I'm still having a little trouble.

I first typed in what you said.

% dumpobj 42284
retrying after errTmBackgroundHoldoff ...
retrying after errTmBackgroundHoldoff ...
Setup 42284/10 {
CableType = 3
IndexPath = /Setup
LastChannelOBSOLETE = 42284/21
NoPrivateBackhaulOBSOLETE = 0
Source = 42284/31
Version = 221


then I typed in.

% /add-whole-channel.tcl 7998032 4 TV1 "C4" 42284/31
retrying after errTmBackgroundHoldoff ...
retrying after errTmBackgroundHoldoff ...
The file id you will need to use add-channel is 127905/10
commit failed (0x30012)

while executing
"transaction {uplevel $body}"
(procedure "RetryTransaction" line 5)
invoked from within
"RetryTransaction {
set station [db $db create Station]
set stationid [dbobj $station fsid]/[dbobj $station subobjid]
puts "The file id yo..."
(file "/add-whole-channel.tcl" line 12)
child process exited abnormally


this is all confusing. I just put the add whole channel and no nag tcls in the root.

thanks
