Missing blob offset in the function TXgetblob

Post by valery »

Hi,

we are using commercial Webinator on our site. During the last walk, we run out of disk space and as a result got:
---------------------
Missing blob offset in the function TXgetblob
---------------------
when we tried to index new pages (though indexing didn't fail completely).
Also, when we tried search on that updated index, texis sent us as a search result 1.4MB file filled with the following string:
---------------------
<!-- 105 /BIOZAK/webinator/biozaksearch:517: Missing blob offset in the function TXgetblob -->
---------------------

Questions:
1. Can we recover our database without re-walking (it's about 500,000 pages so rewalking is a major pain)?
2. Can we disable 1.4MB output in a resulting HTML file?

Thanks,
Valery,

You can write your own putmsg function to not display output, however I'm not sure that is the best plan.

With the full Texis you could recover the data which was actually written to the table. If you know when it happened you could delete the records with a Visited time after that time, and leave the rest intact.
