Got a bit of a spooky problem here.
A customer found that lots of users were running out of disk space.
On further investigation, these users all had OA$MAIN.DMP files in their
top level directories each 17,000 blocks.
I suggested to the customer that the user probably accvio'ed out of
ALL-IN-1 at some point causing a dump file to be produced. This could
happen if they relinked ALL-IN-1 with DEBUGGER and had slipped
$SET PROC/DUMP into SYLOGIN.COM (as you do!).
He checked and he hadn't done this. The user's also hadn't accvio'ed
out of ALL-IN-1. It appears to happen if they send a print job to a
printer queue that has the plug pulled out ?! I can't reproduce this.
Also this seems to only happen at certain times, ie the users who see
the problem all get the .DMP files at around the same time.
I've anal/image OA$MAIN which didn't uncover anything. What else can
I check and why might these files be produced? He tried anal/crash
but that didn't uncover anything? The only time I have read about
dump files being produced is with OA$FORMATTER. Help!
Thanks

Julia,
Only ways (that I am aware of) that ALL-IN-1 will produce an
OA$MAIN.DMP are :-
o Customer has installed the ALL-IN-1 Process Dump Catcher
tool - from the ALL-IN-1 Tools Project.
This would cause a process dump to be taken following
an unhandled error (ACCVIO) within ALL-IN-1.
This doesn't appear to be what you are seeing.
o I have seen OA$MAIN.DMP files created on systems
with WordPerfect integrated. This implies that WordPerfect
have implemented $IMGDMP routines within their code.
If this is indeed on a WordPerfect system then you may
wish to contact them for more information.
Hope this helps ...
Cheers,
Iain.
