Error description

  • If you configure SBSPACETEMP to a non-existent space or a
    temporary space or a regular dbspace and try to create a bts
    index you receive an error that looks like this:
    
    (BTSA1) - bts clucene error: IO error: FSE IO cannot open
    /tab1_idx/1048961/segments.new
    
    The error message does suggest there is a problem with a
    chunk/dbspace, but it does not identify which chunk/dbspace.
    There is no warning or error message in the online.log. You can
    turn on debugging but the error messages are essentially the
    same.

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * Users that specify the SBSPACETEMP onconfig variable but do  *
    * not create a corresponding temp sbspace                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * There was no check that the sbspace specified by SBSPACETEMP *
    * existed and was an sbspace. This check was added.            *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    * Upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC6 and above.                          *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • Problem first fixed in IDS 11.50.xC6.  If the sbspace does not
    exist or is not an sbspace, then a warning is issued in the
    online log and the SBSPACETEMP is ignored.
