Known Issues

For client version 14.0 or older, there is a possibility that the redo log will be corrupted and not available for system recovery.

This can only happen if all of the following conditions are true:

  • The client system is version 14.0 or older

  • AND the server-side system is a later release of 14.2 or higher

  • AND the old client did a Change operation.

  • AND the redo log exceeds RAM capacity and goes to the hard drive,.
