Failure Definition


Altibase classifies the definition of failures as urgent failure/non-urgent failure. The definition of this type of failure is a matter to be consulted with the user, but is generally classified as follows.

Classification              

Description

Urgent failure                         

System or Altibase product problem preventing service from continuing

 

Non-urgent failure

System or Altibase product problem or other reasons, the service is running but may cause some problems.

For urgent failures, technical support provided according to the maintenance contract. However, non-urgent failure requires a direct response from the user by providing various guides that the user can cope with.

Urgent Failure


Urgent failure is defined in the following situations.

Type                                       

Definition

System abnormality

If the system does not operate due to a hardware/software problem

 

Altibase abnormality

If it does not operate due to a bug in the Altibase


The case where the service is interrupted due to the above two situations is defined as an urgent failure.

When such a situation occurs, the user must provide the following information to Altibase.

Information to provide

Acquisition method

System log

Refer to the "Failure due to system problem" section in this document.

 

Altibase trace log

All files located in $ALTIBASE_HOME/trc

 

Specification at the time of failure

Abnormal signs and DB operation history at the time of failure.


The above information is sent to the Altibase Technical Support website, http://support.altibase.com/en/, it can be used to determine the cause of the problem at the Altibase Technical Headquarter. ($ALTIBASE_HOME refers to the installation path of Altibas product installed in the system.)

Shell> echo $ALTIBASE_HOME
 
If the above command is executed in the user account that installed Altibase, the installed path can be checked.

Procedure in case of urgent failure


  1. First, check the existence of Altibase's process.

    Shell> ps -ef  |  grep "altibase -p boot from"  |  grep -v grep
    
    If it is running normally, one Altibase process is confirmed with the above command.                                                                                                                                             

    If it is in normal operation, check whether the connection is available with the following command.

    Shell> is or isql –u [db user id] –p [db user password] –s 127.0.0.1 –port [port_no]

    ex) isql -u sys -p manager -s 127.0.0.1 -port 20300

    This command can be used when the Altibase user environment is applied.

  2. if the Altibase process is not confirmed or connection is not available in step 1, take the following actions.

    1. Collect and attach the necessary logs and information, then inquire to http://support.altibase.com/en/. (Refer to the information provided in the Urgent Emergency section)
    2. Contact Altibase Technical Support (+82-2-2082-1114)
  3. If the Altibase needs to be restarted, execute the command with the user account that installed Altibase as follows.

    Shell> server kill (If it is confirmed that it has already shut down in step 1, there is no need to execute it.)
    Shell> server start
    The first command is to forcefully shut down Altibase. The second command is to start Altibase.

    The above command can be executed only with the user account that installed Altibase.
