migration, you need migrate a

given RepAgent instance only once.

293128 The ASA Replication Agent, DBLTM, was not able to replicate tables with BLOB columns that were not included in the replication definition. For replication of tables that contained BLOB columns, DBLTM would send RepServer the LTL of rs_datarow_for_writetext to describe the details of the BLOB columns. But if the BLOB columns were not defined in the replication definition, RepServer could complain "Function 'rs_datarow_for_writetext' is not defined for table 'table_name'" and then shut down the DSI thread. This problem is fixed.

295891 After upgrading from PD 9.0 to 9.5, extracting, modifying and then consolidating a PDM fails to consolidate. This problem only happens when the PDM is already in the repository when the upgrade is done.

Version: PD 9.5 DBMS is Oracle 8i2, DB2 and ASA8 (This has been reproduce on each DBMS)

Steps to reproduce:

1. In PD 9.0 consolidate a PDM into the repository. (I used project.pdm)

2. Upgrade to PD 9.5 (using the web download)

3. Connect to the repository and run the update tables script. (connecting with ADMIN and DBA rights)

4. Extract the PDM model in the repository into PD 9.5

5. Make a change and consolidate it. (I changed the data type of a domain and added a table)

6. The following error message will occur:

Unexpected error while executing the following action:

297680 Customer has many tables in a database. Some are uni-directional and some are bi-directional. Customer would like an easier way to override default action on individual tables since function strings work on entire databases.

For example, as an extension to autocorrection, per a replication definition, eliminate the command rather than delete/insert the update.

297742 Provide an easy mechanism (e.g. maintenance user id, sessions setting, etc.) that would allow a customer to make massive change to the active database without it replicating to the standby database.

This fix changes the schema of the XLog and

requires migrating the XLog.

MIGRATING the XLog:

If you are creating an XLog, the new schema

will be used.

If you have an existing XLog, you must do the

following to migrate the schema:

1 - login to the RepAgent and verify that

scripts run automatically:

ra_config pdb_auto_run_scripts, true

2 - shut down the RepAgent and apply this EBF

3 - start the RepAgent in ADMIN mode

4 - login to the RepAgent and issue the

pdb_xlog command with no parameters

When the command returns successfully,

migration will have been completed and you may

resume replication.

Note that, regardless of how many fixes in this

release require migration, you need migrate a

given RepAgent instance only once.

''SET IDENTITY_INSERT' is ON for table '<table>'.

The Replication Server DSI will stop when encountering this

informational message because, by default, 12.5 Replication Server (as

well as earlier versions) does not define an error action for this new

informational message. If no error action is defined for any message,

informational or otherwise, the default action for the Replication

This is also problem for any/all reserved words replicated by RS: insert, update, delete... Not just 'create table'

304315 Default behavior of warmstandby is to use all columns of table to generate
where clause. This is bad if timestamp is one of those columns. In that case, because timestamp value different at standby database than active, where clause for update and delete commands fail to effect any rows.

Workaround is to create repdef for standby table do not include timestamp as part of primary key set

308506 Customer migrated from 9.5.0.660 to 9.5.1. The customer extracts a PDM and then consolidates the model back into the repository. The consolidation fails with the following error

"Changing relative position of object table 'data_source'

linked to physical diagram"

Upon investigation in the merge screen, this table and a few others are being added to the 'symbols' section of the model. All the metadata properties, name, column,etc... is listed under symbols. This should not be possible.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Make a connection to the repository I have created on conlabtt using the customers repository dump or restore dump from attached zip.

2. Repository login is xxxx and database info is Username: xxxx, password: xxxx

3. Extract the model PDM_MPVAR_test.pdm

4. Consolidate(update) it.

The following is the error message you will get:

308861 When extracting a file from the repository, the "Save as Type" selection of the "Save As" window should be the same as the "File\Save As' window. Currently, the "Save as Type" will always default to 'XML'.

Note: The file does extract to the appropriate file type as specified in CR 216181.

To reproduce:

1) open project.pdm

2) select File\Save As and save as project2.pdm (binary file type)

3) select File\Save As a second time and note that binary is now the default type

4) consolidate project2.pdm

5) in the repository browser, right click on project2 and select extract

6) open the "save as" window

Note: The default file type is xml. It should be binary based upon the changes made in cr 216181.

From these messages it appears that a client appliction is attempting to connect to a RepServer that is in the middle of starting up. The attempt must have timed out, thus the return code of 8 from srv_lockmutex() - "attention received while waiting for lock". But as a result, RepServer's exception handler, assuming that the lock is held and needs to be released, tries to unlock it. This causes a chain of events that ultimately crash RepServer.

While notification of the failed login attempt needs to be retained, RepServer should not crash in these situations.

309281 Second consolidation with update of pdm with views : error message

Unexpected error while executing the following action:

Changing value of attribute Creation Date of object View Column

The consolidation of the document has been canceled.

309402 Customer is upgrading from 9.0.0 to 9.5.1. When they attempt to upgrade the repository with anuser with administration rights, they get the following error message: The repository does not contain all of the required definitions. Only an admnistrator can update it.

The repository is installed on ASE 12.5

In PD 9.0.0, the repository users were added without passwords. When upgrading to PD 9.5.1, the repository upgrade fails.

If the user has a password in PD 9.0.0, then the repository upgrade will complete.

This appears to an issue with ASE only. When I followed the same steps with ASA8, the repository upgraded for each scenario.

To reproduce:

In PD 9.0

1) Create a repository with ASE as the DBMS

2) Add two users and assign administrator rights to both

user: sa password: <blank>

user:sapass password: sql

3) Close PD 9.0

In PD 9.5.1

4) Connect to the repository with user 'sa'

Note: you will receive the error messages previously mentioned

5) Connect to the repository with user 'sapass'

Note: the upgrade process proceeds as expected.

309418 The customer has a pdm in the repository that contains references with incomplete join criteria. (This was introduce in CR 309417.) Within the PDM is a view. The model is corrected and then consolidated again in update mode. This consolidation ends with the following error message:

Unexpected error while executing the following action:

Changing value of attribute Creation Date of object View Column

The consolidation of the document has been canceled.

To reproduce:

1) Consolidate model CID1.PDM. Have the extract after consolidation check box checked.

2) Open CID2.PDM and merge into CID1.PDM. Select all merge actions.

3) Consolidate(update) CID1. PDM again. Have the extract after consolidation check box checked.

4) Close and detach CID2 from the workspace.

5) Open CID3.PDM and merge into CID1.PDM. Select all merge actions and manually synchronize the diagrams, CORPORATE_DATABASE with M_CID_DB. The process succeeds but has three errors with incomplete joins (reported on CR 309417)

6) Consolidate CID1 in update mode.

7) Close and detach CID3 from the workspace.

8) Open CID31 and merge into CID1. Select all merge actions.

Note: This merge corrects the join criteria for the references in step 5

9) Consolidate CID1.

10)In the merge dialog box, Select all merge actions

Note: That the view object may be included eventhough it has not been modified. Also, if it is present, check the query information. I have been receiving two entries where one contains GUID information.

312086 The internal Commit Control feature issues a query against the Replicate database to determine if the executing thread is holding any locks required by any other threads.

The function string is:

When there are conflicts, this query should return the number of threads that have outstanding (INTENT) requests for locks held by the thread.

However, when isolationlevel_3 is used, it appears the (INTENT) requirements are not displayed in the master..syslocks table.

313824 Updating a blob column of a replicating table with a blob that was greater than 3000 bytes in the primary database would have caused a RepServer warning; "DSI encountered an error when processing an rs_writetext command for object ... This rs_writetext command is marked as the first chunk for the column. However, there is already a previous rs_writetext command marked as the first chunk.". Then RepServer would shutdown the DSI thread. This is now fixed.
313970 PD 9.5.1 ebf 1 : broken

PD 9.5.2 build 856 : fixed

Consolidation with update does not preserve an operation associated to a message inside a sequence diagram when Actor and object are shortcuts.

314734 Regression BUG:(seeCR# 234493) Repository browser displays entity attributes with a name of "Entity Attribute", if you double click the entity attribute, in the Repository Object Properties window the NAME/CODE fields are empty. Note: The first attribute of each entity displays correctly, but all subsequent attributes display the described behavior.

This is reproducable only when repository tables reside on a Ms Sql Server 2000 database.

NOTE: I cannot reproduce on Sybase ASE 12.5, ASA 7.0.x, ASA8.0.x or Oracle 8.1.7 dbms...

Tested using either of the following ODBC drivers:

Microsoft Sql Server v. 2000.81.9001.00 SQLSRV32.dll 2/19/2002

PB DataDirect OEM 4.10 32-BIT Sql Server Wire Protocol v. 4.10.00.00 PBMSSS18.dll 2/15/2002

PB DataDirect OEM 4.10 32-BIT Sql Server v. 4.10.00.00 PBSS618.dll 2/15/2002

To reproduce:

1. Consolidate (no auto extract) the sample "project.cdm" file to a Ms Sql Server 2000 database.

2. In Repository browser, select the Entity folder > select a specified entity and expand it's tree. You will see entity attributes listed as "Entity Attribute" and not it's given name.

3. Double click a entity attribute that is displayed as "Entity Attribute" to get it's properties window. You will see it's Name and Code entries are empty.

NOTE: it appears to only be a display issue in the Repository. Because, when you extract the model and view it in the workspace window, the list of entity attributes are displayed and listed correctly.

314822 A new feature is required to support SonicMQ JMS.
314831 Feature Request:

Option to only replicate DDL and not DML for WarmStandby.

something like...

sp_reptostandby <PDB>, 'DDL only'

or have sp_setreptable 'false' prevent tables from replicating

315325 Feature Request to add ASA function strings to the $SYBASE/REP-12_5/scripts dir

Specifically add ASA custom function string rs_triggers_reset to allow set triggers off option. Default rs_function_string_class rs_triggers_reset does not work for ASA.

315874 Extraction of a logical data model, LDM, with the "extract dependencies" option selected takes 1 to 2 hours to complete. However, when the "extract dependencies" option is deselected, it takes less then 1 minute to extract the LDM.

When this option is set, the PC using 100% of the CPU and performance is affected on the server where other application cannot access other dbms on same server.

The customer has installed the repository on ASA 9 and ASE 12.5 with the same results.

PSE has tested on ASA 8 with the same results.

To reproduce:

1) Consolidate the customer's models into a repository.

The models inlcude a LDM which was then used to generate three PDMs with different target DBMS. The files are 2.8, 4.3, 4.8, and 5.3 MB in size.

2) Extract the LDM, 2.8 MB, it takes 47 seconds.

3) Extract the same model, LDM, and select the 'extract dependencies' option.

Note: It takes about one hour to extract the model

315888 The administrator GUI is now Section 508 compliant

as much as JRE 1.2.2 supports.

316074 Feature Request to allow the "IN" operand with the subscription where clause
316078 rs_helpsub incorrectly displays the where clause info with multiple replication
definitions.

The where clause colname is not listed by rs_helpsub

316367 Running rs_subcmp gets a lot of warnings like

"WARNING: unexpected result (2) from comparing two previously inconsistent rows.

[c/subcmp.c(1792)]"

when comparing univarbinary/univarchar datatypes.

316674 Numerous messages like the following are no

longer logged in the system.log because they

are (trace) informational only and fill up the

log unnecessarily:

E. 2003/04/15 14:55:12.64.

Attempt to retrieve column precision for

column of SQLType <2004> failed.

<NumberFormatException> thrown by JDBC

Driver. Precision being set to 0.

317794 The customer has consolidated and extracted a PDM model. In Model Properties, they add a comment and text to the description. When they consolidate the PDm in update mode, the consolidation fails with the following message:

Unexpected error while executing the following action:

Changing value of attribute Creation Date of object Shortcut of Column 'ENTY_PRFL_ID'

319343 ORACLE ONLY: Update using empty_blob() or

empty_clob() does not replicate.

319513 The JMS message containging RepEvents must be consistent even though there is no

listening client activated. The parameter setup for message persistency is needed before

sending out the JMS messages to the assigned JMS server that doesn't implement the

default persistency of J2EE standard.

319552 Today, we have the following permissions for models in repository:

Full, Write, Read and List.

Customers would like to have a new option to Visualize or Not the model in the future, without dropping the User Group for that model.

Today, it's possible to disallow some user to visualize a model by dropping his user group (PUBLIC (All Users), for example) from that model, only.

319603 Feature Request to allow creating multiple function replication

definitions per replicated stored procedure.

FOR EXAMPLE:

create function replication definition <name>

with primary at <dsname>.<dbname>

with all procedures named <sproc name>

"with all procedures named" would allow function definition name

to be different than the procedure name. Therefor, you would then

be able to create more than one function replication definition

for that one replicated stored procedure.

Currently, the function definition name must be the same as the

pdb.procedure name... and customers must create multiple procedures,

each with their own function replication definition.

321284 RA DB2 stops replicating on SMO data sharing systems
321474 The documentation states that to create or modify a folder, the user must have 'write' permission on the root/parent folder. However, this does not currently work. With this permission, the repository user is unable to add or modify the existing folder.
321484 The addition of Replication Server SMP functionality introduced new Replication Server parameters for Replication Server Manager (RSM) to monitor and update. For all RSM executables delivered after the introduction of SMP Replication Server(including EBF updates), RSM requires its sql scripts (rsmxxxx.sql) to be revision 2 scripts.

326087 Add 'reorg rebuild' transac-SQL command to list of supported commands and system procedures replicated by sp_reptostandby. Allow replication of the 'reorg rebuild' command to the standby database.
326094 This info builds on the CustDesc of CR #318566.

