FIMS Database Keeps Stopping

The FIMS database will crash for many reasons, here are some of the more common ones:

1. The database extents have reached their maximum and need to be adjusted. To check database extents, do the following:

• Run the FIMS database Health Audit

What is the FIMS Database Health Audit Feature and how do I Use it?

• Check the found.lg file and note any errors that occur. The found.lg file is located in npo\found\fims\dbfiles. Errors with extents are also noted there.

2. The database has become corrupt

• Another symptom of this is that database backups will not complete
• Check the found.lg file and note any errors that occur. With database corruption, you will see a message like the following:

'System Error: Wrong dbkey in block.....'
'Corrupt block detected when attempting to release a buffer'
