Re: Can PowerGen corrupt .pbls?

We are using PowerGen 7.5 to compile several PB 11.5 apps on a Windows 2003 server.  Twice over the last couple of months, one or more objects within a .pbl either would not regenerate or would cause PB to crash when attempting to open them.  We don't have PowerGen setup to recreate .pbls or to connect to source control.

Is .pbl corruption by PowerGen a possibility? Could this happen if we accidentally ran multiple PowerGen instances, each compiling a different source area?

Thanks,

Re: Can PowerGen corrupt .pbls?

Hi Don,

I have never seen a case where PowerGen corrupts a PBL (but I'm open to any possibility).  Is this reproducible?

Regards,

Phil

Re: Can PowerGen corrupt .pbls?

Thanks for your reply, Phil.  No, this is not reproducible.  I was looking for your opinion on the likelihood of PowerGen being the culprit.  It's also possible our disk array is starting to go bad. 

If it turns out PowerGen is responsible and we can reproduce, I'll arrange to send you a test case.

Thanks,
Don