If you want the repdefs generated by RepAgent to use the heterogeneous datatype definitions defined in RepServer, set the lti_use_hdds parameter to true before either issuing the lti_gen_repdefs command or before resuming replication (this last assumes that you have already set lti_auto_gen_repdefs to true).

329897 Customer is requesting that we add a feature into the Repository Browser where the user can have the ability to move models and/or folders containing models to other folders in repository.
330306 If you have a primary Replication Server version 12.0 or 12.1 that you plan to upgrade to version 12.6 and you have a replicated Replication Server already upgraded to version 12.6, use route_upgrade in the Replication Server Manager instead of the rs_fast_route_upgrade stored procedure to upgrade the related route to the replicated Replication Server.

A route version should reflect the lower value between the site version of your primary Replication Server and the site version of your replicated Replication Server. For example, if the site version of your primary Replication Server is 12.1 and the site version of your replicated Replication Server is 12.0, the route version should be 12.0.

However, the version of rs_fast_route_upgrade provided in Replication Server version 12.1 and earlier erroneously sets the route version to the higher value. For this reason, the earlier version of rs_fast_route_upgrade automatically upgrades the route version to 1260 even if your primary Replication Server has not yet been upgraded to version 12.6.

If this applies to your replication system and you are upgrading to Replication Server version 12.6, the upgrade script stops and tells you to fix the route version before upgrading to version 12.6.

330434 Bind of plan fails for DB2 V 6.
330453 Memory_limit value greater than 2048MB does not allow RS to boot up. Also, memory message in RS log shows negative value.

The Sybase Log Extract (called only from 12.6 if LogExtractor=LTMEXT) does not return the proper return code when it detects the load libraries are not authorized (Authorization Program Facility or APF), it returns a pointer to the return code instead of the value 8.

332029 ORACLE ONLY: RepAgent does not recognize the

"AS" keyword in a stored procedure, only the

"IS" keyword.

332068 When ASE plug-in is used to issue a DDL, ASE plug-in will use fully

qualified identifier in DDL. If MSA is used to replicate this DDL and

the replicate DB does not have the same name as the primary DB, MSA

will not be able to apply the DDL and DSI will be suspended.

332319 Description: RepConnector running in the EAServer cannot connect to the JMS queue configured in the WebLogic server. EAServer's components cannot call the WebLogic's JNDI client for some error from WebLogic.
333894 The old client is repserver 12.5 or earlier version. The table schema is:

create table datetime

(row_num int,

datecol date,

timecol time,

ndatecol date null,

ntimecol time null,

comment varchar(50) null)

When repserver tries to query from the table at de-materialization, repserver gets the following error message:

Message from server: Message: 247, State 2, Severity 16 -- 'Arithmetic overflow during implicit conversion of DATE value 'Jul 7 *''*' to a DATETIME field .

Workaround solution is to drop subscription without purge then manutally purge the replicate table.

333918 Feature request to provide Uninstaller to remove Sybase service from the Windows registry
333932 While upgrading to Replication Server 12.6 using rs_init, make sure that RSSD has atleast 10 MB of space. Lack of space in RSSD can cause the upgrade to fail.
334216 When displaying "where clause" data, RSM C++/Client and Server convert and display the binary data stored by repserver depending on the data type. When using the ASA-based Embedded RSSD feature of replication server, the conversion is incorrect for the following datatypes: date, time, and numeric/decimal.

When using the traditional ASE RSSD, these conversions are processed and displayed correctly.

334540 INFORMIX ONLY: When marking and the RepAgent

property pdb_convert_datetime is true, then a

DATETIME field may not get converted to Sybase

format correctly.

335243 Can not integrate an existing model in another one

You'll get the error message:

There is already a model that has the name ... in the folder ...

PD uses the old foldername and it is not possible the foldername for Integrate.

335296 Customer would like a method, that generates just RAO trigger logic (not logic that is merged with other trigger code).
335632 Owner qualified tablenames can be used.
335781 When Use_repdefs = Y, Minimal_cols must also be set to Y.
335801 In extracted CDM/PDM pair, the target model(s) referenced have been changed. When the models are consolidated in update mode, the changei reflected in the merge window, but the change is not updated in the repository.

This may be related to Cr 295333

To reproduce:

1) Consolidate customer's models, cdm_shrtct1.cdm, ProMan_target1.cdm, and pdm_shrtct1.pdm, without extraction

2) Extract customer files to a different folder, repos, or as a different file name

3) For the repos\cdm_shrtct1.cdm, select Target Model and change the files to those extracted to the repos folder, repos\ProMan_target1.cdm, and repos\pdm_shrtct1.pdm, and save the model

4) For repos\pdm_shrtct1.pdm, select Target Model and change the file to the one extracted to the repos folder, repos\cdm_shrtct1.cdm, and save the model

5) Consolidate repos\cdm_shrtct1.cdm and repos\pdm_shrtct1.pdm (update mode, freeze version, and no extraction.) Select all actions.

6) In the Repository Browser, select Target model for either document

Note: Both remain at version 1 and they reference the orginal target model(s)

336683 RSM 12.1 stacks with netp_process_request_thread.
336875 The "Switch Active" and "Abort Switch" commands do not appear on the logical connection menu under the logical server icon in Sybase Central. The menu items only appear on the logical connection under the Replication Server抯 logical connection folder.
336876 Table objects on the Sybase Central desktop can be expanded as if they were containers, but they contain no child objects. If the user expands a Table object on the viewer, the list view becomes blank.
336879 If a logical connection is created from an existing physical connection, the Replication Agent on the active connection will suspend when the logical connection is created. The Replication Server抯 log contains an error stating that the warm standby option 朩 must be set on the active database's Replication Agent. The plug-in correctly configures the Replication Agent properties for the database, but the user must manually resume the connection.
336882 The logical server object that is displayed in the Sybase Central tree view is not removed immediately when the associated logical connection is deleted. The user must refresh the screen to remove the logical server object.
337118 On startup, RepAgent now prints to the

system.log ALL the Java System.properties.

This includes such information as the

java.class.path and the file.encoding (the

default character set). This may help when

troubleshooting.

337408 The un-install process for the Replication Manager plug-in does not un-register the plug-in from Sybase Central. The user must log into Sybase Central and un-register the plug-in. As startup, Sybase Central will display an error stating that the Replication Manager plug-in cannot be found. The user can ignore the message.
337976 ORACLE ONLY: When marking, RepAgent is not

properly checking for errors in the primary database.

338066 The Replication Manager plug-in has several different configuration parameter tables with entries that can be changed by the user. For all of these tables, entries that have alphanumeric fields such as 'on' or 'off', fail to stop the user from entering non-valid entries. The properties table also fails to catch users entering numeric entries into alphanumeric fields.
338169 Timestamp at the microsecond is not be replicated correctly.
338321 In RepConnector Manager, the Profile Status in the properties View Window is not immediately updated when you have successfully connected to RepConnector or have successfully disconnected from RepConnector.

Workaround: You will need to left mouse click on the Connection profile before the Profile Status is updated.

338323 In RepConnector Manager, the properties view is not greyed out on the read only fields.
338468 The Replication Manager plug-in is automatically registered at install time. Additionally, the user can use the registerRM script to register the plug-in. However, if the user needs to register the plug-in using the Sybase Central plug-ins dialog, they must supply the plug-in specific classpath. The following jar files should be added to the classpath for the Replication Manager:

$SYBASE/shared-1_0/lib/ldap.jar

$SYBASE/shared-1_0/lib/dsparser.jar

$SYBASE/RMP-12_6/lib/asa.jar

$SYBASE/RMP-12_6/help/rmen.jar

$SYBASE/jConnect-5_5/classes/jconn2.jar

Note, $SYBASE should be replaced with the actual sybase directory.

339114 Error 32050 raised for text column that is marked as dropped in rs_columns when RA sends

text data that is null, while the original DROPPED replication definition has not null

defined for the text column. This will happen when mutiple repdefs are created on one table such that repserver creates an internal overall repdef.

339209 Feature Request to not use 'sa' password for any RS activities

Currently, RepServer requires that the sa login has the same password on the primary

database and replicate database when using 'create subscription' to materialize a table

subscription. RS logs in to primary as 'sa' and does a 'select' upon the table to

create a materialization queue of data.

339461 When the $SYBASE directory name has a dot

( "." ) in it, the instance configuration file

is backed up to the incorrect directory.

339516 Increase size for subscription name; repdef can be 255 chars but subscription only 30.
339808 rs_subcmp charset incompatibly between -j and -J
339816 The Repository "Getting Started" (Tutorial) documentation concerning Locking and Freezing models needs to be expanded to explain more about what these functions do, why either would be used, and, how they are different. Please add examples to the Repository Tutorial "Getting Started"documentation with respect to using locking and freezing features in the Repository.

//////////////

From the Customer

The tutorial area is the place to put the "why" and "how" information about this functionality. The user needs to clearly understand the distinctions between all of the repository functions (freezing, locking, branching, consolidating, extracting, etc). The current documentation is too focused on the "and then you click the button" step-by-step type descriptions, without enough context of "you would click the button if you wanted to...".

Digressing:

Overall the current tutorials for the entire suite are very weak. There have been previous cases logged about errors in the tutorial (when you follow the instructions for the tutorial, the tool doesn't respond as documented). I have submitted cases in the past about reworking the tutorial to be more of an interactive walk-through (308825). This would mean that the PowerDesigner interface would be "driven" by the tutorial, which would instruct the user to do certain things, and monitor what the user actually did, and either proceed (correct action) or clarify the step (incorrect action).

340262 "Generate DDL" on RS 12.5 plugin incorrect custom function string.
340363 When updating a PDM in the repository, the column order of the PK has been changed. The merge window notices the change, but does not select it by default.

To reproduce:

1) Create table with columns A, B, C (in this order)

2) Add a primary key with column order B, C, A

3) Consolidate/extract model

4) Change PK column order to A, B, C

5) Consolidate

Also, to right-click on documents and have a menu item that will add the document to a configuration.

If all docs are V1 only, then just bring the list into the configuration. If any docs have multiple versions, bring up a list **of only the multi-version docs** in a dialog box, showing a "2 across grid" with the documents down the left side and their current version on the right. Each version cell field has a pull down of all valid versions of that document. Clicking OK will populate the member list as appropriate.

341666 Customer is requesting a change to the configuration window property sheet. They would easier access to configuration members attributes, in particular the version information.

Customer's comments:

Basically, there needs to be improved functionality to be able to change which version of a specified document that participates within the members tab page of a configuration. The displayed list of documents could be displayed in a grid format or dropdownlist format, where the cell field holding the version number is editable (meaning this field lists all the version #'s in the current branch and the user can select which version they want in the configuration). Also, this feature would only be available to those Repository users/groups who have the proper permissions to create, delete, edit a configuration.

341669 User is requesting that Configurations need permissions (List, Read, Write, Full) just like docs and folders. Please add a Permissions tab to the Configuration properties dialog box.

Tse/customer comments:

The Repository Right called "Manage Configuration" allows a user to create, modify, and delete configurations. However, the customer would like to have additional control over the "access permissions" to the configuration itself, consider the configuration as another object in the Repository like a folder or a document. Allowing the user who created the configuration or someone with more permissons (manage repository) to set the access permissions on a configuration...

This is a important feature to managing a team development environment... Let's say we have 20 documents in the Configuration, each document has a different version level. We are ready to release our application to production. The members of the Configuration at this given point (the production release time) contains all the versioned documents that represent the application version. We need to be able to know this collection equates to the production release and minimize anyone who has 'manage configuration' rights from changing it using the 'access permissons' to control that (list, read, write, full). Now, an update occurs to the production application. So, we have new versions of documents, so we want to change the version of the documents contained in the configuration. Today, we have to delete a document and then add it's newer version to the configuration. Now, our configuration is updated. The configuration is not a static thing... it becomes is a living/evolving archive of our production work. This is our thought process on the use of the configuration.

2) Add two triggers, ord_1 and ord_2, both using the delete trigger template

3) Ord_1's firing order should be set to 1. By default, the firing order for ord_2 is 2.

4) Consolidate and extract the model

5) Change the firing order for ord_2 to 1 and ord_1 to 2.

6) Consolidate with freeze current version

7) In the merge window, you must 'select all' actions ( not sure why, but the actions are not selected by default)

8) complete the consolidation

9) Compare version 1 and 2 of the model.

Note: they are identical.

SAS Eng requested sample SYSUDUMP

May 04, 2004

The Engineer in SAS, 3rd party vendor of SAS/C, tracked down the cause of the System 0C4 abend to C load module LTMVERSION being called by RAD's main LTMMGR program without having R1 initialized properly (i.e. in regular batch job scheduler's convention in passing a parameter area using R1). Sybase ENG will formulate correction and fix in due course.

349444 Up to now, RepAgent has been using a

StringBuffer to hold LTL commands before

sending them to RepServer. This has caused

problems with some binary and character data.

To correct this, RepAgent now uses a byte

buffer for LTL commands and does any required

charset conversion to *only* character data

instead of having jConnect do charset

conversion on the complete LTL command.

THIS FIX REQUIRES THAT YOU UPDATE YOUR

JCONNECT-5_5 TO EBF 11473 OR LATER.

