I am running Adabas 6.1.6.02 under Vista Home Premium. It has been running fine on my desktop for about four months.
Yesterday I went to start the demo database, which I had worked with just the day before. I keep the demo database pristine, no updates of any form to the demo files except for “transient” updates (and not many of them) which I promptly follow with BACKOUT TRANSACTION.
I received an error message that the startup of the database failed, followed by the following info.

Did a Verify on the database, and that seems to suggest everything is okay.
Yes, I could delete the database and reload it from the CD. That would not explain the error, though. I am curious whether something is amiss within Adabas that might impact my two other databases, both of which still start up with no problems.
Any suggestions as to what might be wrong, and/or suggestions as to how to recover should this happen again (short of actually re-installing the database) to the demo database or the other two databases.
Thanks,
steve
