Hi, all!
I've encountered a problem while i was loading a dump.

Dump was performed with compress level 6.
after dump was ready it was uploded to another server where
we store our dumps via ftp.

Today i've downloaded the made dump back to ase server and
tried to loaded it. Failed.

I get such errors:

Backup Server session id is: 59. Use this value when
executing the 'sp_volchanged' system stored procedure after

Is it possible to load dump in ASE ESD 9.1 which was
originaly made in ASE ESD8?

Thanks.

Alexander,
Compress is very platform dependant. Are the two machines running the exact same Operating System?
Compress cannot be used for cross platform dump and load. i've tried and failed.

Going from ESD 9 to ESD#8 should be ok but not guaranteed. ASE 12.5.4 had some backupserver changes introduced.

FYI - the newer form of compression ("dump... with compression=6") is preferred by Sybase folks going forward.
You will get the benefit of greater support by switching. I switched 3+ yrs ago.

Thanks for respond.
Machines are identical, RHEL 5.3 64 bit. On both ASE 12.5.4
ESD#9.1 is installed, dump were made with 6 compression.
I've read that it could be because ftp transfers in ascii by
default, i didn't know about this. We store dumps on
different server (Win2003R2 32 bit ) on which i upload dumps
from linux servers via ftp. Few days ago i tried to load a
dump and received such error. I uploaded dump from win ftp
client in binary mode and this could cause a problem, but
then i downloaded a dump from linux in ascii mode. After
that i was managed to load one dump, but it was only once.
When i tried to restore other dumps i get such error.

One thing to check is to make sure your $SYBASE/SYBASE.sh environment
variables are sourced before the backup server is started.

Something like:

. $SYBASE/SYBASE.sh
cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install
./startserver -f RUN_SYBBACKUP


I've seen where the backupserver is started without the correct environment
variables set and the compression libraries aren't found by backupserver
when attempting backup/restore. Or sometimes, the backup server is running
under a different account (like "root") where the environment for SYBASE is
not set.

Thank you, Kevin.
SYBASE environment variables are set. ASE is installed in
/opt/sybase, so when i issued cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE and
then pwd i get /opt/sybase/ASE-12_5
I've stopped backupserver and then issued
/install/RUN_servername_BS
then i examined the BS log and found nothing special which
could signalize that BS server had not found something he
needs for correct work. And it's nothing to say all this
commands i issued under sybase user in rhel.
I also can say that i copied SYBASE.sh in /etc/profile.d and
make SYBASE.sh available for readind for sybase user.
In BS log i found nothing about incorrect run of dump
work(when dump database was performed). No signal that space
on hdd is insufficient or whatever else. So in this case i
think that my dumps are ok. The one thing that i think is
ftp. As i said i upload my dumps on another server via ftp,
and it was made in ascii mode as default mode of ftp
transfering. I have an sh script that opens an ftp
connection with win ftp service and then uploads dumps. Then
i downloaded dump from win server also in ascii mode on
another linux box and tried to load dump and failed. But one
dump i load. Maybe it depends on size of dumps. Dump that
i've loaded was not verry big, approximately 350 Kb. And now
i tried to load a dump wich is 7.5 Gb in size.

I've seen where the backupserver is started without the
correct environment variables set and the compression
libraries aren't found by backupserver when attempting
backup/restore. Or sometimes, the backup server is
running under a different account (like "root") where
the environment for SYBASE is not set.
respond. Machines are identical, RHEL 5.3 64 bit. On
both ASE 12.5.4 ESD#9.1 is installed, dump were made
with 6 compression. I've read that it could be because
ftp transfers in ascii by default, i didn't know about
this. We store dumps on different server (Win2003R2 32
bit ) on which i upload dumps from linux servers via
ftp. Few days ago i tried to load a dump and received
such error. I uploaded dump from win ftp client in
binary mode and this could cause a problem, but then i
downloaded a dump from linux in ascii mode. After that
i was managed to load one dump, but it was only once.
When i tried to restore other dumps i get such error. >

FYI - the newer form of compression ("dump... with

Hello,

The dump is a binary file so I would do all ftp'ing in binary mode.
When ftp'ing in ascii mode from one platform to another, FTP will
append \r\n and possibly strip it. Binary mode will leave the file
untouched.

Thank you, Neal!
Is it possible to remove this \r\n from dump file?
But I do not understand why i was able load one dump while
other couldn't. This 2 dumps were maid on linux box than
ftp'ing to windows server and then ftp'ing to another linux
box. One i loaded another not. They are different in size,
it's true, but i don't think it's the case. Databases were
without user segments, they were dumped with the same
options, etc.

While you could probably use some sort of binary file editor to make such changes ... how would you know which \r\n
strings are valid and which are invalid? ... how would you know what other hex values may need to be
removed/modified/added? ... how much work is it going to be to modify 100's of MBs (GBs) of dump files?

It'll be a lot easier to make sure you don't need to modify the dump files to begin with, eg, make sure you're
performing *all* of your ftp's in binary mode.

box.
You've previously mentioned that the windows->linux ftp was performed in ascii mode ... that could explain 1 reason why
the file could not be loaded.

If you're saying that you had another dump file that went through this same linux->windows->linux ftp tango, and said
file loaded successfully ... I'd guess that a) you got lucky or b) both ftp's were conducted in binary mode.

Have you verified that the dump files are the same *exact* size on all 3 platforms? If they are different sizes then
one of the ftp's was probably performed in ascii mode.

NOTE: When I say *exact* size I'm talking about the file size down to the byte; eg, instead of a file size of 5,752KB
(invalid) you want to look at the file size as 5,890,048 bytes (valid). ("Duh, Mark!" ?)

------------

I'd suggest you start over from scratch ...

- forget the dump files you currently have on hand

- perform a new (compressed) dump from the original linux dataserver

- ftp the dump file to the windows machine using binary mode (check and double check that you're using binary mode)

- verify that the dump files are the same *exact* size on both machines

- ftp the dump file to the final linux machine using binary mode (check and double check that you're using binary mode)

- verify that the dump files are the same *exact* size on both machines

- try to load the database dump file

If at this point you still cannot get the dump file to load, then post the contents of the backupserver's errorlog
and/or open a case with Sybase TechSupport.

Hello,

As Mark said, there may be valid carriage return/line feed sequences in the dump data
so I would be very hesitant using a utility like "dos2unix" to strip them out.

You can see if there were carriage return line feeds by using the "od" command.
od -c pubs2.dmp | grep "\\r \\n" | more

Notice the size of my original dump file on Solaris:
% ls -l pubs2.dmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 nstack sybase 3371008 Oct 6 13:58 pubs2.dmp

After I transfer it to my PC in "ascii" mode the size increases due to the added CR/LF:
C:\Temp>dir pubs2.dmp
Volume in drive C is Drive_C
Volume Serial Number is 70AA-7A9D

Directory of C:\Temp

10/06/2009 01:45 PM 3,376,842 pubs2.dmp

Depending on the FTP program you are using and it's settings, it may or may not add the CR/LF:
ftp> help cr
cr toggle carriage return stripping on ascii gets
