Update snapshot encountered errors

Question

Hi All,
We encountered errors when updating snapshot using adadmin.
About to attempt instantiating the current-view snapshot: Fri Jul 20 2012 21:55:22
Invalid Release :
Error in calling adphistRlseExists for
AD Administration error:
Error calling adusnapInstCurrVwSnapshot
AD Administration error:
Error calling adusnapGetSnapshotId
AD Administration error:
Error calling adusnapGetCurViewSnapshotId
Failed to store APPL_TOP Snapshot to tables
adusnapMaintainSnapshot() : Error calling adusnapUpdateCurrentView2()
Error calling adusnapPartialCurVw()
Error calling adusnapMaintainSnapshot
Time is: Fri Jul 20 2012 21:55:22
It seems some records are missing.
SQL> select APPL_TOP_ID,name from ad_appl_tops;
APPL_TOP_ID NAME
1 tan
2 tfw
45 GLOBAL
47 adela501p
21 PRESEEDED
1048 adela500p
6 rows selected.
SQL> col SNAPSHOT_NAME for a20
SQL> select snapshot_name,appl_top_id from ad_snapshots;
SNAPSHOT_NAME APPL_TOP_ID
CURRENT_VIEW 1
CURRENT_VIEW 2
CURRENT_VIEW 47
Is there any way to re-create the snapshot if we are lose some records.
Thanks,
Kevin

Answer 1

1. Check if AD_APPL_TOPS has the right entry for APPL_TOP.
-- Take a backup of AD_APPL_TOPS, remove the entry of the invalid apl_top_id.Can you update the forum with the contents of AD_APPL_TOPS and the backup of AD_APPL_TOPS table?
-- modify the XML file in appl_top/admin to have APPL_TOP_NAME correct. (if its not correct).Is this correct?
-- Run adconfig.sh (only needed if appl_top_name is not correct).Did it complete successfully?
2. Take a backup of AD-SNAPSHOTS table, modify to have the entry of the corrcet APPL_TOP_ID.
3. Run adadmin,
-- This will create the snapshot for the correct appl_top_id can cross check it from ad_snapshots table.Have you verified this?
Thanks,
Hussein
