396.0. "ABS V 2.1 install fails, scheduler OLB missing..." by IJSAPL::HENK_H () Mon Mar 10 1997 10:36

    Hello,
    
    Just tried installing ABS V 2.1 on a standalone workstation and had
    the installation fail.
    
    Before installaing ABS I installed SLS (server kit) and the scheduler
    (also full kit) from the same march 1997 CD distribution so that all
    would be at the latest version.
    
    The installation of ABS failes because it cannot find the required
    object library in nsched$: which is supposed to be provided as part
    of a scheduler installation that includes callable interface support.
    
    I checked kitinstal.com and it seems CA has removed this option.
    You can no longer select the callable interface in the full scheduler
    kit. I did not check the crippled kit in the [SLSA028.KIT] directory
    so that may be OK but extracted *.OLB from the scheduler saveset .A
    
    Just to warn others going to install ABS on a customer system that has
    the full scheduler.
    
    Henk.

396.1	which scheduler?	COOKIE::MHUA		`Mon Mar 10 1997 11:22`	9
	Henk, Which version of the scheduler kit did you find that cannot install callable interface? Was it VAX or Alpha??? Masami
396.2		CX3PST::BSS::SAUL		`Mon Mar 10 1997 11:25`	6
	Hi Henk, 2.1b-09 should have the .olb back in it (on Alpha). It was removed in the 07 version. I checked a 09 machine here and its there. Ted

	Also...it was never removed on the VAX.
396.4	Alpha ECO contains the question	COOKIE::HEISLER	Chris Heisler, ABS Engineering	`Mon Mar 10 1997 11:50`	8
	Henk, The ECO for the Alpha version contains the question about installing the callable interface. The "full" kit doesn't ask the question. We have it documented in section 2.1 in the ABS V2.1 Installation Guide (see the NOTE in that section). Chris
396.5	Asched 2.1B-1, install crippled kit ?	IJSAPL::HENK_H		`Mon Mar 10 1997 15:48`	19
	Re .2 I just checked on the system but a $ sched show status returns V 2.B-1 as the version. The kit is from the march-97 alpha CD. Any specific image to check for this version ? Re .4 I did not recognise the link between this and the install failing which is why I restored the AXP_NSCHED_SUBS.OLB file manually from the scheduler saveset and then installed ABS V 2.1 again but now successfully. Is a different kitinstal.com the only difference or should I rather install the crippled kit ? I have the march-97 CD's directly available and getting the ECO would require more effort so I'd rather re-install the scheduler if that's still needed. Henk.
396.6	Check NSCHED.EXE	CX3PST::BSS::SAUL		`Mon Mar 10 1997 15:55`	0
396.7	Use latest if possible.	COOKIE::HEISLER	Chris Heisler, ABS Engineering	`Mon Mar 10 1997 16:48`	26
	Henk, If you are on OpenVMS V6.2, then you can probably use the scheduler that you have. We recommend using the latest version (v2.1b-9), and you must use it if you are on V7.0 or V7.1 OpenVMS, or things don't work properly with ABS. We have the kits in our directory on AIM$PUBLIC: AIM$PUBLIC:[ARCHIVE_BACKUP.KITS.V21_SSB] Directory AIM$PUBLIC:[ARCHIVE_BACKUP.KITS.V21_SSB] ABS021.A;3 ABS021.B;3 ABS021.C;3 ABS021.D;3 ABS021.E;3 ABS021.F;3 ASCHED_E01B021.A;1 ASCHED_E01B021.B;1 ASCHED_E0903B021.A;4 VSCHED_E09B021.A;2 VSCHED_E09B021.B;2 VSCHED_E09B021.C;2 You would want to install ASCHED_E01B021 and then ASCHED_E0903B021. This would take you to the latest version, and you will get the question about installing the callable interface for scheduler. That is the question that puts the .olb image out there. Chris
