Hi,
Perhaps its you configuration that is buggy?
I checked on my own SmartCenter now and of the 238 revisionsI got there now
none was missing.
Note that this is not P-1, but perhaps it's a bit early to call it buggy.
Regards,
Torkel

Emne: [FW-1] Database Revision Control
just have a story I want to share with everyone. This is
especially true for those who are familiar with database
revision control.
I have a P-1 NG with AI r55w. Everytime I push the policy
from a CMA to an enforcement module, i always create a new
database revision control so that if something go wrong,
I can revert back to my last "known good" configuration.
Everytime I created a new revision control the GUI message
told me that a revision control is successfully created. The
problem is that when I go into the $FWDIR/conf/db_versions/repository
direrctory of that particular CMA, I see a directory with
a particular number, like 72, is created but inside that
directory, I am not seeing the file ckp_mgmt_version.tar.gz
or if that file exists, the file size is zero. The problem is really
crapshoot, it works about 70% of the time. In other words, about
70% of the directory undere repository have the file and proper size
while the other 30% does not. Go figure.
I guess what I am trying to say is that you should NEVER
rely on the message from the SmartConsole to tell you that
a database revision control is successfully created. The
reality is that it may not create the file that you
expected. You should write your own script to check for
it. Otherwise, you will be sorry when you need to rollback
something and find out that the file is not there.
Thanks for writing buggy software checkpoint.
