2215.0. "OA$FORMATTER PROBLEMS WITH VMS 5.5-1 ???" by MFRFMS::SUSANNE () Thu Feb 04 1993 15:36

Hi all,

After ALL-IN-1 IOS V2.4 - V3.0 upgrade, my customer has problems with the 
OA$FORMATTER (background formatter) "invalid value for oa$params". error code is
011FF76A. 
He has VMS V5.5-1 and I have installed the A1_ECO001030 and A1_FIX002030 
patches. My suggestions was that VMS V.5-1 is the problem (Note 134), 
therefore I have installed the CSCPAT_1012016, but no improvements.
I have relinked and there aren't any OLD OA$FORMATTER.EXE in SYS$ROOT. 
everything seems to be okay but "invalid value for oa$params".

Any suggestions ?????

Regards Susanne

2215.1	Job parameters?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Thu Feb 04 1993 15:45`	6
	What are the full job parameters? Could you do a $ SHOW ENTRY/FULL for the job and put the results in a reply to this note. Richard
2215.2	OA$PARAMS !!!!!	MFRFMS::SUSANNE		`Thu Feb 04 1993 17:52`	13
	Hi Richard, the parameters are: /PARAM=("OA$PARAMS=000,TANTRA$LN03,LN03,1,OA$HLS_80,$DISK6:<ALLIN1.MGR.TABLES>", "OA$FMCTL=2")/PRIORITY=100/NOTRAILER/NOFLAG/FORM=DEFAULT OR /PARAM=("OA$PARAMS=000,TANTRA$LN03,LN03A4,1,,$DISK6:<ALLIN1.MGR.TABLES>", "OA$FMCTL=2")/PRIORITY=100/NOTRAILER/NOFLAG/FORM=DEFAULT THANKS AND REGARDS SUSANNE
2215.3	OA$FMCTL?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Thu Feb 04 1993 18:52`	10
	Are these parameters exactly as displayed by a SHOW ENTRY or did you retype them? The parameter "OA$FMCTL=2" should be "OA$FMTCTL=2". After making the above correction I created a background formatter job with same parameters as yours. As expected it failed with 'No such queue' but this does show that the parameters were accepted. Richard
2215.4	of course "OA$FMTCTL"	MFRFMS::SUSANNE		`Mon Feb 15 1993 13:05`	8
	Hi Richard, sorry...it was my mistake. The parameter is of course "OA$FMTCTL=2", but the error is the same. What can I do ??? Thanks and regards Susanne
2215.5	ALl, or only some users?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Mon Feb 15 1993 14:13`	21
	Does the problem occur for all users, or only some users? Another thing to try is to create some OA$FORMATTER jobs with different OA$PARAMS parameter strings to see which part of the parameter string is causing the problem. This can be done from DCL using the PRINT command, for example: $ PRINT file.wpl /QUEUE=OA$FORMATTER - /PARAMETERS=("OA$FMTCTL=2", - "OA$PARAMS=000,TANTRA$LN03,LN03,1,OA$HLS_80,$DISK6:<ALLIN1.MGR.TABLES>") Create jobs with OA$PARAMS set to: OA$PARAMS=000,TANTRA$LN03,LN03,1,OA$HLS_80 OA$PARAMS=000,TANTRA$LN03,LN03,1 Richard
2215.6	RELINK was the solution	MFRFMS::SUSANNE		`Fri Feb 19 1993 09:42`	6
	Hi Richard, this week we retry a.relink (the 10. attempt) and a miracle was done, no problems anymore. I dont understand this but I am happy. thanks Susanne
2215.7	Probably an old version	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Fri Feb 19 1993 10:28`	6
	probably that you were still running an old version of OA$FORMATTER which accepts five items in the OA$PARAMS list, but the new version of ALL-IN-1 was generating six items in the OA$PARAMS list. Richard
