Re: Rollforward of logs failing

In Response To: RE: Rollforward of logs failing (Schleicher, Keith)

Great news! I suppose I don't have to have to tell you that 9.40 is VERY
out-of-date and out-of-support. You REALLY should plan an upgrade to a
supported release (11.50.xxx or 11.70.xxx). Not only are these versions
supported and provide many new features that can improve performance for
you, but they are faster by a significant margin than v9.40.
