| I did the search command I mentioned in .0 on a V5.2 system, and found nothing
there either. Still, on V5.2 it started Decwindows for me, and now it won't.

| 1728.2 | Look at WINDOW_SYSTEM | DECWIN::FISHER | Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23 | Mon Nov 13 1989 13:33 | 4 |
| Perhaps your AUTOGEN changed the WINDOW_SYSTEM sysgen parameter. It should be
1. If it is not, put it in your MODPARAMS.DAT file and re-autogen.

| You do have a valid VMS license, right? If the license loaded has expired
or is invalid, DECwindows will not come up.

| Yes, I do. Damn, this is a p-i-t-a....
No license problem, window system is set to 1, etc. etc.
Also the seen map of this conference is trashed again.............

| 1728.6 | Try DECnet | AGBEAR::HORNER | A.G.Bear, Old fashion teddy bear | Tue Nov 14 1989 08:11 | 6 |
| One thing that just happened here was a system that had an expired
DECnet license after the upgrade. As a result, DECnet wouldn't start.
If DECnet doesn't start, DECwindows won't start. Check and make sure
that DECnet is successfully starting on your system.

| 1728.7 | found the problem | DOPEY::DICKENS | What are you pretending not to know ? | Tue Nov 14 1989 09:34 | 13 |
| Well, I figured it out. It was a licence problem, but not so simple.
I have RSM (remote system manager) maintain the license database on my systems,
so the licenses were being loaded from RSM$C_PROCEDURES:RSM$LICENSE.LDB, which
gets loaded near the beginning of SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. I guessed that the startup
procedure was checking for the license before it ran SYSTARTUP. I copied RSM's
ldb to SYS$SYSTEM:LMF$LICENSE.LDB, and away it went.
This is new behavior. It's works just fine without LMF$LICENSE.LDB on V5.2.
caveat emptor, RSM users.

Since I installed VMS V5.3 and DECwindows V2.0 on my MI Cluster, I have
a related problem. Under "normal" conditions ... 1 or 2 DECwindows
satellites rebooting into a running cluster ... DECwindows starts up
correctly. However, under a full cluster reboot (after a power failure,
for example), DECW$STARTUP.COM doesn't seem to function correctly.
Near the end of SYSTARTUP_V5.COM, I submit a command file named
SYSTARTNET.COM to batch. This command file submits a couple of other
batch jobs, defines some logicals, etc., then runs STARTNET.COM. This
worked fine under VMS V5.2.
Now, as SYSTARTUP_V5.COM ends, I get the expected "DECwindows waiting
for DECnet to start" message, but it doesn't wait long enough ... I get
the "DECwindows cannot start without DECnet" message and must rerun
DECW$STARTUP.COM manually.
To work around the problem, I've added the command:
$ IF F$GETSYI("WINDOW_SYSTEM") .EQ. 1 THEN WAIT 00:02
to the end of SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. The 2 minute wait seems to do the
trick, but is not a very elegant solution. Am I stuck with this or am I
overlooking something? Did something change between VMS V5.2 and VMS
V5.3 that would explain this behavior?
Thanks,
Terry

| Put this line in your SYLOGICALS.COM.
$DEFINE/SYS/EXEC DECW$IGNORE_DECNET "TRUE"

>>> $DEFINE/SYS/EXEC DECW$IGNORE_DECNET "TRUE"
That line is in SYSTARTUP_V5.COM but the instructions
indicate that it should be commented out if you are, in fact,
using DECnet.
If DECW$IGNORE_DECNET is true, will the satellites still be
able to use DECnet (for whatever DECwindows uses DECnet)
after NETACP gets started?
