Recovery DB

[Jared Miller]

Last night we had one of our ADT processes freeze up, and had to reboot and I believe the issue is being caused by an issue related to the recovery DB.

Our master ADT system is Star.  They are also sending DFT^P03 messages on to that thread, but they are not routed to go to any other systems.  However, it seems all those DFTs are remaining in the recovery DB in a message 1 state.

Why would those messages that are not routed to go anywhere be sitting in the recovery DB?  

Thanks

In additiion to that, what’s the best way to get those messages out of the recovery DB?  I would like to prevent another freeze up.  Thanks again!

Jared,

You need to do something with ALL messages coming into the engine.

If there is no destination for the DFT Messages to go, just KILL them.

Jim is right, you need to kill them.  I remember back in Cloverleaf training hearing about this, all messages need a destination.  If I recall, you need to set up a “dummy route” with hcitpsmsgkill executed to wipe out the message.

Hope this helps,

You can also route the unwanted messages back to the inbound (be sure to have the hcitpsmsgkill proc on the route). That way there is no need for a ‘dummy’ thread and route.
