1042.0. "search list logicals & CDO" by M5::JAKUHN (RDB: 34% better than real life) Mon Jan 27 1997 20:11

Here is (yet another) new one on me. I have a customer who is using 
    search lists to do SET DEFAULTS in CDO.  They claimed it worked on the
    VAX but not the new ALPHA they are on. ????
    
    Here is the part I find interesting (full output is at the end of this
    note, I thought i would spare anyone having to read all of it)

    Am I the only person who has not heard of this? I can understand it 
    not working. I am not sure their claim that it ever worked is correct.

Please note that $1$DKC403 is the same as Disk$User.  Note also that on the 
VAX, Itf_Apl_Device is defined as a concealed process logical,
Disk$Data1:[Itf_Test.], only, as well as a system logical as shown above, and 
it works.  On the ALPHA, I have to define the process logical as a search
logical that includes the system logical definition before it will work.

Thanks for your help.

1042.1	I need some double checks on VAX	8292::PJACOB	Patrick [email protected]	`Wed Jan 29 1997 07:55`	40
	Hi Jay, The architecture you described looks complicated to me : - you set your default ( ITF_REC ) to a search list defined in the process table . - ITF_REC logical name uses ITF_CDD logical which is defined differently in 2 tables. In the process table it uses DISK$USER ; in the system table it uses ITF_APL_DEVICE - ITF_APL_DEVICE logical names is defined differently in 2 tables. In the process table it is a search list using 2 logical names DISK$DATA1 and DISK$USER pointing to 2 different repositories. In the system table it uses only DISK$USER logical name to point to only one repository. - I assume here ATDC01_LINE_ITEMS is not a logical name Given this, it works. However, when ITF_APL_DEVICE of the process table points to the TEST repository through DISK$DATA1 it fails complaining with the PROD repository through ITF_APL_DEVICE. RDMS complains because the root file is supposed to be in ITF_APL_DEVICE:[CDD]CDD$DATABASE.RDB;1 and it founds $1$DKC403:[ITF_PROD.CDD]CDD$DATABASE.RDB;1 It looks normal to me because ITF_APL_DEVICE translates to DISK$DATA1:[ITF_TEST.] . I don't know the translation of DISK$DATA1 but anyway since ITF_APL_DEVICE addresses [ITF_TEST.CDD] repository this can't match with [ITF_PROD.CDD] repository. What could be strange is if it works on VAX. There must be something different. A complete set of 1) $ SHOW LOGICAL/FULL of (at least) the 5 logical names 2) CDO> SHOW GENERIC CDD$ANCHOR [ITF_xxxx.CDD]CDD$PROTOCOLS.CDD$SELF 3) $ DUMP/BLOCK=(START=2,COUNT=1) [ITF_*.CDD]CDD$DATABASE.RDB should point to a difference. By the way, what is the Rdb version? Hope this helps. Patrick

1042.3	some info are still missing	8292::PJACOB	Patrick [email protected]	`Fri Jan 31 1997 15:36`	74
	Hi Jay, you do not simplify my life! You gave me the translation of ITF_EXE which is useless to me . On the contrary the translation of DISK$DATA3 and DISK$USER is missing when it would help. In addition, ITF_APL_DEVICE now translates to DISK$DATA3:[BMS_TEST.] when it translated to DISK$DATA1:[ITF_TEST.]. I have the VMS dump of DISK$USER:[ITF_PROD.CDD]CDD$DATABASE.RDB but the dump of DISK$DATA3:[BMS_TEST.CDD]CDD$DATABASE.RDB is missing. I have the show generic of disk$user:[itf_prod.cdd]cdd$protocols.cdd$self but the one of disk$data3:[bms_test.cdd]cdd$protocols.cdd$self is missing. Despite of this I tried to reproduce your environment on a VAX machine where it is supposed to work. But I got BADROOTMATCH even when ITF_APL_DEVICE is a search list. I don't know if it is because I did not fill the missing information by something different from your setting, or , if it is because I tested against CDD V7.0. Thus, please, provide all the information I need, or even better, provide a complete script. Patrick.
