Fatal ISAM error IS path.C error invoking startserver; some data managers do not start.
fatal isam error.c(78) invoking dcheck on trn isam pair.
Note: dcheck is an isam file integrity check/repair utility.
Symptom
Data managers will not start.
Fatal ISAM error IS path.C
fatal isam error.c(78)
Cause
Corrupt trn isam pair.
Resolving the problem
Using isops, unload trn records, create an empty trn isam pair and load trn records into empty trn isam pair; trn.dat and trn.idx files reside in $EDI_ROOT.
1. Log in as Gentran User ID
2. cd $EDI_ROOT
3. Make backup copies of trn.dat and trn.idx
4. isops -u -f trn > trn.unl (this unloads trn isam)
5. rm trn.dat trn.idx
6. isops -l -f trn < /dev/null (this creates new, empty trn isam)
7. chmod 775 trn* (Ensures permissions are at least 775)
8. isops -l -f trn< trn.unl (this loads trn.unl created in step 4)
