239.0. "OA$FORMATTER problem after WPS v.4" by KERNEL::SMITHERSJ (Living on the culinary edge....) Fri Mar 13 1992 17:22

    Posted in WPS-PLUS conference too.
    
    Customer has just upgraded to v.4. WPS-PLUS with ALL-IN-1 2.4
    running VMS 5.4-3.
    
    Ever since upgrading, he has not been able to use his background
    formatter.  Jobs failed and are retained with the following 
    information:
    
    Jobname         Username     Entry  Blocks  Status
    -----         --------     -----  ------  ------
    66_LINES        ALLIN1         950       7  Retained on error
    %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 011FF76A
    Submitted 13-MAR-1992 16:22 /NOBURST /NOFLAG /NOFEED /FORM=DEFAULT
    /PARAM=("OA$PARAMS=100,CHIN_LG01,DECLASER,1,,A1_LIB:[ALLIN1.MGR.TABLES]",
    "OA$FMTCTL=2") /PRIORITY=100
    File: _$4$DUA2:[ALLIN1.MGR]MAN000361.WPL;1 /NOBURST /DELETE /NOFEED 
    /NOFLAG
    
    I believe these errors are %oa-e-bf-fmterror formatting operation 
    failed on file !AS.
    
    Files are as follows: 
    
    OA$FORMATTER_START.COM;1 30-MAY-1990 19:20:04.68
    [A1.DO_SHARE]WPPBGFORMAT.SCP;2 3-MAR-1992 22:53:33.89 created & revised
    SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]OA$FORMATTER.EXE;2 size 1778 Created:   3-MAR-1992 
    OA$FORMATTER.OBJ 3-MAR-1992 module header v.01-016 8-MAR-1991
    
    I've stopped and deleted the queue, and recreated it without success.
    I am going to send the customer a copy of our oa$formatter.exe to see
    if that makes any difference too.
    
    Can anyone shed any light on this please?  What else should I check?
    
    Thanks

239.1Do JS IS and ReadIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ASat Mar 14 1992 16:325
If you examine the job information from ALL-IN-1 you will get the error 
message text.  Do JS IS and R on the failed job.

239.2and also...IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ASat Mar 14 1992 16:5622
Check that the new OA$FORMATTER.EXE is being used.  Symbiont processes have 
to be in SYS$SYSTEM so check that a newly linked OA$FORMATTER.EXE is in 
SYS$SYSTEM, and also that there are no old files in the node specific 
directories.

If there is an old OA$FORMATTER then do:

    1.  $ STOP QUEUE/NEXT OA$FORMATTER
    2.	Delete all old .EXE files
    3.	Copy the .EXE file OA$BUILD to SYS$SYSTEM making sure that is it
    	is in the cluster common directory
    4.  $ START/QUEUE OA$FORMATTER


Running the old OA$FORMATTER with the new WPPBGFORMAT could result in 
creating jobs with six parameters in the OA$PARAMS string which 
OA$FORMATTER will reject.  Your failed job has a sixth parameter - the 
[.TABLES] directory.
