Please could somebody help with a VCS-DECWINDOWS problem. The history
of the problem can be found in latour::vcs conferance, note 854.
The problem appears to be with DECWINDOWS and not VCS. The following
error log is recorded everytime windows crashes.

I have increased VIRTUALPAGECNT on the system now to 200000, however
this crash occured at that setting. Is it feasible for me to continue
increasing VIRTUALPAGECNT and PGFLQUO until the problem goes away
or am I barking up the wrong tree??

I'd say that your initial reaction was correct -- if the server is running out of memory, you should increase the number of virtual pages and the page file quota. However, you have already increased these numbers to a generous extent. The problem then is either a memory leak in the server, or VCS is simply consuming too many resources in the server. Some characterization of VCS would help. How long does it take before the server runs out of memory? How many connections are there to the server? How many windows are created? How many pixmaps are created? Is there something that VCS is continually creating and destroying? The idea behind the above questions is to narrow down which resource is chewing up all of the server's memory. | |||||

I had the same problem on VMS 5.3 and VCS. I installed VMS 5.4-4G1 on
the VCS system the other day and the windows manager still shuts down
at regular intervals.
I run 3 windows: VCS C3, VCS$ENS, and CLOCK. The window manager shuts
down at different times, but usually can be counted on to fail at least
twice a day.
The configuration is: VS3100, 24meg memory, 2 RZ23. This is the only
satellite on a uVAXII hosted LAVc.

Both DECWindows and VCS are very good products, but if they're

As has been remarked many times before, if you want to bring this problem to the attention of developers, please QAR this. You may wish to QAR it against both VCS and DECwindows, in case the problem is simply one of excess resource usage on VCS' part. We know that the server should handle insufficient virtual memory errors better, but we are more concerned at the moment about possible memory leaks. See note 2 on how to enter a DECwindows QAR. | |||||

Hello Peter
Yes, and thankyou I will QAR this problem with both VCS and DECWINDOWS.
I have been observing both systems and have waited for them to crash
again. One of them crashed yesterday again (FNYVCS) and the next one looks
like it is preparing for a crash (FYVCS2). My reason for saying this
is because having done an "ANALYSE/ERROR" on both systems I noticed at the
approximate time of the first one crashing (i.e. 8 seconds later)
a non fatal bug check was recorded. (see below) On the second system
a similiar non-fatal bugcheck was recorded yesterday evening but
WINDOWS and VCS are still up.

RE: Note .1
===========
I apologise for not supplying you with more information sooner.
Can you suggest some ways for me to detect "memory leaks".
Accounting reveals to me that there were no users logged in at the
time of the crash. A review of the log files does not indicate anything
obvious other than the normal events being logged. A "show error"
does not indicate any memory errors. Should I install VPA or SPM
or something similar, or use Monitor with record/playback ?
Part of the accounting report at about the time of the crash:

I notice that pagefaults for this last detached process exceed 3
million over three days. I have noticed previously that before
WINDOWS crashes one of the processes begins faulting like crazy.
I cant remember which process it is though. (I think it was the
"WINDOW 0" process as this often seems to have a PID similar to
0000009A)
1. The server has taken approximately 4 days to crash. This is an
improvement. Since, before increasing VIRTUALPAGECNT and PGFLQUO
it would crash daily.
2. Connections to the server: Both nodes have 20 other nodes connected
to them.
3. Windows created: The C3 display, the EVENTS window and usually
only one other window monitoring a system.
4. Number of pixmaps: (excuse my ignorance: I know what a pixel
is and what a map is, I assume a pixmap is a map of pixels - how
do I know how many pixmaps there are ? )
5. "Is there something VCS is continually creating and destroying?"
I havent noticed, except previously when there was a large number
of events being recorded by VCS, it caused windows to crash. The
VCS$IODL process was using up 100% of the cpu. However on the most
recent crash it is not apparent that there were a large number of
events being recorded.

| 3243.7 | WINDOW does leak | VINO::MCARLETON | Reality; what a concept! | Wed Aug 29 1990 11:09 | 15 |
If you are running the VCS with the ENS WINDOW action triggering on a
large number of events, it could be the source of a memory leak. The
process name would be "WINDOW 01". The WINDOW application uses the
VLIST widget to add a line to the window for each event. Since the
VLIST widget is never cleared out, the number of events and the size of
the pagefile space can grow very large over time. The work around is
to quit the WINDOW application once in a while to allow ENS to start a
fresh one.
The C3 application should not leak memory. If you find that it does,
let me know and I'll try to plug it. Most things in the C3 get reused
once they are created.

| 3243.8 | How to get a crash dump | STAR::VATNE | Peter Vatne, VMS Development | Wed Aug 29 1990 15:06 | 12 |
Thanks for the additional information. The non-fatal bugcheck is a very serious problem. It indicates that something is wrong in privileged code, but the problem was confined to a single process in executive mode. If you are brave, I would like you to crash your system to get a crash dump of the problem. To turn a non-fatal bugcheck into a fatal bugcheck, set the SYSGEN parameter BUGCHECKFATAL to 1. Then just wait until the problem occurs again, and you will get a crash dump. Once you get a dump, you can set BUGCHECKFATAL back to 0. Once you get the dump file, please enter a QAR with a pointer to your crash dump. Thanks very much! | |||||

| 3243.14 | work around | RUTILE::DC_BERETTA | Mon Sep 24 1990 10:13 | 5 | |
A work around that I am using to stop VCS from crashing all the time is
to stop ENS starting up. The two nodes have been up now for over 10
days. I assume from this that ENS is the cause for the "memory leaks"
as suspected. Any news from the developers ?

It may sound inapropriate to be mentioning ENS and VCS in this
conferance, however they are actually relevent. VCS stands for "VAXcluster
Console System" and ENS is a utility within VCS called "Event
Notification System". The problems being experienced are related to
Decwindows as version 1.3 of this application runs under Decwindows.