Charset conversion is handled as follows:

1 - Be sure that the system default charset on

the machine on which RepAgent is running is the

same as that of the primary database. Sometimes

this is insufficient and you need to set it

within the RepAgent run script(s):

Edit the various RepAgent run scripts to add

the 'file.encoding' Java system property to the

Java command line. The property (including the

double-quote marks) should follow the memory

property and precede the 'install.root'

property. The format of the 'file.encoding'

property is:

"-Dfile.encoding=xxx"

where 'xxx' is the Java (not Sybase) name of

the default charset (note that the charset name

is case sensitive). For example, inserting the

following property in the Java command line in

the 'ra' script

"-Dfile.encoding=Cp1251"

sets the default charset for RepAgent to

Windows Cyrillic.

2 - If your RepServer is using a different

charset and you wish RepAgent to convert from

its default charset to the one used by

RepServer, set the 'rs_charset' property to the

same Sybase charset that the RepServer is

using. If you want RepAgent to send data to

RepServer using the default charset that you

have configured, do not set rs_charset.

Be aware that converting from one charset to

another is not recommended and may lead to data

corruption because of charset

incompatibilities.

Note that, for all non-Sybase primary

databases, setting 'pds_charset' does nothing

because those JDBC drivers do not provide a way

of setting the charset. Also, it is not

necessary to set 'rssd_charset' because the

jConnect JDBC driver will determine the charset

to use when the RepAgent connects to the RSSD.

1 - login to the RepAgent and verify that

scripts run automatically:

ra_config pdb_auto_run_scripts, true

2 - shut down the RepAgent and apply this EBF

3 - start the RepAgent in ADMIN mode

4 - login to the RepAgent and issue the

pdb_xlog command with no parameters

When the command returns successfully,

migration will have been completed and you may

resume replication.

Note that, regardless of how many fixes in this

release require migration, you need migrate a

given RepAgent instance only once.

358029 RepServer rescan message is erroneously logged

when LTI component stops.

358534 To be consistent with other Sybase products and for easier management, output that would normally go to trace.log or debug.log now goes only to system.log (i.e., no more trace.log and debug.log) -- but exclusive logs remain the same.

For the same reason, the name of the log file is now based on the agent instance name (instead of system.log). For example: $SYBASE/MRA-12_6/my_instance/log/my_instance.log Also, the "log_trace_name" command is now hidden but still available for backwards compatibility; it returns the same value as the "log_system_name" command.

359566 ORACLE ONLY: Occasionally, RepAgent hangs

because there is at least one operation listed

in the tran-log queue without a corresponding

entry in the shadow table data queue. When

RepAgent is re-started, replication works

just fine.

RepAgent now recognizes the mismatch between

the queues, prints an error message, and goes

to ADMIN state.

In addition, a new property called

'lr_attempt_recovery' is now available. The

default value is FALSE. However, if set to

TRUE, the RepAgent, upon recognizing the queue

mismatch, will attempt to retrieve the missing

shadow table data instead of going to ADMIN

state. Sybase recommends that you change this

property only on advice from Technical Support.

359613 MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ONLY: Cannot replicate LOB

data if primary column is 'ntext'.

Since RepAgent 12.5 does not support the

RepServer 15.0 UNITEXT data type, when

replicating TO MsSQL, the RepAgent's encoding

of the character stream affects the byte order

of data when it is applied at the replicate.

For this reason, RepAgent now has a new

user-configurable property called

'lr_ntext_byte_order' that allows the user

to set the byte order that RepAgent should use

on ntext data -- either BigEndian or

LittleEndian.

For example, if the replicate is an ASE on

Unix, set the property to "big"; if the

replicate is a MsSQL on Windows, set the

property to "little". The default value of

'lr_ntext_byte_order' is "big".

359670 ERSSD: rs_zeroltm sets locater to incorrect value.
359837 If RS is too busy performing queue processing

during RS startup, RS may generate thread fatal

error messages regarding failures to acquire

locks due to RepAgent connection failures due to

time out. This behavior is acceptable. Once

queue processing is complete, RepAgents can

connect successfully. Therefore, remove the

generation of the thread fatal error messages

since they cause unnecessary concern to the

user.

362409 Migration of repository from v. 9.5.2 to 10.x: the repository Update script in v.10 requires modification of 2 UPDATE statements when repository tables reside on ASE 12.5.x database system.

Scenario: version 9.5.2 PowerDesigner. was used to create repository tables that resides on Sybase ASE 12.5.x database (Unix platform), then the end user connects to the repository using version 10.x PowerDesigner to update it. The repository update script dialog pops up. The end user executes it and during the transactions, the generation log produces 2 errors on the last 2 UPDATE statements:

Errors:

----------

*** Executing statement 1032:

update PMEMDL set TOID=(select POID from PMOBJT where OBJT=TOID) where exists(select 1 from PMOBJT O where PMEMDL.TOID=O.OBJT)

[INTERSOLV][ODBC SQL Server driver][SQL Server]Invalid column name 'TOID'. SQLSTATE = S0022

*** Executing statement 1033:

Resolution from PD Development:

-----------------------------------------------------

Run PowerDesigner's (auto-generated) update script outside of PowerDesigner UI (in an ISQL session) AND modify the 2 update scripts by adding in the alias (PMEMDL and PMEOBJ) for the TOID column in the first select statement as follows:

update PMEMDL set TOID=(select POID from PMOBJT where OBJT=PMEMDL.TOID) where

exists(select 1 from PMOBJT O where PMEMDL.TOID=O.OBJT)

go

update PMEOBJ set TOID=(select POID from PMOBJT where OBJT=PMEOBJ.TOID) where

exists(select 1 from PMOBJT O where PMEOBJ.TOID=O.OBJT)

364702 RepAgent for Informix 12.50.302P1 on Windows 2000 has its Log Reader process halted due to Informix access locking conflict with ct's high volumne batch transaction run despite ct's Informix is configured with 2 million locks. Batch run updates the index (INSERTS) where process_seq = 0 which conflicts with the RAX Log Reader procedure's where process_seq = 0 (RAI times out and attempts recursive resume/restart, which gives rise to "rogue" LTL send to RS - see CR 363327)
364890 NullPointerException in ASETransactionContext sends MRA to ADMIN state.
364977 NullPointerException out of LTLFormatter sends MRA to ADMIN state.
364988 NullPointerException out of ASESchemaChangeContext sends MRA to ADMIN state.
365057 The RSM Server will reach its memory limit when reading a large log file that is being updated continuously by the Replication Server. The RSM Server cannot read and send new entries to the RSM Plug-in as fast as the server can add new log entries. This only occurs when monitoring a very active Replication Server when the DSI buffer trace is turned on.
365077 'rs_helpdbrep' does not provide accurate subscription information
365209 In cases where a Replication Server may be configured to support a large number of connections, say 25 or more, it is possible when the "smp_enable" configuration is set to "on" that at startup the Replication Server process will seem to "hang" while consuming large amoutn of CPU. In fact, if stack traces are taken several minutes apart one can see that the threads are making progress, only slowly, and that if one waits long enough, depending on the number of connections and the number of available CPUs, RepServer will eventually resolve all the thread initialization issues and be ready for work.

The difficulty here is one of the various threads thrashing about in contention for an internal resource required to complete their initializations. This resolution addresses the issue by enforcing "tighter" thread serialization at startup and putting threads to sleep until it is their turn to initialize, thus reducing CPU requirements during this initialization phase.

365379 When the logical page number within the truncation point's oldest open transaction is negative, replication fails with an error message similar to:

Device Usage Map entry for database <4>, logical page id <-1> not found.

365503 Operation sent out of order causes RepServer to

throw out un-replicated operations as "duplicates."

365577 The installation file transfer to mainframe fails on some machines.
365623 When Use_repdef=Y and Stop_on_error=Y and there is no repdef defined for the table, the message returned by the RA DB2 is not specific to the error.
365753 Default "DD" entry for "RPCLIB" should reference back to "STEPLIB"
366058 Replication fails when primary contains columns

with same names but with different character case

(e.g., "MyColumn" and "mycolumn").

366059 Replication fails when it encounters a record of type XREC_DOL_DNOOP.
366104 This CR fixes the problem with RepConnector not supporting NUMERIC data types for ASE12.5.1
366110 Added an enhancement to handle the ownership information of tables with the same table name but

different owners.

366287 If the primary database allows a table (or

procedure) to have more than one column (or

parameter) with the same name but different

character case (e.g., "myCol" and "MYcol"), then

when replicating, RepAgent replicates the value

of the first column to *both* columns.

366409 The attention handler that the replication server installs makes

illegal calls at the interrupt level if the trace OSRV, OS RV_TR_ATTN

is turned on. The trc_print functions that are called to write

messages require a mutex to be locked via a call to srv_lockmutex().

This is not allowed at the interrupt level by Open Server. This

results in an endless loop of attempting to report an error until

the server runs out of memory and crashes.

366474 Add in the sample VBS-scripts a skeleton for

366523 Two new parameters have been added to the

mra_admin utility to allow a Mirror Replication

Agent instance to be created and configured using

a resource file.

Resource files are text files that you can modify

with any text editor. They contain information

that identifies the resources and configuration

values to be used by the mra_admin utility to

create a Mirror Replication Agent instance.

To create a resource file, copy the template file

found in the init subdirectory of the Mirror

Replication Agent installation directory and edit

the copy as needed. The template resource file

contains descriptions of each of the values and

options that you can set.

Once the resource file is created, you can execute

mra_admin with the -vr or -r command line

parameter, specifying the resource file that

mra_admin will use for input.

New mra_admin parameters:

-r <resource> Creates a Mirror ReplicationAgent

instance based on the contents

of the resource file specified.

-vr <resource> Validates the contents of the

resource file specified, without

creating an instance.

Note: Sybase recommends that you validate a new

resource file by using the mra_admin -vr parameter

first, before you create the instance using the -r

parameter.

EXAMPLES:

USING RESOURCE FILES FOR MRA_ADMIN

This section explains how to prepare a resource

file for mra_admin.

1. Make a copy of the template file and rename

it to distinguish it from the original.

For example:

cp mra.rs pubs2.rs

2. Use a text editor to edit the new resource

file.

To use the vi editor, for example, enter:

vi pubs2.rs

See "Editing a resource file" below for

instructions.

3. When you finish editing the resource file,

properly set your Sybase environment

variables and start mra_admin from the

operating system prompt, using the -vr or

-r parameter. For example:

$SYBASE/MRA-12_6/bin/mra_admin -vr pubs2.rs

EDITING A RESOURCE FILE:

Resource files list the attributes to be defined

during an mra_admin session and the values for the

attributes. Attribute entries are in this format:

attribute=value

where:

attribute - is an item for which you are

supplying information, such as a

server name or network protocol.

value - is the value you want to assign to

the attribute.

mra_admin ignores blank lines and lines that begin

with a pound sign (#). No spaces should separate

the attribute, equals sign, or value.

If a Sybase-defined default value exists for an

attribute, you can specify the default with the

special value USE_DEFAULT.

RUNNING MRA_ADMIN IN VALIDATION MODE

Note: Before you can invoke Mirror Replication

Agent utility mra_admin, you must first make sure

that the Sybase environment variables are set.

Refer to the "Mirror Replication Agent

Administration Guide" section on "Using Mirror

Replication Agent utilities" for more information.

Each execution of mra_admin with the -vr (validate

resource file) parameter returns information about

the validation and the result. When complete, the

last message displayed is "Admin processing

completed" or "Validation encountered failures."

If you encounter the "Validation encountered

failures" message, review the previous messages to

determine the exact cause of failure, correct the

necessary values in the resource file, and re-run

the validation until it executes successfully.

You can re-run the validation process as many

times as necessary. No entities are changed or

created as a result of this process.

RUNNING MRA_ADMIN IN CREATE MODE

Each time you execute mra_admin with the -r

(resource file) parameter, it attempts to create a

Mirror Replication Agent instance using the

resource file as input.

Note: Executing mra_admin with the -r parameter

creates files and other resources. Any attempt to

re-run this command will fail unless you first

remove those resources as described at the end of

this section.

Each execution of mra_admin returns information

about the instance being created and the result.

When complete, the last message displayed is

"Admin processing completed" or "Admin processing

completed with errors". If the "Admin processing

completed with errors" message is returned,

review the previous messages to determine the

exact cause of failure, and correct the necessary

values in the resource file.

Note:Before you re-run the mra_admin with the -r

parameter, delete any instance created during the

previous execution by using the mra_admin -d

(delete)parameter:

$SYBASE/MRA-12_6/bin/mra_admin -d <INSTANCE_NAME>

Example:

$SYBASE/MRA-12_6/bin/mra_admin -d pubs2_mra

W. 2004/12/13 15:52:48. WARNING #13061 DSI(106 mcdon.fbidb) - seful/cm.c(5699)

Server mcdon is using 'utf8_nocase' sort order, which is different from this Replication Server's sort order.

375275 With a new function string class inherited from rs_default_function_class,

repserver will generate default function string rs_select for it when we

drop a subscription with purge. However, if we create a customized function

string rs_select for it that does NOT match the subscription where clause,

then dropping the subscription with purge will cause DSI to shutdown with

the message:

"Cannot find a matching function string for function 'rs_select' and function string class 'xxx_class'. "

The correct behavior is for repserver to generate a default rs_select as

long there is no matching rs_select instead of shutting down DSI.

378963 rs_helpdbsub not reporting correct status at PRS
378966 Foreign key violation error may not generate rollback LTL to Rep Server.
379236 The behavior of the QUIESCE command

has changed. The QUIESCE command waits until all

data in the primary log has been read and sent to

Replication Server before moving the Replication

Agent to ADMIN state.

Previously, the command only waited until the

Replication Agent's internal queues were

processed before moving to ADMIN state.

Customers who need a more immediate transition

of the Replication Agent to ADMIN state should

use the "SUSPEND" command.

