We run DBMS V6.1.2 and periodically
receive the message “DBM-F-TERMINATE,” followed by a database
shutdown. Why?
A:
We have seen this at
a few sites. The problem occurs due to a bug in the DBMDBR and the
RDMDBR image that causes the recovery process to fail with
"%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation." A patch is available from Oracle for DBMS V6.1, and
was fixed in DBMS v7.0.3. For Rdb, it was corrected in v6.1.
