706.0. "CONSOLE EXTRACT problem on PCM T1.6" by BACHUS::WILLEMSG (Geert Willems MCS-Belgium) Tue May 02 1995 10:23

	Hi,

	Polycenter Scheduler T1.6 , OpenVMS VAX V6.1
	Last Friday I did the upgrade from PCM V1.5a 
	to PCM T1.6.
	Afterwards I tried to start a CONSOLE EXTRAXT
	without success-->I've got :
$ console extract brssws
POLYCENTER Console Manager
Extract facility Version T1.6-000

Failed to dearchive log data for system BRSSWS - Logfile path is unknown

	Today, I've started from zero. I've deinstalled PCM.
	Installed PCM V1.5, upgraded to PCM V1.5a.
	Configured a system, created event/filter and tested it out.
	Ok. Then I started an CONSOLE EXTRACT-->NO PROBLEM.

	So, I upgraded to PCM T1.6. The event notification is still
	working. But if I try a CONSOLE EXTRACT, I've the same problem:
Failed to dearchive log data for system BRSSWS - Logfile path is unknown

	I also tried a CONSOLE ARCHIVE. This gave no problem :
$ console archive brssws
POLYCENTER Console Manager
Archive facility Version T1.6-000

Starting archive procedure for system BRSSWS
Archive procedure for system BRSSWS completed successfully
$ dir console$archive

	Is this EXTRACT a know/new problem ?

	If you need more info, please let me know.

	Rgds,

	Geert

Geert,
      this is probably a new problem I have introduced. I did quite a bit of
work on extract so that it does not build temporary files (saves time and space)
and I guess I have blown it.

Could you tell me the following:

1) was PCM running when you did the extract?

2) Are you doing event or log review?

3) Did you specify time boundries i.e. /before or /since?

The most likely thing is I have got an fopen() parameter incorrect for OpenVMS
as the return indicates that one of the live LOG  TIMES or EVENTS files could
not be accessed. I shall also modify the message as it is slightly misleading.

Cheers Simon....

Geert,
      I have reproduced the problem, will lt you know when I have a fix.

Cheers Simon....

Geert,
       I have a fix built for OpenVMS VAX at this time.

	File is on:
