Recovering from Buffer Pool Errors

If the validation of the converted Unicode storage control file fails because the buffer pool sizes specified in the storage control file are too small, you must correct the errors in the storage control file and run the validation process again. This topic describes how to correct buffer pool errors.

To recover from buffer pool errors

1. Open the Siebel Database Storage Configurator as described in About Modifying Storage Control Files.
2. Import the storage control file you previously converted to Unicode (storage_uni.ctl) as described in Converting the Storage Control File to Unicode.

   NOTE:  When importing the Unicode storage control file, ensure you specify No when you are prompted to select whether or not you want to import row lengths.

3. Click Functions, and then Tools.
4. Click the Repair BP Validation button.
5. Navigate to the directory containing the log file listing the buffer pool errors and open this file. The default directory is SIEBSRVR_ROOT\log\dbconfig_validate_mf\output (Windows) or SIEBSRVR_ROOT/log/dbconfig_validate_mf/output (UNIX).
6. The Siebel Database Storage Configurator updates the buffer pool sizes. When this process completes successfully, click OK.
7. Export the updated file, save it, and validate it again as described in Step 17.

   NOTE:  Ensure that you save the file with the same name it had when you imported it.
