3099   Database file header record is invalid

Cause

This error occurs if the file header record has incorrect leading or trailing tag and length values. This normally indicates a physical file corruption.

Action

Take the database offline as soon as possible and use the Certify Files command from the Operations menu in the JADE Database utility to analyze the database. Results of the analysis are recorded in the certify.log file. Save a copy of the damaged database files, the transaction journal files, the JADE messages log file (jommsg.log), and the certify.log file.
