EDD doesn't work anymore?

Jerry

We're not *always* being 'signalled' upon the arrival of incoming mail, I 
assume this is because we're on a different node from the one the mail
arrives at. Is this a 'fault' or is there some workaround, eg use of the 
SET FORWARD in mail which would clear this??

Jerry

    Well - it's not really a fault - more a sort of 'missing'. What
    is needed is the system-wide logical MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS (defined
    as the value 7). This tells Mail that this system is part of a cluster
    and that it should use 'cluster services' to inform user of received
    mail.
    
    	By the time you read this, the logical should be defined on
    all nodes of the ADG cluster.

    EDD is ok now. The required TPU section has been placed in
    sys$common:[syslib] and should thus be available on all nodes of
    the cluster.

    We are having problems with the SIM development environment.
    Whenever we login to RDGE00 (thro' the cluster) or submit jobs
    that end up on RDGE00_BATCH, we do not get assigned to the environment,
    instead we get error messages telling us that we are not *authorised*
    to assign.

    True - however this problem is currently universal i.e. not confined
    to SIM. There have been a *lot* of problems with RDGE00 lately
    (hardware-wise) and I think you may be seeing one of the side-effects
    of various attemps that have been made to isolate the problems.
    Ian/Vicky and I will investigate it and let you know the outcome.

    Some people may have noticed that, when printing VAXmail messages,
    no banner page is created at the start of the print job, or between
    the mail messages. This is due to the fact that the print queues
    were initialised /DEFAULT=FLAG, which works ok for normal print
    jobs that may consist of multiple individual files.
    
    For mail to print properly (with flag pages), the queues must be
    initialised /DEFAULT=FLAG/SEPARATE=FLAG. This has now been done.

Could someone please post the movements of the lse envoirnoment files in this 
conferences. Before the cluster they were in :-
    
    sys$common:[lse_sections] (I think)

After the cluster they were in :-

    $28$dua2:[lse_sections]

Now they are in :-

    sys$common:[xlse]

Thank you,

Stewart

    
    What ever happened to the EDT Computer Aided Instuction (EDTCAI)
    Kit that used to be on U9.
    
    We have a new Administrator in Support and would like to aquaint
    her with EDT. Can we have EDTCAI back ?

Any debug image I try to run on RDGE00:: crashes out with;

	%RMS-F-ISI, invalid internal stream identifier (ISI) value

Same image works fine on RDGE43::


Dave.

    Yes - or even %SYS-F-ACCVIO. This problem has been reported to the
    TSC in Viables - who had never heard of it previously. They suggested
    that the problem might well be hardware-specific: there are apparently
    some situations where a 785 can bite you for no good reason.
    
    At the time, RDGE00 was actually suffering from other hardware
    problems, so this problem was not specifically pursued then. Now
    that RDGE00 has become stable again, and the Debug problem is still
    with us, it might be a good idea to have the hardware (especially
    cpu/memory) thoroughly checked out.

    More info on debug problem:
    
    	I tried the image that failed yesterday and it worked first
    time, failed the second time. Yesterday it failed consistently.

Still not *always* being signalled on arrival of incoming mail
