1. Copy all remaining non-corrupt after image files to a safe location, if needed. The corrupt ai files are irrecoverable.
$ rfutil <dbname> -C aimage list
Will report usually the same ai corruption error messages on ai files that are irrecoverable
2. Disable After Imaging
$ rfutil <dbname> -C aimage end
3. Remove all ai files then add them back to the database structure. It is imperative that AI files are removed.
$ prostrct remove <dbname> -a
$ prostrct add <dbname> addai.st
3. Backup the database or mark it as backed up (a valid backup can be taken later online for roll forward processing)
$ rfutil <dbname> -C mark backedup
4. Re-Enable After Imaging
$ rfutil <dbname> -C aimage begin
The re-enabling of the after image process will format all ai files and should correct the AI file corruption.
Alternatively, since OpenEdge 10.1B AI can be enabled online with an online probkup:
$ probkup online <dbname> <backup volume> enableai enableaiarchiver -aiarcdir
