Issue: Mature version 9.1e character base application ... simple schema change generating core dumps with kmkinit idx errors when attempting to either: a) load a df file or b) manually update the schema in the RRE Background: - added a date field to a table that tracks user logins (initial value ?) - added this new field to a new index via the RRE - Data Dictionary - Schema - Edit Index - any attempt to accept/apply the new index causes a core dump with a kmkinit idx error - any attempt to load a df file also causes a core dump with a kmkinit idx error - there are several area's assigned to this db ... tried assigning this index to an area not currently used by the specific table - ProKB only references kmkinit as some v11.0 temp-table issue ... this KB reference doesn't sound like it is related to the error I am receiving - as a work around, I was able to add the index as inactive ... then successfully activated the index using idxbuild from the OS command line - 18+ years of working with Progress and never seen this issue before - we had a 3rd party do some maintenance on the db recently but they are not aware of doing anything that would cause this - kmkinit is not listed anywhere in _index and is not part of the application so expecting this is some Progress internal process Questions: 1) is this an error anyone has seen before? 2) is there some diagnostic/log/trace I can run or view to help identify the source of this process error? ultimately the biggest concern is this error may have implications beyond just a simple schema change Thank-you in advance for your time.
