Dbvrep Console Output Malformed on Solaris

Problem Description

On a Solaris platform, the dbvrep console might show malformed output like:

dbvrep> unprepare table ahorejsp.segments
Kables listed.--------------------------------[Table unprepared (1 internal records).]

or

dbvrep> prepare table AHOREJSP.TABLES
KLY IS running. Currently at plog 1928 and SCN 0 (01/01/1988 00:00:00).9:55).pires in 15 days
...

Solution

This happens because of the default STATUS_BAR output configuration variable. The default is STATUS+LIST.

If you disable the LIST from the STATUS_BAR, the output of the console should look better:

dbvrep> set STATUS_BAR=status
Variable STATUS_BAR set to status for process *.
dbvrep> unprepare table AHOREJSP.TABLES
Connecting to running mine [AHOREJSP.TABLES]: [Table unprepared (1 internal records).]
Connecting to running apply:[Apply table removed (103122529 metadata record(s)). Apply table added (0 metadata record(s)).]
Table AHOREJSP.TABLES processed. (no counter resync)

See: https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ugd7/Configuration+Variable+Reference for more info about the STATUS_BAR variable.

There may still be some output errors:

The best way of getting rid of the malformed output is to start the dbvrep console with

-no-termcap

:

See: https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ugd7/Command+Console wiki page for more info about the

-no-termcap

option of the dbvrep command.
