CS Dept, Ithaca NY Lines: 18 I've already gotten 4 messages from people who started ISIS up and saw messages like this: ISIS pid -7: message read error in log_replay_chkpt ISIS: Detected termination of <../bin/xmgr> This is because the transaction manager creates a log, which it wrote under V1.2 and hence has problems reading under V1.3 (due to the message header format change). The quick fix is to remove the contents of the log directory, e.g.: rm -i logs/* rm: remove XMGR-service? y rm: ... etc ... Actually, I had intended to have ISIS ignore these old logs, but it seems that cl_lmgr.c outsmarted me! Ken
