3174.0. "bad MRX$INIT.DAT" by GIDDAY::JOYCE (Andy Joyce - Digital CSC Sydney) Wed Mar 05 1997 00:13

    
    MRX V2.3-004
    
    Customer could not start MRX after system reboot.  Errors about
    writing zeros to control block (implying bad checkpoint file) and
    MRX$GATEWAY failing immeadiately with "invalid logical name".
    
    It turns out that the root cause of these errors was a "bad"
    MRX$INIT.DAT - although the file was okay so far as RMS
    was concerned ($ANAL/RMS showed no errors) none of the parameters
    had any values!  When a version of this file was restored from
    backup MRX started okay.
    
    Customer now wants to know what could have caused MRX$INIT.DAT to
    get into this state?
    
    Any ideas?

	Did you check the dates on the 'bad' file? Sounds like someone created a new/empty one. Dave
