Multi-Task Problem

[Fernando Gietz]

Hi @Joe-Gill
And the msAnon3 column, does exist in the database?

#desc multicastSessions;

[Sebastian Roth]

@Joe-Gill Sounds like your DB has more issues that what we have fixed last time. But this one sounds really strange! Please run DESC multicastSessions in the mysql command line and post output here.

@Fernando-Gietz

I blame @Tom-Elliott ! Ha! He helped me with it last year and the past few years.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Joe-Gill You can manually add the coloumns to match the schema Fernando posted.

[Joe Gill]

@Sebastian-Roth

I’d need a bit of guidance there as I have little experience working in the DB. But I’m willing to try anything. I have a backup. Ha!

[Sebastian Roth]

@Joe-Gill Ahhhhhhh, I just figured what’s wrong with your DB. Seems like you have used Tom’s working-1.6 branch at some point in time.

Take a look here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/working-1.6/packages/web/commons/schema.php#L3746

Guess you need to manually reverse the last few schema changes you see in the above link. Not sure how far back you need to go. Probably as far as 264.

@Tom-Elliott We really need to get the schema change numbers sorted when I get back from my travels.

[Joe Gill]

@Sebastian-Roth
@Tom-Elliott

Yes, I have used Tom’s working-1.6 branch. I’ll check out the link you posted from github and see if I can’t figure things out.

Thanks for looking at it!

Enjoy your travels!

[Joe Gill]

@Sebastian-Roth
@Fernando-Gietz

Any advice on how to manually reverse the last few schema changes?

Thanks!

[Fernando Gietz]

I will not drop the msShutdown and msMaxwait columns (I don´t know if in this version are neccesary), I will only add the new columns. Try with this:

ALTER TABLE multicastSessions
ADD COLUMN msAnon3 VARCHAR(250) AFTER msNFSGroupID;

ALTER TABLE multicastSessions
ADD COLUMN msAnon4 VARCHAR(250) AFTER msAnon3;

[Joe Gill]

@Fernando-Gietz
@Sebastian-Roth

Fernando’s fix takes it! That worked!

The first statement didn’t produce any results. But the second one did and after I restarted Multicasting, things are working again! Woo Whoo!

Thanks guys! I owe you both a beer!

Cheers!

For the record, if anyone else has this issue…

This was the fix…

ALTER TABLE multicastSessions
ADD COLUMN msAnon4 VARCHAR(250) AFTER msAnon3;