379260 The new GraphicType=Char configuration causes graphic data to be translated as if it were char data. The graphic data is being truncated by half its size(Graphic data is double byte) and DB2 never stores the leading SO and trainling SI character in the column. The product was modified to send double byte instead of single byte and to supply the SO and SI chracters when it translates the data to LTL. This configuration is useful for customers who wish to send graphic data to tarket databases that do not accept hex format for graphic data translated to a charset like sjis or eucjis. GraphicType=Binary is the default.
379272 Repserver core dumps if sts_full_cache is set for a non-cached table. If an RSSD table is not cached, and customer has "sts_full_cache_rs_xxx" set to "on" in rs_config table, repserver will core dump.
379700 The options menu on the RCL Editor tools menu displays the wrong dialog when run on a Linux computer.
379790 When run on Unix systems, the Log TRansfer Manager would have ignored the settings of the configurable parameter, scan_retry, and continuously asked for the truncation point from Rep Server after it has reached the end of the online transaction log until activities were resumed on the primary database. This problem has been fixed.
380010 12.6 rs_init reports there is not available space on database partitions for RSSD. rs_init must calculate available disk space differently in ASE 15.

381227 New ASE 15.0 backup server error message number (418811) will be ignored by Replication Server.
381760 Spinlock code that was causing the assertion failure on AIX platforms has been fixed.
382229 The table subscription properties dialog does not display the primary connection or the table information.
382329 On start up, DB2 table property DATA CAPTURE is not reflected in LTMOBJECTS or the RA DB2 traces.
382349 Changes to LTMOBJECTS are not reflected in the RA DB2 log or trace.
382384 Mapped column names in pre-existing repdefs not carried down in new routes to RRS_RSSD

The "as replicate column name" does not replicate to the RRS_RSSD with

the create route. RepDefs created later, after route is finished,

do have replicate column name in RRS_RSSD.

383220 Replication stops for table after many tables are enabled for replication in LTMOBJECTS.
383624 "Configure replication server" command updates the "run value" with new memory_limit parameter when the memory_limit parameter requires a reboot before it is the run value. This is because the "configure replication server" command updates the rs_config table and does not update the status flag in the rs_tvalues table to 1. This bug happens on any command that requires a "reboot of Rep Server" to take effect.
383820 Request rs_locater (type 'D') updated at suspend distributor time
383941 Name of DB2 log dataset which is currently being processed, needs to be displayed/accessible through a console display of RA DB2.

The following new configuration parm must be added for each member of a data sharing group where member is the DB2 member name and dsn is the dataset name of the BSDS for that member:

383997 The table subscription properties dialog incorrectly displays the status of the subscription at the primary Replication Server. The state at the primary site will display as 'Unknown' when the actual state is 'Valid'.
384106 During expansion of Msg 6024, the string parameter representing "OS Dependent Error" is not correctly populated.
384591 RA DB2 does not process certain delete compensation records with Support_DB2_comp_rec = Y
384642 sqm_purge_queue of large queue cause RS to stack.
384984 If Replicate DB returns man error messages(ususally DSI error message 7035) a memory leak will occur and RS will crash.
385583 RSM Server: error encountered an error while reading logfile
386261 The status of the active connection's DSI thread and the standby connection's Rep Agent are hidden in a logical connection. When a switch active process is executed, where the active connection becomes the standby connection, the hidden flags are not reset correctly.
386456 The user cannot specify a user when creating a subscription. The subscription is created using the user and password that the Replication Manager uses to connect to the Replication Server. This has implications when using atomic materialization.
386554 When dropping a table subscription, the Replication Manager will report the subscription status as 'Dematerializing' even if the user selected the 'Do not purge' option. This is an intermediate status that will not effect the drop process.
386691 In the current implementation the users must download the templates to their file system before they can use them as templates. We would like to have the option to create a new model based on a template stored in the repository without prior download. This would allow us to change the templates or to deploy new ones without having to ask the developers to first download them to their local file system.

In general this should be possible for all similar things, like DBMS and model resources.

387914 ERROR #60024 Synchronization model CONDITION VARIABLE, element Executor needs to be handled more gracefully.
387922 Sybase Central provides a central log where each plug-in can write error messages and details about its execution. Sybase Central does not limit the number of entries in the log so it is possible for it to use up all available memory and hang. The Replication Manager provides an ability to log all SQL commands sent from the plug-in to managed servers. If this setting is turned on, then commands at every monitoring interval will be written to the Sybase Central log. Eventually this will cause the log to fill up and Sybase Central to hang.
388510 Current functionality exists in PD 9.5.2, 10.1.0, 11.0.0, 11.1.0

In the Browser, the customer has a closed model. They then extract the same model from the repository with the 'merge document' and 'open document' setting selected. When the mdoel is extracted, the model is open, but its default diagram has not been opened. The customer would like this diagram opened.

388515 Customer has been using the repository for a while and they have consolidated and extracted a lot of models over a period of time. In the Repository menu under the List of Activites window he has a list of all the things he did. This list is very large and he wants to delete some of the oldest activites. There is no way of doing that. He wants the option to delete records *for ADMIN only!*
388575 The Sybase Central "Connect" button provides the ability to connect to a server using one of the registered plug-ins. The RMP uses this button to log into previously defined replication environments. If an environment has not been defined, Sybase Central will display the message "Login attempt to 'null' failed.". Use the "Add Replication Environment" option in the RMP to define the new environment.

391024 Be sure that the system default charset on

Edit the various RepAgent run scripts to uncomment

the line(s) for RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET and set the

value to the Java (not Sybase) name of

the default charset (note that the charset name

is case sensitive). The following examples set

the default charset for RepAgent to Cyrillic:

Windows (should be all on one line):

if %RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET%. == .

set RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET=Cp1251

Unix:

393407 Tested and reproduced with PD 10.1.0.1169 EBF7

This is a new feature request only:

Today, even setting Tools - General options-Repository-Merge Document to false, when customer extracts a model, the Merge Document is still available for checking. Customer would like this option to be disabled since a General Repository option (Merge Document) was changed.

Repserver may hang or crash due to memory corruption.

394345 The ASA RepAgent, and SQL Remote for ASE, would have crashed at startup on Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 3 and 4. This was due to the fact that the Open Server/Open Client libraries, version 12.5 that was shipped with ASA, did not support these distributions. This has been fixed by installing a newer version of the Open Server/Open Client libraries, version 12.5.1, that is certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 3 and 4.

400099 ORACLE ONLY: The Replication Agent has been

enhanced to allow archived redo logs to be

accessed when required data no longer exists

in the on-line redo logs.

Configuring the Replication Agent to include

access to archive logs also removes the

requirement that Oracle automatic archiving be

disabled.

When the Replication Agent configuration is

changed to include archive logs, the Replication

Agent will no longer issue archive commands to

Oracle, requiring that automatic archiving

in Oracle be enabled, or that archiving be

performed by a mechanism other than

Replication Agent.

The following three new configuration options

can now be used to configure the Replication

Agent to include archive log usage, obtaining

the archive logs from the location specified

and optionally having the Replication Agent

remove the archive log files when they are no

longer needed for Replication.

1) pdb_include_archives

New configuration property pdb_include_archives,

when true, indicates that Replication Agent

should read Oracle archive log files in addition

to on-line redo log files. When false, only

on-line redo log files are read, and the

Replication Agent expects to control the Oracle

archiving process (Oracle automatic archiving

must be disabled).

Default value: false

Allowed values:

true: Enables reading of archived Oracle redo

log files from the path specified by

configuration parameter pdb_archive_path.

Configuration of Oracle automatic archiving is

supported under this mode. Removal of old

archive logs (no longer needed to support

replication) may be provided using configuration

property pdb_archive_remove.

false: Only on-line redo logs files will be read.

Oracle automatic archiving must be disabled.

The Replication Agent will execute Oracle archive

commands to archive the redo logs once they are

no longer needed for replication.

Comments: Set this configuration to true when

use of archive logs in addition to on-line redo

logs is preferred or when Oracle must be

configured to perform automatic archiving. Set

this value to false if accessing only the on-line

redo logs is preferred.

2) pdb_archive_path

New configuration property pdb_archive_path

identifies the directory path where the

Replication Agent will expect to find

archived Oracle redo log files. Valid only when

configuration parameter pdb_include_archives is

enabled.

Default value: none

Allowed values: A valid directory path on the

machine hosting the Replication Agent, pointing

to a location where Oracle will place archived

redo logs.

Comments: Setting of the configuration parameter

is required and must be set to a valid location

before the Replication Agent can be placed in a

replicating state when configuration parameter

pdb_include_archives is also set to true. If the

Replication Agent cannot find an expected log

record in the Oracle online redo logs, the

Replication Agent will search this directory for

the archived log file containing the required

record. Archived log files can be removed from

this location by the Replication Agent, if

configuration parameter pdb_archive_remove is set

to true.

WARNING: The Replication Agent process must have

access to this directory, and 'read' permissions

on the individual archive log files. Access

failures will prevent the Replication Agent from

maintaining a replicating state.

3) pdb_archive_remove

New configuration property pdb_archive_remove,

when true, indicates that Replication Agent

should remove archived log files from

the directory specified by pdb_archive_path

during log truncation processing. Valid only

when pdb_include_archives is enabled.

Default Value: false

Allowed Values:

true: Enables removal of archived Oracle redo

log files from the path specified by

pdb_archive_path. Removal occurs based on the

execution of command pdb_truncate_xlog, or the

timing of automatic truncation based on

parameters truncation_type and

truncation_interval

false: Disables Replication Agent removal of

archived Oracle redo log files.

Comments: Set this configuration to true when

the path specified by pdb_archive_path is

established solely for Replication support, and

automatic removal of unneeded archived log files

is desired. If the path specified

by pdb_archive_path is shared by other processes,

or the removal of archived log files is expected

to be performed by processes other than the

Replication Agent, this parameter should be

false. Parameters truncation_type and

truncation_interval, and command

pdb_truncate_xlog have no impact when this

configuration parameter is set to false.

WARNING: When the pdb_archive_remove parameter is

set to TRUE, the Replication Agent process must

have UPDATE access to this directory, and

'UPDATE' permissions on the individual archive

log files. Failure to provide the necessary

permissions will prevent the Replication Agent

from removing old archive files.

After the three new configuration options

have been properly set, Replication Agent

command ra_updatedevices should be executed

prior to resuming replication. This command will

query Oracle to obtain the 'log_archive_format'

value from the v$parameter table. This format is

required to allow the Replication Agent to

recognize the archive log file names.

Once ra_updatedevices command has been run and

the three new configuration parameters have been

set and permissions to the archive log files and

directory have been granted, the Replication

Agent can be placed in Replicating state

and automatic archiving in Oracle can be enabled.

400958 In a warm standby setup, when a stored procedure is marked for replication at the active (with sp_setrepproc), only its execution is replicated at the standby. Therefore, triggers associated with inserts/deletes on the tables that the procedure touches will not fire at the standby. This may cause inconsistencies in the data at active and standby and can be worked around by using 'set triggers' code in the body of the replicated stored procedure.

402221 During the repository installation, PD could create pre-defined repository user groups ("Administrators", "Developers", "Business users" - as PD help suggests) associated with reasonable access rights.

Benefit:

A repository creator can customize or delete these more easily.

402228 The customer has submitted the following request:

The repository setup scripts could contain a few lines of metadata, similar to a "generate database as script" generation option. Some explanations what to do next or in case of failure or incomplete setup could also be placed in the SQL comment.

In an effort to clarify this request the customer was assked the following questions:

What specifically are you looking for?

Other metadata such as

date created,

created by user,

a general description of the purpose of repository database,

suggestions for a naming convention,

security issues (database level),

size recommendations....

What do you want for 'what to do next'?

In case of a successful rep setup, Perhaps a hint for the username and password that must be used to connect the repository.

In case of an unsuccessful setup: Hints what to do besides the three

choices (ignore - ignore all - abort). Explanations what "ignore",

"ignore all" "abort" mean, respectively. What are alternatives (e.g.,

retry) and consequences

In what scenario are you encountering an incomplete repository setup?

In the general scenario. Clicking on Powerdesigner menus and dialog boxes.

Sometimes the rep setup script is 13000 lines long, sometimes it has

19000 lines (for no apparent reason)

Submitting the dialog box with the setup script to the server with the

repository database. Creates above mentioned cryptic error dialogs.

The repository setup process is pretty awkward. A *general* redesign

(perhaps by means of a wizard) would be appropriate, IMHO.

402424 The SQL Anywhere RepAgent now supports long table names, column names, procedure names, function names, and parameter names. The maximum length for these names is 128 bytes and that is identical to the maximum length of identifiers in SQL Anywhere.

In order to use this new feature, the Rep Server and the Open Server/Open Client must be equal to or greater than version 15.0. Versions earlier than 15.0 still support these objects using the old maximum identifier length of only 30 bytes.

402443 ENH: Offer a more streamlined document displaying how the repository meta-tables and their columns are linked.

Customer's comments:

Current need:

Reporting of high level objects and information against the models in the Repository like, "How many CDMs, PDMs, OOMs are in the repository?", "What models are in which folder?" "What is the repository version number of each model?".

ENHANCEMENT:

----------------------------

A user could (with some effort) certainly derive the desired meta-data out of the existing sample models and documentation that PowerDesigner Development has to offer to produce queries. However, it would be more beneficial to the end users if you could provide a more simplistic form showing the mapping (linking) of these tables and columns to each other, or maybe a hierarchical document that shows how one could 'mine the data' of an object in a model type. This hierarchical document would show the descending levels of metadata. A white paper of sorts.

