Error: "Aborted FC-20633 Direct path export failed at row 1" during fastcopy (4332423)

When running fastcopy against a table containing LONG column, and CHAR (1 CHAR) column, in a database which uses multi-byte Character set such as AL32UTF8, an error: "Aborted FC-20633 Direct path export failed at row 1" is encountered.

Reorg script contains:

Column length = 2 (min,max)=(4,4)
thread complete
AbortScript()

Fast_copy has a problem with a column having datatype CHAR (1 CHAR) in a database with a multi-byte character set.

WORKAROUND:

Ensure to run the quest_spc_find_long procedure to check whether the table has short values in the LONG column. If it has short values in the LONG column, the table can be reorg without using FAST_COPY. For instructions on how to check if the table has long values in the LONG column, go to Space Manager menu, Help | Search tab, and search for "populate the find long longs table".
 

STATUS:

Waiting for a fix in a future release of Space Manager with LiveReorg.
