Kernel (disp+work) hangs

[george_hamilton]

Hello,

I've been involved in a complete system restore (as a test), but when I try to do the simple check on the kernel, dispwork, I don't get a response. The dispwork command basically hangs at the command line. Other executables, such as R3trans, don't work either. But, commands like brtools work.

I've been checking what I can, but it's difficult when it won't even give me an error log. Could this be a library issue? I'm just trying to get a basic test for the kernel so I can start the system.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

what is your database and version?

Did you check the trans.log when you execute R3trans -d?

Is your kernel matched with the HW platform and its same as working systems in your landscape?

what happens when you start the system?

Probably logs can provide additional info in the work directory.

It's Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris SPARC 64bit. SunOS 5.1

There is no trans.log. The command hangs, there is no output.

The kernel matches the hardware and it is working in the original system as this is a restore.

You can't start the system as it never passes the "R3trans -d" check.

No logs are written. There is no output

Hi,

Login to OS with SIDADM and run the following command.

file R3trans

Provide the output in forum.

Thanks

Check the env variables, also check the permission on the kernel directory...

What user are you logged with?

Hello George,

If we talk about Windows OS, perhaps this issue is either caused by a missing or out-of-date Microsoft runtime DLL for your Kernel.

If so, please check following Notes ?

Dear George,

Can you attach the output (if exists) of 'disp+work -V'?.

Best regards,

Rafael

Thanks for the quick reply. That's the problem, I don't even get anything from the "dispwork -V" output. It just hangs with no response when I enter "dispwork". I mean, the command prompt never even comes back. I don't know what to check when I can't even get a log file.