Additionally, when maintenance updates are provided and it affects the repository (new tables, new columns, new datatypes etc...) then provide what has changed in the 'What's New' documentation. (ie) Adding the dragging of models and folders feature to the repository browser was a big change but, no mention in the 'What's New' documentation of what changes were specifically made to which repository tables. As an end user, while I understand that structure changes need to be made to a repository structure to enable enhancement, I have a couple of concerns:

1. Is the MetaModel in the examples directory updated with the latest changes?

2. Will my reports (queries) still work and if not will I have to redo all of the initial discovery work with the model to determine how to modify my report (queries) to work again?

Please, give the end user a heads up (document changes) which can curb time and effort in addition to building trust in the tool set.

11/04/2005

This enhancement has been reviewed and will not implemented. Per engineering, the repository metamodel.pdm in Example directory must be used to understand repository structure.

402645 When configuring the log directory

(ra_config log_directory, xxx) where "xxx" is

either an empty string or a space, the RepAgent

will hang on startup.

402702 When status changes for connections in a warm standby environment, the active and standby logical connection columns for logical connections are not being updated, but the logical connection icon does update. This means that a user needs to do a manual refresh for those two columns to update.
402867 ORACLE ONLY: The shadow table columns created by

the Replication Agent may have insufficient size

to accommodate a primary table column defined as

type number without explicit precision.

The fix provided in this ESD affects only newly

created shadow tables (created when an object

is marked for replication). For shadow tables

that already exist, the column size will only

be corrected if the object is un-marked and

re-marked. Note that un-marking and re-marking

should only be performed if all data from the

affected tables has been replicated.

To manually perform the modification, without

un-marking and re-marking, the size of the shadow

table columns may be increased by altering each

column so that the shadow table columns size is

increased to varchar2(40).

Example:

ALTER TABLE <my_tab> MODIFY (colx varchar2(40));

Note that this modification is necessary only if

the existing shadow table column size is less

than 40 for a primary table column defined as

NUMBER without any precision.

403687 Change in behavior: Before you can start

replication, you must set the configuration

property rs_charset to match the character set at

RepServer. If rs_charset does not match

RepServer's character set, then RepServer will do

character set conversion on the complete LTL

commands it receives which will corrupt the origin

404196 The ASE RepAgent Thread requires the ASE to be properly named with the 'sp_addserver' system procedure. If the ASE is not properly named, an attempt to start an ASE RepAgent Thread will result in an error. Replication Manager needs to check if sp_addserver has been run, and if not, run it before starting the ASE RepAgent Thread.

404984 ORACLE ONLY: Oracle datatype TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE is replicated without including the time zone displacement value.

In order to support inclusion of the time zone displacement, new configuration parameter pdb_timezone_file has been added to allow the customer to specify the exact location of the Oracle timezone file to be used.

This configuration parameter must be set to $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinto/timezone.dat or timezlrg.dat, depending on which timezone file the Oracle server has been configured to use.

407377 Tested and reproduced with PD 11.0 and PD 11.1 EBF#6.

A model in repository has package1 and package2. Package1 has a shortcut dependency from Package2.

if we uncheck "Extract Dependencies" and extract Package, obligatorially PowerDesigner displays: "Your package selection has been automatically extended to include target packages referenced by internal shortcuts".

According to PD help, no shortcut dependencies should be included in package extraction.

407434 ORACLE ONLY: When a table is marked with a

different replication name with the command

"pdb_setreptable <priName>,<repName>,mark" or

"pdb_setreptable <priName>,<repName>,mark,owner",

replication fails because RepAgent does not use

the replicate name. This fix requires

Replication Agent migration.

ALL PRIMARY DATABASES: How you specify the owner

of the table in a replication definition has

changed from that described in the Reference

Manual. Now, you must always use the "owner"

keyword if you want to enable the SEND OWNER mode.

When marking, if you do not specify the replicate

owner, it will default to the primary owner.

In the following examples, the leading letter

indicates either primary (p) or replicate (r):

Example 1:

pdb_setreptable ptable, rtable, mark, owner

the table in the replication definition will be:

powner.rtable

Example 2:

pdb_setreptable ptable, rowner.rtable, mark,owner

the table in the replication definition will be:

rowner.rtable

Example 3:

pdb_setreptable ptable, rowner.rtable, mark

the table in the replication definition will

not be owner-qualified:

rtable

407547 ORACLE ONLY: The 'ra_locator zero' command fails

to clear the stored locator value.

407549 ORACLE ONLY: has a new feature for creating and

removing replication definitions at RepServer.

This feature is included not only as a command,

but replication definitions can also be

automatically created when tables, or procedures

are marked, and removed when they are unmarked.

New command "rs_create_repdef" creates replication

definition at the configured RepServer.

Description:

Creates a replication definition at RepServer

for a marked table/procedure, or all marked

tables/procedures.

Syntax:

rs_create_repdef <ALL>

rs_create_repdef <TABLE_NAME>

Usage:

- When rs_create_repdef is invoked and the

parameter "all" or "ALL" is entered, a

replication definition is created for all

tables and procedures that are marked for

replication.

- When rs_create_repdef is invoked and the

name of a table or procedure that is marked

for replication is entered, a Replication

Definition is created for that table or

procedure.

- A result set is returned for each table

or procedure that a replication definition

create is attempted. The result set

contains the replication definition name

and status of the create. If the

replication definition was created, the

status will be "Created". If an error

occured, the error message from

RepServer will be returned for the status.

- The character case of the object names in

the replication definition will be set

according to the "ltl_character_case"

setting.

- Replication definition names for tables

always begin with the prefix "ra$", and end

with the suffix "_rd" and use the

replicate table name (possibly modified)

in between. All non-alphanumeric characters

except the underscore, and period are

removed from the replicate table name. The

period ("." ) is converted to an underscore,

and the resulting name is truncated, if

necessary, to 24 characters (repdef names

are limited to 30 characters). For example,

for a replicate name of "My Table", the

resulting repdef name is "ra$mytable_rd".

For an owner-qualified replicate name of

"wbeck.MyTable", the resulting repdef name

is "ra$wbeck_mytable_rd". For an

especially long replicate name of

"mytable89012345678901234567890"

(30 characters), the resulting repdef name

is "ra$mytable89012345678901234_rd".

- Replication definition names for procedures

are the same name as the procedure.

New command "rs_drop_repdef" drops a replication

definition at the configured RepServer.

Description:

Drops a replication definition at RepServer

for a table/procedure.

Syntax:

rs_drop_repdef <TABLE_NAME>

Usage:

- When rs_drop_repdef is invoked a replication

definition for that table is dropped at

replication server.

- A result set is returned for the table

or procedure that a replication definition

is dropped. The result set

contains the table name and status of the

drop. If the replication definition was

dropped, the status will be "Dropped". If

an error occured, the error message from

RepServer will be returned for the status.

- The character case of the object names in

the replication definition will be set

according to the "ltl_character_case"

setting.

- Replication definition names for tables

always begin with the prefix "ra$", and end

with the suffix "_rd" and use the

replicate table name (possibly modified)

in between. All non-alphanumeric characters

except the underscore, and period are

removed from the replicate table name. The

period ("." ) is converted to an underscore,

and the resulting name is truncated, if

necessary, to 24 characters (repdef names

are limited to 30 characters). For example,

for a replicate name of "My Table", the

resulting repdef name is "ra$mytable_rd".

For an owner-qualified replicate name of

"wbeck.MyTable", the resulting repdef name

is "ra$wbeck_mytable_rd". For an

especially long replicate name of

"mytable89012345678901234567890"

(30 characters), the resulting repdef name

is "ra$mytable89012345678901234_rd".

A new property "pdb_auto_create_repdefs" allows

replication definitions to be automatically

created and dropped at RepServer for tables and

procedures when they are marked and unmarked

for replication.

Description:

If set to true, when tables and procedures

are marked for replication, a replication

definition is automatically created at

RepServer for that table or procedure.

Syntax:

ra_config pdb_auto_create_repdefs,true

ra_config pdb_auto_create_repdefs,false

Usage:

- When pdb_setreptable is invoked to mark a

table or tables, a replication definition

will be created at RepServer for each table

that gets marked for replication if this

property is set to "true".

- When pdb_setrepproc is invoked to mark a

procedure or procedures, a replication

definition will be created at RepServer for

each procedure that gets marked for

replication if this property is set to

"true".

- When pdb_setreptable is invoked to unmark a

table or tables, the replication definition

will be dropped at RepServer for each table

that gets unmarked for replication if this

property is set to "true".

- When pdb_setrepproc is invoked to unmark a

procedure or procedures, a replication

definition will be dropped at RepServer for

each procedure that gets unmarked for

replication if this property is set to

"true".

- When pdb_xlog is initialized and table auto

marking is enabled, a replication definition

is created for each table that is marked for

replication if this property is set to

"true".

- The character case of the object names in the

replication definition will be set according

to the "ltl_character_case" setting.

- Replication definition names for tables

always begin with the prefix "ra$", and end

with the suffix "_rd" and use the

replicate table name (possibly modified)

in between. All non-alphanumeric characters

except the underscore, and period are

removed from the replicate table name. The

period ("." ) is converted to an underscore,

and the resulting name is truncated, if

necessary, to 24 characters (repdef names

are limited to 30 characters). For example,

for a replicate name of "My Table", the

resulting repdef name is "ra$mytable_rd".

For an owner-qualified replicate name of

"wbeck.MyTable", the resulting repdef name

is "ra$wbeck_mytable_rd". For an

especially long replicate name of

"mytable89012345678901234567890"

(30 characters), the resulting repdef name

is "ra$mytable89012345678901234_rd".

- Replication definition names for procedures

are the same name as the procedure.

407896 When a member of a DB2 data sharing group is taken down, incorrect DB2 log DSN information for the inactive member is displayed in response to the console LOGINFO command.
407913 RA DB2 terminates after restarting a DB2 member involved in multi-member datasharing.
407926 LTI statistics that are dependent on the LTL

command-size calculation are invalid. The invalid

LTI statistics are:

In the repository the customer would like the ability to update the permission of a 'child' with the parent's permission. However, they do not want to lose the 'child's' permission.

For example:

In the repository, create two groups

Add two folders. 1 - folder is the parent and the second folder is the child

Add group_2 to the child folder

From the property sheet of the parent folder, if you click the 'Copy permissions to child folder' tool, the permissions of the parent folder are copied and replace the permissions of the child folder. (this is expected.)

However, the customer would like to have the parent permissions updated to the child folder but to have an option to preserve the divergenet permissions already associated with the child folder.

Originally created 10/3/02 (PD 9.5.x?)and migrated PD 10, 10.1, 11.0 to PD 11.1.0

The customer is consolidating a PDM that contains views. Whether consolidating as a new model or as an update, the consolidation fails with the following ODBC error:

[S1010] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Function sequence error (0)

[22018] [DataDirect] [ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver] [Sql Server] Implicit conversion from datatype 'INT' to 'VARCHAR' is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

Using the customer's repository, this issue is reproducable. Using a newly installed repository, the customer's PDM consolidates without problems.

In review of the ODBC trace file, the problem appears in the PMPDMVIWC table.

In the customer's repository, the 'CCMT' column has a datatype of 'Varchar(254)'.

In the newly created repository, this same column has a datatype of 'int'.

In both instances, the insert statement for this column is inserting an 'integer'.

417884 ORACLE ONLY: Similar to support for table and

procedure replication, Oracle Sequences can be

individually marked for replication using the new

Replication Agent command pdb_setrepseq.

pdb_setrepseq

Description: Returns the sequence replication

marking status; marks specified sequence for

replication; unmarks all marked sequences or a

specified sequence; enables or disables

replication for all marked sequences or a

specified sequence. This command is available for

Oracle only.

Syntax:

To return sequence replication marking status:

pdb_setrepseq

[sequence_name|mark|unmark|enable|disable]

To unmark, enable, or disable all marked

sequences:

pdb_setrepseq all, {unmark[, force]

|enable|disable}

To mark, unmark, enable, or disable a specified

sequence:

pdb_setrepseq sequence_name, {mark|unmark[, force]

|enable|disable}

To mark a specified sequence for replication with

a replicated name:

pdb_setrepseq sequence_name, repname, mark

Parameters:

sequence_name

The name of a user sequence in the

primary database. The sequence_name option can be

delimited with quote characters to specify the

character case. If mixed character case (both

uppercase and lowercase) is required, the name

must be delimited. For example: "Sequence".

The sequence_name parameter can be owner-qualified

to include the primary sequence owner name, with

each element separated by a period. For example:

owner.sequence

Note If you must use an object name case that does

not match the setting of the ltl_character_case

parameter, the object name must be delimited. If

an object name contains any non-alphanumeric

characters, such as spaces, periods, and so forth,

it must be delimited with quote characters. For

example:

"sequence name"

owner."sequence name"

repname

The replicated name of the sequence to be updated

at the replicate site, if desired to be different

than the sequence name at the primary site. The

repname option can be delimited with quote

characters to specify character case. See the

previous description of the sequence_name

parameter for details. By specifying a replicated

name, sequence updates can be replicated to a

sequence in the replicate database that has a

different sequence name from the primary database.

The repname option can be owner-qualified to

include the replicate sequence owner name, with

each element separated by a period. For example:

repowner.repname

all

A keyword that refers to all user sequences in the

primary database. By using the all keyword, you

can unmark all user sequences, or apply an enable

or disable operation to all marked sequences.

mark

A keyword that refers to marking user sequences

for replication.

unmark

A keyword that refers to unmarking marked

sequences.

force

A keyword that refers to the unmark operation.

