443.0. "Error open data collection file:%RMS-F-DEV" by svrav1.au.oracle.com::MCHAN () Wed Feb 26 1997 02:43

Oracle V2.1.68
Rdb 6.0A

Hi,

One of our customer intermittently getting problem starting the collection.
It failed with error message:

 %EPC-E-RG_ACT_DCFOPEN, Error opening data collection file !AS 
 %RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation 

There is no disk error during the collection and the same error message
occurs even customer divert the collection to other devices. As customer
using multiple files list for the collection, the collection files can also 
be created on the device but only have a file size of 320 blocks. 

This is the command used to schedule the collection in hourly basis :
$ collect schedule collect epc epc.dat -
        /filelist -
        /selection=acms -
        /cluster -
        /protection=(world:rw)

	Have the customer isssue the same command but place the start time somewhere in the future. Then attach through SQL to EPC$ADMIN_DB SELECT * from EPC$TEST_FILES; Checkout the DEVICE_NAME field. See if it's crap. We get the device name out of an RMS returned structure, store it in the DB and pass it back later on when we try to activate the collection. You might get some kind of clue by looking at what we think the device name is after we create the empty .dat files... George

Have the customer isssue the same command but place the start time somewhere
in the future.

Then attach through SQL to EPC$ADMIN_DB

SELECT * from EPC$TEST_FILES;

Checkout the DEVICE_NAME field.

See if it's crap.  We get the device name out of an RMS returned structure,
store it in the DB and pass it back later on when we try to activate the
collection.
