57.0. "JBC-E-SYMDEL, RMS-F-XAB OA$FORMATTER queue stopped" by SWAM2::MIYAMOTO_KY (Kyle Miyamoto DTN 531-5286) Wed Feb 19 1992 23:46

    The OA$FORMATTER symbiont process died.  The following appeared on the
    console (via JOB_CONTROL) prior to image termination:
    
    Message from user JOB_CONTROL on SSDVX1
    %JBC-E-INVMSG, invalid mailbox message received
    %JBC-E-INVMSG, invalid mailbox message received
    -SYSTEM-W-ENDOFFILE, end of file
    %JBC-E-SYMDEL, unexpected symbiont process termination
    -RMS-F-XAB, invalid XAB or XAB not accessible at 00000000
    
    I restarted the OA$FORMATTER queue and all seems well now but I would
    like to know what caused this problem and if/how it can be avoided.
    
    VMS v5.3-1 (a VAX 6430 which is part of a VAXcluster)
    ALL-IN-1 v2.3

	Since I'm not getting any replies, does anyone know to whom I can send mail to to get an answer? How about another notes conference to cross-post it? Kyle >-(
57.2	Too much rain?	A1VAX::BARTH	Bridge-o-matic does it again!	`Thu Feb 27 1992 14:29`	7
	If you can't reproduce it, then it could be anything. A flaky memory module, a loose connection, a power hit, or even a software problem :^) Since you are running V2.3 (you don't state which patch level you are at) it's also possible that it's something which is fixed in V2.4. K.
57.3	Tell me more!	EEMELI::SALMINEN	Hannu Salminen, PTG -Finland	`Mon Mar 09 1992 09:10`	17
	OA$FORMATTER errors may be due to many other sw. So, please tell more abouth the environment in your cluster: - Is there WP installed? - Startup order (DECWindows, ALL-IN-1, WP?) - Startup mode (direct/trough submit) - Is OA$FORMATTER a generic queue system or only in some certain node of the cluster. (I remember this was common in v2.3) PROBLEM/SOLUTION kind of stories for this kind of OA$FORMATTER errors can be found from TIMA/STARS OA1 database. Regards, Hannu