When the force keyword follows the unmark keyword,

the pdb_setrepseq command immediately unmarks the

specified sequence in the primary database,

without first checking the enable status of the

sequence. When the force keyword follows the

unmark keyword and the all keyword, the

pdb_setrepseq command immediately removes

replication marking from all marked sequences in

the primary database, regardless of their enable

status.

enable

A keyword that refers to enabling replication for

marked sequences.

disable

A keyword that refers to disabling replication for

marked sequences.

----------------------------------

Understanding Sequence Replication

Logging of sequence information

Individual sequence changes are not logged in the

Oracle database log file. But changes to Oracle

Sequence do impact (update) the Oracle sys.seq$

table. These changes do not occur with each new

sequence value generated. Instead, the sys.seq$

table is updated periodically, based on sequence

caching refresh activity or other system changes.

The value stored in the sys.seq$ table for a

sequence is the 'next' value to be assigned

'after' the existing cache of values has been

exhausted.

As an example, a newly created sequence starts

with a value of 1, increments by 1 and has a cache

value of 20. These are all default values and can

all be customized. The value stored in the

sys.seq$ record for this new sequence is 21.

This indicates that the 'next' value to be used by

the sequence, after the existing cache of 20

numbers is used, is 21. The record in sys.seq$

does not change until the sequence value hits 21.

At that time, Oracle will 'cache' the next 20

values for the sequence, and the sys.seq$ record

will be updated to 41. It is this value (41)

recorded in change to the sequences sys.seq$

record, that will be used for replication. The key

point then is recognizing that not every

individual sequence update is recorded in the log,

and is therefore not available for replication.

Replicating sequence changes

When a sequence is marked for replication, changes

to that sequence against sys.seq$ are captured and

sent to Replication Server in the form of

parameters passed to a procedure. The procedure

(rs_update_sequence) must be installed at the

standby site as part of system setup, as well as a

function replication definition for that

procedure. At the standby site, an implementation

of rs_update_sequence will increment a same-named

sequence until its value is equal to that at the

primary.

Scripts are provided to create the

rs_update_sequence stored procedure and function

replication definition. The scripts can be found

in the Replication Agent installation as:

$SYBASE/RAX-12_6/scripts/

oracle_create_replicate_sequence_proc.sql

$SYBASE/RAX-12_6/scripts/

oracle_create_rs_sequence_repdef.sql

Performance considerations

Compared to the performance of incrementing a

sequence at the Primary database, particularly

where sequence values are cached, the effort to

increment the same sequence at the standby site

may be less efficient. The stored procedure must

dynamically determine the sequence to increment,

and must loop internally, incrementing the

sequence until the primary value has been reached.

The loop is required because there is no way to

'assign' a specific value to a sequence.

Since the name of the sequence is passed as a

parameter, Oracle cannot pre-compile the procedure

for efficiency. With the addition of the looping

activity required to properly increment the

sequence, the performance of the solution may

impact some environments where a large number of

highly used sequences is the norm.

Sequence replication alternatives

If the performance of sequence replication is a

concern, there are other alternatives to

replication that support primary and standby use

of the same sequence. These alternatives are

currently suggested by Oracle and others

interested in providing sequence coordination

between multiple sites.

1) Assuming the sequence is being used to generate

primary key values, the sequence at each site can

be concatenated with something unique to the site.

For example, use a sequence number concatenated

with the database name, site name or something

similar. This technique allows each site to

maintain a unique 'range' of sequence of numbers.

Each site having a unique range would mean there

would be no value in sending (replicating) changes

of one site's range to another site.

2) Similar to concatenating, each site could

obtain a different range of numbers by having

different starting points, or increment values,

for the same sequence. As an example, the sequence

at one site could start at one and increment by

two to generate odd numbers (1, 3, 5, etc) while

the other site starts at two and generates even

numbers (2, 4, 6 etc). Again, each site would

have a unique range and could avoid any need for

replication.

3) A third option is available to standby

solutions, where the standby site is for read-

only, and does not access the sequence value until

fail-over. Rather than continually replicating a

sequence's value, the value of the sequence at the

standby site could be updated as part of the

failover tasks. After failover and before the

standby allows connection to client applications,

a script or procedure could query the last used

sequence value (based on the last table to use it

for a primary key) and update or redefine the

sequence once, based on that calculated value.

424459 ORACLE ONLY: An update operation to a table

with more than one unique index fails

in Replication Server because the 'where'

clause contains no value.

This problem is related to Oracle behavior,

and what supplemental data is written to the

Oracle redo logs.

If a table has no primary key column defined, and

that table has more than one unique constraint

defined, Oracle will record only one of the

constraint column values in the redo log. The

selection of which column will be logged is

determined arbitrarily by Oracle.

To insure that a table with no primary key

column has the correct primary key designation

in any replication definition for that table,

the replication definition primary key list

should include ALL of the columns represented

by unique constraints. This will allow

Replication Server to use whichever constraint

columns are logged for that table as the

primary key.

430855 Added optional parameter 'zero' to the ra_locator

the 'zero' keyword instructs the Replication

Agent to set the value of the LTM Locator stored

in the Replication Agent System Database to zero.

If the value of the LTM Locator returned from the

primary Replication Server is zero, the

Replication Agent uses the LTM Locator value

stored in the Replication Agent System Database

to determine the point in the transaction log

from which to start reading data.

If the value of the LTM Locator in the

Replication Agent System Database is also zero,

the Replication Agent starts reading the

transaction log based on the database's secondary

truncation point setting.

438563 MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ONLY: RepAgent now supports

the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver version

1.1 (June 2006) along with the DataDirect SQL

Server JDBC driver that is distributed with

RepAgent.

NOTE that in order to replicate from Microsoft

SQL Server 2005 requires that you use the

Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver. To replicate

from Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Sybase recommends

that you also use the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC

driver instead of the DataDirect SQL Server JDBC

driver that is distributed with RepAgent.

If you wish to continue to use the DataDirect SQL

Server JDBC driver, be sure that the RepAgent

property pds_connection_type is set to "MSMERJDBC"

(without the quotes). For details, see the

Replication Agent documentation.

By default, new RepAgent/MsSQL instances that you

create after applying this EBF are configured to

use the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver. You can

use this driver on both Windows and Unix systems.

To use the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver:

--------------------------------------------

1. Obtain the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver

from here (the URL should be all on one line):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?

familyid=f914793a-6fb4-475f-9537-b8fcb776befd&

displaylang=en

Install the JDBC driver on the machine on which

RepAgent is running or where RepAgent can

access it.

2. Before starting the RepAgent, add the location

of the JDBC driver to the CLASSPATH environment

variable:

On Unix:

setenv CLASSPATH /path_name/sqljdbc.jar:$CLASSPATH

where path_name is the path where you installed

the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver.

On Windows 2000 or 2003, go to

Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->System-->

Environment, and add the following to the

existing CLASSPATH environment variable, using

the semicolon (;) as the path separator, or

create the path in the User Variables panel:

drive:\path_name\sqljdbc.jar

where:

drive is the drive letter, and

path_name is the name of the path where you

installed the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver

Click Apply, then OK.

3. For an existing RepAgent/MsSQL instance to pick

up the new value of the CLASSPATH environment:

On Unix, stop the RepAgent instance, define the

CLASSPATH as described in step #2, then restart

the instance.

On Windows, stop the RepAgent, close the DOS

window, open a new DOS window, then restart the

RepAgent instance.

4. For an existing RepAgent/MsSQL instance, in

ADMIN mode, configure the pds_connection_type

to use the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver:

ra_config pds_connection_type, MSSQLJDBC

then stop and restart the existing instance.

For new instances of RepAgent/MsSQL that you

create after applying this EBF, MSSQLJDBC is

the default value.

5. In RepAgent, configure the following properties

(for details, see the Replication Agent

documentation) using values appropriate for the

primary Microsoft SQL Server:

ra_config pds_server_name, <server>

ra_config pds_port_number, <port>

ra_config pds_database_name, <database>

ra_config pds_username, <ra_user>

ra_config pds_password, <ra_pwd>

To use Windows Authentication with the Microsoft

SQL Server JDBC driver:

------------------------------------------------

When running RepAgent/MsSQL on a Windows platform,

you have the option of configuring RepAgent/MsSQL

to connect to Microsoft SQL Server so that it will

use Windows credentials to authenticate the user.

NOTE that this feature is available only when

RepAgent/MsSQL is running on Windows 2000 or

Windows 2003 and requires Microsoft SQL Server

2000 SP 3 (or later) or Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

To use Windows Authentication:

1. In your primary Microsoft SQL Server, add the

<ra_user> as a Windows-authenticated user,

including the user's domain as appropriate.

For details, please refer your Microsoft SQL

Server documentation. Be sure to also add the

<ra_user> to the primary database and grant

appropriate permissions.

2. On the machine on which the RepAgent/MsSQL will

be running, add <domain>\<ra_user> to the

Windows user account. If no domain, then add

just <ra_user> to the Windows user account.

3. On the machine on which the RepAgent/MsSQL will

be running, copy the sqljdbc_auth.dll file from

the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver location

to a directory on the Windows system path.

When you installed the Microsoft SQL Server

JDBC driver, the sqljdbc_auth.dll files were

installed in the following location:

<install_dir>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\auth\

NOTE: On a 32-bit processor, use the

sqljdbc_auth.dll file in the x86 folder. On a

64-bit processor, use the sqljdbc_auth.dll file

in the x64 folder.

4. On the machine on which RepAgent/MsSQL will be

running, login as the <ra_user> and start the

RepAgent/MsSQL instance.

5. Log into RepAgent and configure the

connectivity properties described previously

(up above in step #5), though you can omit

pds_password.

6. Also configure the RepAgent

pds_integrated_security property to "true":

ra_config pds_integrated_security, true

By default, this property is set to "false".

7. Continue configuring/using RepAgent as

described in Replication Agent documentation.

9/13/2006

This issue has been reviewed by engineering and has been closed with the status 'Not to be fixed' and the following explanation for this decision:

We currently do not intend to let the dabase connection user be changed with proxy.

There is only one db user that can be defined in the proxy configuration tool. We do not see why there is a need to deduce the db connection user from the NT user on the client. We do not see which advantadge the customer could have from thid.

Even if this is possible today with a direct connection, this is really not recommended....

Right management in repository is based on repository user not on db user.

445287 Added new Replication Agent command

pdb_setreptable.

Description:

Allows one or more tables to be 'disabled' from

replication. Allows previously disabled tables to

be re-enabled, and allows the current status of

existing tables to be listed.

This command can be used to disable replication

of tables whose content need not be replicated.

Disabling replication in the Replication Agent

overrides the marking status established in the

primary Adaptive Server Enterprise database by

ASE commands sp_setreptable and sp_reptostandby.

Syntax:

To return replication enabled status:

pdb_setreptable {tablename|enable|disable}

To enable, or disable all marked tables:

pdb_setreptable all, {enable|disable}

To enable, or disable a specified table:

pdb_setreptable tablename, {enable|disable}

Parameters:

tablename

The name of a user table in the primary database.

The tablename parameter can be owner-qualified to

include the primary table owner name, with each

element separated by a period. For example:

owner.table

This parameter can be delimited with quote

characters to specify the character case.

If mixed character case (both uppercase and

lowercase) is required, the name must be

delimited. For example:

"Owner".table

"Owner"."Table"

all

A keyword that refers to all tables in the

primary database. By using the all keyword you

can apply an enable or disable operation to

all marked tables.

enable

A keyword that refers to enabling replication for

marked tables.

disable

A keyword that refers to disabling replication

for marked tables.

Usage notes:

If pdb_setreptable is invoked with no parameter,

it returns a list of all marked tables in the

primary database for which replication is

enabled. Note this is the same result returned

when the enable keyword is supplied.

If pdb_setreptable is invoked with a table name,

it returns complete marking information about

the specified primary table.

If pdb_setrepable is invoked with the enable

keyword, it returns a list of all marked tables

in the primary database for which replication is

enabled.

If pdb_setrepable is invoked with the disable

keyword, it returns a list of all marked tables

in the primary database for which replication is

disabled.

If pdb_setreptable is invoked with a table name

and the disable keyword, it disables future

replication of activity which occurs against

the specified marked table.

If pdb_setreptable is invoked with a table name

and the enable keyword, replication is re-enabled

for the specified marked table that was

previously disabled.

When pdb_setreptable is invoked with the all

keyword and an action keyword (enable or disable)

the action specified is applied to all marked

tables in the primary database.

If pdb_setreptable is invoked with the all and

disable keywords, it disables replication for all

marked tables in the primary database.

If pdb_setreptable is invoked with the all and

enable keywords, it enables replication for all

marked tables in the primary database that were

previously disabled.

Note that the output from command pdb_setreptable

contains several columns of information,

including the table's owner, name, mark and

enabled status. Only the result of the 'Enabled'

column can be changed using the pdb_setreptable

command. Other column values are only

informational.

Note that the output from command pdb_setreptable

contains some column values which mimic output

from other Replication Agents and their usage is

not applicable to ASE. The results from these

columns are returned as "N/A".

Examples:

pdb_setreptable authors

This command returns replication marking

information for the table named authors in the

primary database.

pdb_setreptable disable

This command returns replication marking

information for all marked tables for which

replication has been disabled.

pdb_setreptable all, enable

This command enables replication for all marked

tables in the primary database.

pdb_setreptable authors, enable

This command enables replication for the marked

table authors in the primary database.

445288 If the user configures the RSSD login information

incorrectly then resumes replication, the RepAgent

hangs.

