2936.4 | Looks like an SPX problem | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Fri Jun 15 1990 12:52 | 6 |
| From what I can tell, the PC is smack in the middle of the SPX
dependant code. There have been bug fixes for serious SPX problems
lately. I don't know if one of those will solve your problem.
However, since this is urgently needed for DECworld, we are
handling this problem off-line.

Thanks,

2936.7 | | DECWIN::ROSENBLUM | | Mon Jun 18 1990 10:22 | 4 |
| The V5.3-1 patches are the correct ones for all 5.3-*
releases.

Are the patches on the net? I've never needed to get any patches in
the past and wouldn't know where to look.
The server takes off about once every few days now, it takes about
5 min's log in and kill the process.
Thanks,
Jon

I have the same problem with VMS 5.3-1 on my 36 SPX stations.
I desperately seeking these patches for 36 SPX stations which
are part of an Investment Trading Floor system using Digitals
Price Watch software. The systems are going into this state
frequently and we have had to reboot to recover. The system
is going live next Monday July 2nd. I'm in a time crunch --
help please!

Bruce,
The ONLY way to get the patches is via the CSC! That's both
the best way and most likely the only supported way to get patches to released
software.
Call them up and get them to copy them across the net to your system, or have
them FedEx it (charged to your cost center, of course) to the customer!

2936.11 | CSCPAT_0183010 thats the one! | SALSA::MARSHALL | | Wed Jul 04 1990 13:43 | 19 |
| The patch available from the CSC is CSCPAT_0183010. It does correct the above
problems indicated in Mr. Carr's original note. I have observed one additional
problem since I applied the patch. When a user selects the PAUSE feature,
then enters their password and clicks OK, the windows return as white siloettes
on a dark background and the mouse is dead. Shortly after, less than
one minute, the system will crash.
I am now looking for a way to disable the pause feature, until V5.4 of VMS and
DECWindows V3.0. are available. Even with this problem, it is STILL MUCH BETTER
to be running with the patch and not experience the crashes we were haveing.
We have been live at the bank Investment Trading floor for two days with no
additional window related problems!
Thanks,
Bruce

2936.12 | Patch to fix the patch? | SMOOT::ROTH | Iraq needs lawyers... send some NOW!! | Wed Oct 17 1990 09:18 | 11 |
| I'm running V5.3-1 and have been experiencing the problem outlined in this
note during system startup.
I was ready to call the CSC and get the above mentioned patch but I don't
like what I read about the pause function crashing the system.
Is there any fix for the problem of the pause crashing the system?
Thanks-
Lee
