Pack command

[omni]

We use the pack command, and have for years, but recently on newer,faster systems it seems to cause more and more errors.

Has anybody else reported or found this to be an issue?

We use it on a limited number of files..ones that constantly get deleted records that need to be purged after certain processes.

error message just says

error description : D
error gencode: : 8999
error operation: dbpack

No idea what "D" means, but its consistent.

Thanks

Don't know the cause of the problem. We don't experience this with ADS. But you want to consider instead using a for !deleted() clause on your tag and do record recycling. We have moved more to this instead of packing.

Does this happen if you move the file to a local drive instead of a network drive?

Never attempted to move to a local drive, and probably would not for the clients in the field. We never get the error here.
We stopped packing on our system reindex, just have it as an option to clear out all deleted records, all files. (about 300 files).
We have about 4 that we pack on a regular reindex, which is ok.

Just when running the app, lots of users and the memory useage on the w/s is probably up.

Thats ok...just was wondering.

I'm thinking it may be a network error. That's why I asked the question.
