ARCSERV 11.1 error "unable to add job to database"

Hello,

We had a databse corruption that was causing the application to hang. We find some info and delee the queue and in the database folder deleted the "r" files (we had 4) some people reported more than that with the same issue.

Now the backups seem to run fine but it ends with a status of incomplete and in the log th first thing you see is an error "unable to add job to database E=-2005).

Any ideas?

Hi there,

I agree with dovidmichel..  try initialising the arcserve database first (server admin -> Database Engine -> Operations -> Initialise Database...)

If this doens't work, then try to modify your job and make sure those files which has been deleted don't still appear to be selected in the backup job

Hello,

The initialize database option is grayed out. Any thoughts?
nevermind...was able to run..waiting for results now.
Thanks so much for your help. Initializing the DB did the trick.

Regards
