Multiplex issues
CR# Description

  • Emergency shutdown on secondary servers after CREATE TEXT INDEX – A secondary server goes into emergency shutdown, when:
    • It is started with the -sf external_library_full_text flag, which disables loading of external libraries, and

    • The user issues a CREATE TEXT INDEX statement on the coordinator with a text configuration that uses external libraries.

    All other servers replay the DDL successfully.
  • Workaround – Start secondary nodes in the multiplex without the -sf external_library_full_text flag.

  • Emergency shutdown on secondary servers after creating a proxy table – A timing problem may cause an emergency server shutdown when a user accesses a new proxy table on a secondary server.
  • Workaround – Either reconnect or wait for some time and start another transaction, before trying to use a newly-created proxy table.

  • Physical file not deleted by DROP DBSPACE – Within a multiplex environment on Windows, if you execute DROP DBSPACE <dbspace_name> on a coordinator, the dbspace file may not be physically removed, if the file is locked by the secondary nodes. No error is reported to the client. The IQ message file (.iqmsg) of the coordinator records this error:
    I. 02/25 11:20:58. 0000000060 DropDBSpacePhysicalFile
    I. 02/25 11:20:58. 0000000060 Exception Thrown from
    hos_bio.cxx:1228, Err# 6, tid 398 origtid 398
    I. 02/25 11:20:58. 0000000060    O/S Err#: 26, ErrID:
    518 (hos_bioexception); SQLCode: -1006062, SQLState:
    'sQBA62', Severity: 14
    I. 02/25 11:20:58. 0000000060 [20300]: OS error 26
    reported on file C:\users\mpx_tablespaces\mpx\size_dbsp_0tb.
  • Workaround – Manually delete the file from the file system after dropping the dbspace.