445292 When executing "admin stats", RS tries to clear existing stats. If the last statistics run was large, the RS initiates a transaction in the RSSD that will insert rows in the rs_statsdetail table. The RSSD log may suspend causing the RS to hang.
445355 RepAgent for DB2 UDB terminates with user 1402 abend when DB2 returns CCSID zero and the RepAGent's Codepage "force" option is not set on.
445371 ORACLE ONLY: Executing quiesce command during

large LOB processing can causes Replication Agent

to hang.

445413 Username returned from "get maintenance user" command can be incorrect
445432 Create trace for maintenance user and parse the maintenance user from RS to get the correct maintenance username.
445437 Some errors during runtime are logged as "Could

not find Resource Bundle containing index: XXX"

where XXX is a message key.

445592 Though documented, the 2-parameter version of the

pdb_get_procedure_parms is missing. This version

of the command returns the list of all parameters

for a specific owner and procedure.

445606 If an RS server user thread (i.e. ISQL) suspends due to locking issues,

interrupting the RS server user thread with Ctrl-C will sometimes cause

the RS server to terminate immediately.

445691 Transactions done by the maintenance user are replicated.
445759 In a WS environment, if the active

database is not replicating transactions

at the time a switch active is

initiated, when the switch active

completes, changes to the new standby

(former active) database is incorrectly

written into the inbound queue of the

logical connection.

446024 New JREs are required in order to correctly support

the USA's change, effective in March 2007, as to

when Daylight Saving Time starts and stops. The

following JREs, which have the Daylight Saving Time

fix, also have a bug related to the use of the

JISAutoDetect character set:

Solaris SPARC, Linux, Windows: 1.4.2_12

HP PA-RISC: 1.4.2_11

As a workaround, RepAgent currently does not

support this character set on *any* platform.

The JISAutoDetect character set "Detects and

converts from Shift-JIS, EUC-JP, ISO 2022 JP

(conversion to Unicode only)".

446030 rs_subcmp when attempting to reconcile tables with text columns and a the value of the key column include a "%", error messages 105 and 102 are raised reporting "Unclosed quote before the character string '='" and "Incorrect syntax near '='"
446198 Allow ASE specific function strings (especially rs_set_ciphertext) to not be triggered or to not send anything (not even a line terminator or blank) to the target server.
446282 RepAgent for Oracle cannot be worked as Windows Service.

ra.bat cannot be entered into Windows Service.

446289 When First Segment of SQM moves by one transaction, if Rep is rebooted, Block# of First Seg will be set to 1.

But Block# is returned to the correct position, when new transaction begins.

6146 errors will be caused if quiece_check is executed by the way in this state. But this error is mistake.

446410 Output for statistic

"Log reposition point locator"

has an invalid hex value indicator.

446705 High CPU use when Support_DB2_comp_rec=N on non-datasharing environments.
447261 When RA is run as a started task, the started task userid must have sysadm authority on DB2.
447265 sysadmin sqt_dump_queue produces assertion error and stack.
447271 RA DB2 abends with RS 15.0 and use_repdefs = Y.
447318 RS may hang or be non-responsive for a short

interval, due to the incorrect calls to the

non-thread safe routine 'localtime()'. Calls to

this routine are replaced with calls to the

thread safe routine 'localtime_r()'.

447740 Define subscription command with dump marker will put message in RS log indicating that data can be replicated prematurely.
447749 Define MSA subscription without "use dump marker" clause does not replicate data to target.
447765 ORACLE ONLY: RepAgent incorrectly reads the log

record that is generated when a table is altered

by dropping a column with data rows.

447797 This issue appears to be related to CR 396183.

Repository server : MS SQL Server 2000

Target DBMS: DB2 8 common server

Proxy server: PDM with views fails to extract from migrated repository

Customer has upgraded from PD 11.x to PD 12.1.0 EBF2. Via a direct connection to the repository, they can consolidate and extract all models. However, via a proxy server connection, they get the following error message when extracting a PDM:

PowerDesigner � Error

A command sent to the repository proxy failed.

22005 (SQLSTATE [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] Invalid character value for cast specification)

When reviewing the proxy server log, the following warning is documented after this ODBC error:

ExtractModel: Failed when extracting OBJT = xxxxx

Upon querying the PMOBJT table, this object id belongs to a view

For repositories created in v12 or 12.1, this error does not occur.

447973 MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ONLY: Trying to replicate an

ntext column results in the following error:

Failed to Open LOB data stream.

447980 MICROSOFT SQL SERVER ONLY: When a table that

contains a LOB column is marked for replication

and the LOB column is enabled for replication, a

user other than the pds_username user gets an

error when inserting into the primary table.

IMPORTANT: This fix works only for tables that are

marked AFTER this EBF has been applied to

RepAgent. The WORKAROUND for existing marked

tables is the following:

1 In a text editor, open the mark.sql script for

the desired table. The script will be in:

$SYBASE/rax-12_5/<inst>/scripts/<tbl>/installed

where <inst> is the RepAgent instance name and

<tbl> is the table name

2 Find and copy the text for creating the shadow

row procedure to another file.

3 In the new file, edit the shadow row procedure

by owner-qualifying the name of the blob-shadow

row procedure as this snippet indicates:

BEFORE:

=======

SELECT @opid = @@IDENTITY

IF @dummy > 0

BEGIN

EXEC qa3bsrp_d @tranid,@opid,@intype

END

END -- not = 'a'

AFTER:

======

SELECT @opid = @@IDENTITY

IF @dummy > 0

BEGIN

EXEC <rausr>.qa3bsrp_d @tranid,@opid,@intype

END

END -- not = 'a'

where <rausr> is the name you configured in the

pds_username parameter, or possibly 'dbo' if

the <rausr> was granted full SA permissions.

4 Save this file.

5 In SQL Server, lock the primary table to prevent

any modifications (so replication won't lose any

operations or transactions against this table).

6 In SQL Server, drop the existing shadow row

procedure.

7 In SQL Server, re-create the shadow row

procedure using the saved SQL script you edited.

8 In SQL Server, unlock the primary table.

452633 RS negotiation with OCS for encrypted passwords is not working correctly, SVR_ENCRYPT should be evaluated as an integer not bit value. If both SRV_EXTENDED_ENCRYPT and SRV_ENCRYPT are on, Repserver should allow connections even if RS does not support SRV_EXTENDED_ENCRYPT.
452763 Improved system log and trace messaging

performance.

452806 Replication Server may stop replication to a target database due to

an application deadlock with the ASE server when the Replication Server

is configured to use Parallel DSI and is applying transactions to a

table containing TEXT/IMAGE columns.

When this situation occurs, the Replication Server 'admin who' command

will display the Replication Server thread 'DSI EXEC' in either the

thread state 'Awaiting Commit Order' or 'Awaiting Batch Order'. The

thread state of the thread will not change over time.

To correct this issue, suspend and resume the Replication Server DSI

connection. If the Replication Server DSI thread fails to suspend,

re-start the Replication Server.

452894 The commands in a mini rollback section of a transaction are filtered out by Repserver

and never applied at databases replicated through subscriptions. They are not applied

at warm standby databases if the transaction is not a large transaction.

For large transaction replicating to warm standby, if the DSI is fast, the commands

in the mini rollback section may be applied at standby and then rolled back. These

commands may cause error at standby and cause DSI to shutdown. Users should resume

connection to clear out the error.

452899 When using dynamic SQL and Replication Server with warm standby or MSA and the user

creates a repdef which adds columsn to the internal repdef. If the new repdef lists the

columns not in the order listed by the table definition, the column order DSI sends to

the warm standby or MSA will not match the prepared dynamic SQL statement. This could

455337 Improved efficiency in formatting LTL by enabling

the use of table replication definitions when

configuration property use_rssd is set to true

and the Replication Server connection is

configured for warm standby or a database level

replication definition.

Now, in a warm standby or database replication

definition environment and with configuration

property use_rssd set to true, for tables that

have a table replication definition defined in

Replication Server, only the primary key columns

defined in the replication definition will be

used when formatting the LTL before image for

update and delete operations.

Note that this change in behavior could conflict

with any custom Replication Server function

strings that depend on before image column values

for update or delete operations. If custom

Replication Server function strings do have a

dependency on non-primary key columns in the

before image for update or delete operations, the

configuration property use_rssd must be set to

false.

In normal situations, these duplicate transactions should not cause any problems, because the QIDs for the duplicate transactions should be identical to the ones that had already been sent to the RepServer. However, it could create extra network traffic, and delay data replication. This has now been corrected.

463099 ORACLE ONLY: The Replication Agent has been

enhanced to support Replication Server's

"subscribe to truncate table" option.

Previously, the truncate table command was only

replicated from Oracle when DDL replication was

enabled. Now, the truncate table command can be

replicated whether DDL replication is enabled

or not.

With this change in behavior, the truncate table

command is replicated to databases which

explicitly subscribe to truncate table.

For replication environments with table level

replication definitions and subscriptions, each

subscription must be altered to "subscribe to

truncate table."

For replication environments with a database

replication definition, but no table level

subscriptions, the database subscription must be

altered to "subscribe to truncate table."

If the database subscription does include the

"subscribe to truncate table" clause, then any

table level subscriptions that exist must also

include the "subscribe to truncate table" clause.

Please refer to Sybase Replication Server

documentation for more information on subscribing

to truncate table.

463756 ASE ONLY: Mirror Replication Agent now supports

the "interval" type of truncation, in addition to

the already-supported "locator_update" and

"command" types. The two configuration parameters,

truncation_type and truncation_interval, govern

how often truncation automatically occurs.

truncation_type - Configures transaction log

truncation behavior of the Mirror Replication

Agent.

Default: locator_update

Valid Value:

command - Mirror Replication Agent truncates

the transaction log only when the

'pdb_truncate_xlog' command is invoked.

interval - Mirror Replication Agent truncates the

transaction log automatically at the intervals

specified by the 'truncation_interval'

configuration parameter.

locator_update - Mirror Replication Agent

truncates the transaction log automatically

whenever it receives a new LTM Locator value

from Replication Server. The frequency of

these locator updates is specified by the

'lti_update_trunc_point' configuration

parameter.

truncation_interval - Specifies a time interval,

in minutes, between automatic truncations of

the transaction log.

Default: 0

Valid Value: an integer from 0 to 720

Comments:

* If the value of truncation_interval is 0 (zero)

and the value of truncation_type is "interval",

then automatic truncation is disabled.

* The maximum truncation interval is 720 minutes,

or 12 hours.

463813 When there is a lot of activity in the database

log, but none of it is for replication, the

database log will fill up because RepAgent

465186 ORACLE ONLY: Replication Agent failed to

This correction changes the format of the origin

queue ID value used to uniquely identify each

operation to be replicated. The existing format

of the origin queue ID is described in the

Sybase Replication Agent 15.0 Primary Database

Guide, Chapter 3, under section "Format of

origin queue ID".

The new format of the origin queue ID is:

Character Bytes Description

0-3 2 Database generation ID

4-15 6 System change number

16-19 2 System change number sub-index

20-27 4 Log sequence number

28-35 4 Block number

36-39 2 Block offset, relative to the

start of the block

40-47 4 Oldest active transaction begin

log sequence number

48-55 4 Oldest active transaction begin

block number

57-59 2 Oldest active transaction begin

block offset

60-63 2 Available for specifying

uniqueness

In order to correctly implement the change in

origin queue ID format, specific migration

procedures must be followed. Failure to follow

these procedures during installation of this EBF

may result in the sending of duplicate data to

replicate databases.

Migration prerequisites:

1) The primary database environment must be

quiesced during implementation of this EBF.

There should be no database activity generating

data to be replicated.

2) All prior data to be replicated must have

been successful. There should be no

transactions in Replication Server that are 'in

progress' from the primary connection supported

by this Replication Agent.

Migration Steps:

Step 1.

Verify the existing Replication Agent is in a

Replicating state. Use command "ra_status"

to verify:

> ra_status

> go

State Action

------------ ------------------------

REPLICATING Ready to replicate data.

If the Replication Agent is not in a replicating

state, issue the 'resume' command to place the

Replication Agent back in replicating state.

Step 2.

Issue Replication Agent command "quiesce" to

force the Replication Agent to process any

remaining log data and suspend replication once

the end of the Oracle online redo log has been

reached.

Step 3.

Shutdown the Replication Agent using command

'shutdown'.

Step 4.

Verify Replication Server has no outstanding

(un-applied) activity for this Primary database

connection, or its Replicate connections.

If the only Primary and Replicate connections

defined to your Replication Server are for this

Oracle Primary connection and replicates, you

can use Replication Server command

"admin quiesce_check" to verify all activity has

been processed.

> admin quiesce_check

> go

Replication Server prs1 is Quiesced

If the Replication Server is not quiesced, verify

all Replicate database connections are active,

and repeat the command until Replication Server

is quiesced.

If the Replication Server supports multiple

Primary database connections and the Replication

Server can not obtain a quiesced state due to

activity on these other connections, you must

manually verify the inbound queue for this Oracle

Primary connection has been read out, and all

outbound queues for Replicate databases for this

Oracle primary have been read out.

Contact Sybase Technical Support if you require

assistance in determining if all data for your

Primary database has been processed by

Replication Server.

Step 5.

Apply the EBF for this replication agent as

described in the "Loading Instructions" of this

EBF letter.

Step 6,

Start the Replication Agent.

Step 7.

Issue Replication Agent command "ra_migrate".

This command will convert all origin queue IDs

stored within the Replication Agent to the new

format.

> ra_migrate

> go

Server 'my_ra', Procedure 'ra_migrate', Line 1:

successful

Step 8.

