5334.0. "lpd common spool problem" by CHEFS::LONG_J () Thu Mar 13 1997 05:56

    We are running UCX Version 4.0 and Eco Level 1.  We created a printcap
    lpd queue with the following information
    
    CROYDON_ISP|croydon_isp:\
            :lf=/sys$common/ucx_lpd/croydon_isp.log:\
            :lp=CROYDON_ISP:\
            :sd=/sys$common/ucx_lpd/croydon_isp:
    
    When trying to print to this queue the following error occurs
    
        547  CFA017CROYDON1  UCX_LPD           1  Retained on error
           %RMS-E-DNF, directory not found
             Submitted 26-FEB-1997 15:35:18.55 /FORM=DEFAULT
    /PARAM=("croydon_isp")
             /PRIORITY=100
             File:
    _DSA0:[SYSCOMMON.UCX_LPD.CROYDON_ISP]CFA017CROYDON1.DAT;1 /DELETE
             Completed 26-FEB-1997 15:35:18.68 on queue UCX$LPD_QUEUE
    
    
    When you do a show logical of sys$common it is as follows:-
    
     "SYS$COMMON" = "DSA0:[SYS1.SYSCOMMON.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
    
    So it would appear that the queue is not converting the logical
    correctly and so cannot find the spool area.
    
    If I change this queue to point to sys$specific for its spool area, then
    it all works fine.
    
    The other logicals for lpd are:-
    
    
      "UCX$LPD_LOGFILE" = "SYS$SPECIFIC:[UCX_LPD]UCX$LPD_LOGFILE.LOG"
      "UCX$LPD_PRINTCAP" = "SYS$COMMON:[UCX_LPD]UCX$PRINTCAP.DAT"
      "UCX$LPD_SPOOL" = "SYS$COMMON:[UCX_LPD]"
    
    and these appear on all three nodes of the cluster.
    
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Regards

	Hello Jackie, The SYSUAF entry, as normally created by the UCX$CONFIG procedure, will have the UCX_LPD directory in SYS$SPECIFIC on the node that UCX$CONFIG is run on. The UCX$LPD* logicals appear to be mixed up, as if they have been incompletely edited in the startup file. The best way of working with LPD in a cluster is to have the printcap entry for lf and sd point to /sys1/ucx_lpd... rather than trying to redefine everything to SYS$COMMON. You will need to ensure that the UCX$PRINTCAP.DAT file is copied to every node in the cluster so that it doesn't matter which node the UCX$LPD_QUEUE queue is started on.

Hello Jackie,

The SYSUAF entry, as normally created by the UCX$CONFIG procedure, will have the
UCX_LPD directory in SYS$SPECIFIC on the node that UCX$CONFIG is run on.

The UCX$LPD* logicals appear to be mixed up,  as if they have been incompletely
edited in the startup file. The best way of working with LPD in a cluster is to
have the printcap entry for lf and sd point to /sys1/ucx_lpd... rather than
trying to redefine everything to SYS$COMMON.

You will need to ensure that the UCX$PRINTCAP.DAT file is copied to every node
in the cluster so that it doesn't matter which node the UCX$LPD_QUEUE queue is
started on.
