gfix Error Messages

The following table describes gfix Database Maintenance Error Messages:

Error Message	Causes and Suggested Actions to Take
Database file name <string> already given	A command-line option was interpreted as a database file because the option was not preceded by a hyphen (-) or slash (/). Correct the syntax.
Invalid switch	A command-line option was not recognized.
Incompatible switch combinations	You specified at least two options that do not work together, or you specified an option that has no meaning without another option (for example, `-full` by itself).
More limbo transactions than fit. Try again.	The database contains more limbo transactions than `gfix` can print in a single session. Commit or roll back some of the limbo transactions, then try again.
Numeric value required	The `-housekeeping` option requires a single, non-negative argument specifying number of transactions per sweep.
Please retry, specifying <string>	Both a file name and at least one option must be specified.
Transaction number or “all” required	You specified `-commit`, `-rollback`, or `-two_phase` without supplying the required argument.
-mode read_only or read_write	The `-mode` option takes either read_only or read_write as an option.
“read_only” or “read_write” required	The `-mode` option must be accompanied by one of these two arguments.