Migration is complete. You may now resume

replication in the Replication Agent.

470879 Replication Server fails to replicate an

Update command with error:

Message: 102, State 1, Severity 15 -- 'Incorrect

syntax near 'FAILED'. The message is generated

due to a set clause that has been constructed

as "update ....set ASSERTION FAILED where ..."

The ASSERTION FAILED text is generated when

no before image column data is present to

identify which column or columns is being

updated and no after image data is produced

because the updated columns contain the same

data as they did prior to the update, and the

Replication Definition has the 'send standby

all columns' clause but not the 'replicate

minimal columns' clause.

A new property "ltl_send_only_primary_keys" allows

administrators to control when the Replication

Agent sends only primary key columns data for the

before image for update and delete operations.

ltl_send_only_primary_keys

Description:

Determines whether the Log Transfer Interface

component sends only primary key columns,

or sends all columns, in row before images

for update and delete operations.

Default:

true

Values:

true - sends only the primary key

columns in the LTL

false - sends all the columns in the

LTL

Comments:

- When ltl_send_only_primary_keys is true and

a replication definition exists that

identifies the primary key column(s) for

a table, only the primary key column

value(s) are sent for the before image in

update and delete operations. Sending

only primary key column data reduces the

amount of data sent to Replication Server,

since only primary keys are used to

construct the where clauses for update and

delete operations.

- When ltl_send_only_primary_keys is false,

before image values are sent for all

columns available, regardless of primary

key definition.

- Setting of ltl_send_only_primary_keys to

false, is only recommended when additional

before image values provide benefit, such

as for supporting customer function strings

at the Replicate database, or for resolving

other issues where additional column data

provides benefit.

- Primary keys are defined within a table

level Replication Definition. If

configuration use_rssd is set to false,

the setting of ltl_send_only_primary_keys

has no impact, since Replication Definition

information will not be gathered from the

Replication Server System Database (RSSD).

471803 UDB ONLY: New feature that removes archived log

files from the archive log directory that are no

longer needed by the database and Replication

Agent for UDB.

UDB archives log files to a specified directory

when the "LOGARCHMETH1" database configuration

parameter is set to "DISK:<path>", where "<path>"

is a valid directory path on disk.

Example windows setting:

UPDATE DATABASE CONFIGURATION USING

logarchmeth1 DISK:C:\users\BLL_DB_ARCHIVE\

When UDB archiving is enabled with

"LOGARCHMETH1", a second archive location can be

configured by setting UDB configuration parameter

"LOGARCHMETH2" to "DISK:<path>". UDB will then

archive logs in two directories. Replication

Agent for UDB, however, will only remove archives

from a single directory.

Enabling Replication Agent Truncation

The Replication Agent must be configured to

truncate by setting the Replication Agent

property "truncation_interval" to a value

greater than 0, and by setting the

Replication Agent property "truncation_type" to

a setting that enables automatic truncation.

New Replication Agent for UDB Properties:

Replication Agent for UDB has two new properties:

"pdb_archive_path" and "pdb_archive_remove".

Both are required to enable archive truncation.

Property pdb_archive_path

The directory path that archive logs will be

removed from when Replication Agent for UDB

truncate executes. The path must be a valid

directory path that corresponds with either

"LOGARCHMETH1" or "LOGARCHMETH2" path settings.

If "pdb_archive_remove" is set to true, then

"pdb_archive_path" cannot be set to NULL, an

empty value i.e "", or the default value.

Default Setting:

<not configured>

ra_config pdb_archive_path, default

Sets "pdb_archive_path" to "<not configured>"

Example windows Setting:

ra_config pdb_archive_path, C:\users\BLL_DB_ARCHIVE\

Property pdb_archive_remove

When set to "true", enables archive log removal

when Replication Agent for UDB truncation

executes. Archives are removed from the directory

specified by the "pdb_archive_path" property.

When archive removal is enabled, only archives

are truncated. Logs in the active directory are

not pruned. This property cannot be set to "true"

when "pdb_archive_remove" is NULL, an empty

value i.e. "", or its default value i.e.

"<not configured>".

Default Setting:

false

ra_config pdb_archive_remove, default

Sets "pdb_archive_remove" to "false"

Valid settings:

false, true

471816 ORACLE ONLY: DDL commands with text greater than

default for dynamic_sql_cache_size from 20 to 100 to avoid thrashing in the cache.

"fixed" means once the cache is full, there will be no new prepared statements.

With "fixed", users can always see a performance improvement. With mru, users will

most likely get performance degradation because of thrashing once cache is full.

"mru" is probably only useful in the rare cases where users truly don't have resources

for a larger cache, and they have some tables rarely replicated (so that once these

tables fall off the cache, the most used tables don't get de-allocated).

491430 ORACLE ONLY: Oracle cluster database (RAC)

replication performance degrades significantly

if one or more cluster database instances is

down.

491541 ORACLE ONLY: A table can not be marked for

replication if any of the columns has a datatype

that can not be replicated.

Replication Agent command pdb_setreptable has

been changed to allow marking of tables that

contain column datatypes that are not supported

for replication. This change allows the supported

column data to be replicated, instead of

excluding the entire table from replication.

The "force" keyword option can be added to the

command syntax for any pdb_setreptable command

"mark" request to force the Replication Agent to

mark the table for replication.

When a table has been marked for replication

using the pdb_setreptable command "mark" and

"force" keywords, only columns with supported

datatypes will be replicated. Any column with an

unsupported datatype will be excluded (no data

for those columns with unsupported datatypes will

be sent to Replication Server).

Changes to command pdb_setreptable:

Syntax changes:

To mark a specified table:

pdb_setreptable tablename, mark[, owner][, force]

To mark a specified table for replication with a

replicated name:

pdb_setreptable tablename, repname, mark[, owner]

[, force]

Parameter changes:

force

A keyword that refers to either a mark or unmark

operation.

Note: The combination of the "mark" and "force"

keywords with the pdb_setreptable command is only

valid for Oracle.

When the "force" keyword follows the "mark"

keyword, the pdb_setreptable command will allow a

table that contains one or more columns with

unsupported datatypes to be marked for

replication. No data for the unsupported columns

will be sent to Replication Server. As a result,

any replicate table must have a suitable default

value defined for the unsupported columns, as no

data will be received by the replicate database

for inserts into those unsupported columns.

The force keyword can not be used in combination

with the "all" and "mark" keywords. Tables with

unsupported datatypes must be individually marked

using the pdb_setreptable command and the "force"

keyword.

In addition, tables with unsupported datatypes

are not automatically marked when configuration

property "pdb_automark_tables" is true. Tables

with unsupported datatypes must be individually

marked using the pdb_setreptable command and the

"force" keyword.

Note: If a replication definition is created

using command rs_create_repdef, for a table that

was marked using the "force" keyword, only

columns with supported datatypes will be listed

in the replication definition. Any column with

an unsupported datatype will be excluded from

the replication definition.

Usage changes:

Oracle Only:

If a table contains a column with a datatype that

can not be supported for replication, the

pdb_setreptable command using the "mark" keyword

may fail with an error similar to:

Command <pdb_setreptable> failed - Table

<MYTABLE> could not be marked because:

The table contains an unsupported data type.

To force the table to be marked, excluding the

unsupported datatype columns from replication,

add the "force" keyword to the pdb_setreptable

command.

492186 ORACLE ONLY: Two new Replication Agent commands

have been added that allow the user to obtain

detailed information about database operations

and database operations in a transaction in order

to provide additional trouble shooting

information.

Command ra_helpop

Description:

Command ra_helpop displays database and

Replication Agent information for a specified

operation in order to help trouble shoot a failed

operation, or transaction. The time the operation

executed, the user that executed the operation,

the object name and id, operation type

(i.e. insert, update, or delete), if the object

is marked for replication, and other database

specific information is displayed.

If the Oracle script

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmslm.sql

has not been installed at the primary database,

an error will be reported indicating it must be

installed in order for the ra_helpop command to

properly operate.

If the new permissions that must be granted to

the "pds_username" are not granted at the time

ra_helpop is executed, an error will be reported

indicating the following permission's must be

granted before the ra_helpop command will

properly work:

EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE TO PDS$USER;

SELECT ON V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS TO PDS$USER;

SELECT ON V$LOGMNR_LOGS TO PDS$USER;

SELECT ANY TRANSACTION TO PDS$USER;

Syntax: ra_helpop "opid | locator"

Opid - The Replication Agent operation id for a

database operation

Locator - The Replication Agent locator for a

database operation

Example 1:

ra_helpop

0x0000.01542e48.0001:0001.000002dc.00000004.0010

This command returns operation information for

an operation ID.

Example 2:

ra_helpop

0000000001544ada00060001000002de00000008001000000

000000000000000

This command returns operation information for a

locator.

Usage:

The ra_helpop command returns the following

information for the operation specified by a

locator or operatin ID:

- The Replication Agent operation id in the

format:

wrap.scn.subscn.thread.lsn.block.offset

- The Oracle SCN for the operation as logged in a

redo log file

- The Oracle thread that executed the operation

- The name of the user that executed the

operation

- The date and time the operation executed

- The Oracle database id for the object

- The Oracle object name

- The operation type, i.e. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE

- YES if the object in the operation is marked

for replication by the Replication Agent

- The Oracle id for the transaction the operation

is part of

- The Oracle SQL that can be used to replay the

operation

- The Oracle SQL that will undo the operation

- The Replication Agent command that will cause

the operation to be skipped by the Replication

Agent while replicating

Command ra_dumptran

Description:

Command ra_dumptran dumps all operations for a

specified transaction to an exclusive log file

in order to help trouble shoot a failed

operation, or transaction. The time the

transaction was executed, the user that executed

the transaction, the name of the log the

transaction was dumped to, and additional

database specific information is displayed as a

result set.

If the Oracle script

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmslm.sql

has not been installed at the primary database,

an error will be reported indicating it must be

installed in order for the ra_ dumptran command

to properly operate.

If the new permissions that must be granted to

the "pds_username" are not granted at the time

ra_ dumptran is executed, an error will be

reported indicating the following permission's

must be granted before the ra_ dumptran command

will properly work:

EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE TO PDS$USER;

SELECT ON V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS TO PDS$USER;

SELECT ON V$LOGMNR_LOGS TO PDS$USER;

SELECT ANY TRANSACTION TO PDS$USER;

Syntax: ra_dumptran "opid | locator"

Opid - The Replication Agent operation id for a

database operation

Locator - The Replication Agent locator for a

database operation

Example 1:

ra_dumptran

0x0000.01542e48.0001:0001.000002dc.00000004.0010

This command returns information for the begin

operation in the transaction specified by an

operation ID.

Information for every operation in the transaction

is written to a file in the Replication Agent log

directory. The file is named with the prefix

"XID" followed by the transaction ID and ".log".

Example:

$RAX_DIR/<INSTANCE_NAME>/log/

XID0005.002c.0000002c.log

Example 2:

ra_dumptran

0000000001544ada00060001000002de00000008001000000

000000000000000

This command returns information for the begin

operation in the transaction specified by an

locator.

Usage:

The ra_dumptran command returns the following

information for the begin operation specified by a

locator or operatin ID:

- The Replication Agent operation id for the

transactions begin operation in the format:

wrap.scn.subscn.thread.lsn.block.offset

- The Oracle SCN for the transactions begin

operation as logged in a redo log file

- The Oracle id for the transactions begin

operation

- The name of the user that executed the

transaction

- The date and time the transaction executed

493452 When installing Replication server ESDs over an existing installation, all modules are installed even if they were NOT selected for the original installation.
493530 Customer suggests to provide an option in interface Consolidation , the option allow to

clean up local copy in the Workspace. Though PowerDesigner provides option - "Extract After

consolidation", it is different to clean up the local copy.

493594 Customer would like the ability to update a model in the repository in real time without the need of having to consolidate the model.

Customer's text:

Currently, we are working in a "disconnected" mode in PowerDesigner. We make our updates locally and consolidate with the respository. We would like the additional ability to work in a connected mode with the repository, thus enabling us to update the requirements in real-time when connected to the respository. This may require that we actually lock the requirement, update it and unlock it. In this connected mode, we would not need to consolidate since our updates would be applied directly to the model in the repository.

493622 The Replication Server may fail to

shutdown after being issued the

'shutdown' command. This can occur if

the Replication Server fails to

terminate an associated 'dbltm' process.

An associated 'dbltm' process is created

when the Replication Server is

configured to use an embedded RSSD and a

route exists to a target Replication

Server.

493719 Change RSSD scripts to make all binary columns that rely on the full length of the binary (e.g. rs_locater.qid, rs_lastcommit, etc.) be explicitly declared as 'not null'
493723 Provide trace or configuration parameter that would allow DIST to skip commands automatically if "bad data" cannot be translated correctly by the DIST.
493735 When the Replication Server is sent corrupt data

(e.g. when BCP is incorrectly used at the

primary database), the Distributor thread

successfully detects the corruption and

terminates while the warm standby DSI thread

fails to detect the corruption and replicates

the corrupt data.

493748 The SySAM warning message that reports

that Replication Server functionality

will be disabled on a certain date is

too vague. Specifically, the

Replication Server functionality that

will be disabled is not clearly defined.

The SySAM warning message should

explicitly state that the entire

Replication Server will be disabled.

494064 ORACLE ONLY: Replication Agent generates

replication definition containing incorrect column

length for columns whose datatype is nchar,

nvarchar or nvarchar2.

494192 ORACLE ONLY: ConcurrentModificationException

occurs during skip operations list truncation.
