The description for Event ID ( 281 ) in Source ( InterBase Guardian ) cannot be found
ABF
Running a Delphi 7 app on IB 6.02 on Windows 2000 Server.
I get the following messages after which the ibserver.exe terminates as
indicated in b) below, why is this and how can it be fixed. They appear in
the "Systems Errors Applications" event-log. They also appear at the same
time in the interbase.log.
a) The description for Event ID ( 251 ) in Source ( InterBase
Guardian ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary
registry information or message DLL files to
display messages from a remote computer. The following information is
part of the event: Server Started: Guardian starting: C:\Program
Files\Borland\IntrBase\bin\ibserver.exe.
b) The description for Event ID ( 281 ) in Source ( InterBase
Guardian ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary
registry information or message DLL files to
display messages from a remote computer. The following information is
part of the event: Abnormal Termination: C:\Program
Files\Borland\IntrBase\bin\ibserver.exe: terminated abnormally (-1).
c) The description for Event ID ( 251 ) in Source ( InterBase
Guardian ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary
registry information or message DLL files to

The messages IB puts in the event log are useless.

This means the server crashed. You need to look at what was happening
just before the crash.

EventID (281) in Source ....". IBServer.exe crash at that same time. Can
they cause ibserver.exe to crash, or is there maybe another cause. (This
message also appears for Norton Anti Virus). Is it something in the
Operating System (Win 2000), or the IB 6.02 installation that is causing
this.
Here they are again. I get the following messages at the same time in the
following log files.

I must just mention, I also get "two preceding" 10054 messages in the
interbase log before ibserver crash.
Thanks

More info, the app is running also at other sites, but the problem
consistently appears at one site.

This is a network problem, which can occasionally cause a crash (but
usually doesn't). With IB 7.5.1, the server would tell you which
client's connection experienced the error, if known. With IB 6, you
have to guess by disconnecting clients / hubs until the issue goes
away. Once you've narrowed it down you can replace cables, hubs, and
NICs until the error goes away.

It seems that there are two different problems at this client of ours.
The two messages are:
1) "General SQL error, Cant complete network request..."
2) "The description for Event ID ( 281 ) in Source ( InterBase Guardian )
cannot be found
when message 2) appears in the Event Log ibserver.exe crash.
For message 1) I did a Backup & Restore and they could then continue. Why
will a Backup & Restore resolve a message like "General SQL error, Cant
complete network request...", and what is causing message 1).
Thanks

are thrown out, which is causing the "General SQL error, Cant complete
network request..." message. I just have to find out why IB 6.02 is crashing
on Windows 2000 Server. As I said the crash occurs at the same time as the
message "The description for Event ID ( 281 ) in Source ( InterBase
Guardian )
cannot be found". So I need to find out what this error code 281 is, because
that is the error code for which no description was found.
Thanks a lot

From several messages I found that for "Event ID (281)" turning of sweeping
(or changing its value), is resolving the problem, as well as a Backup &
Restore.
Is this maybe an IB 6.02 bug?
Thanks

sweeping but in software that old who knows. Most users turn automatic
sweeping off and run sweeps manually during low load periods because
sweeping in old versions of IB can have a big impact on performance.
