309.0. "Strange `UDP error messsage' (V3.0)" by JOCKEY::MARSHALLJ (Glad that the devil is red ......) Tue Mar 24 1992 09:21

    Hi,
    
    A customer is currently running BL122 of V3.0 on VMS V5.4-2.
    
    We are getting some strange, intermittent errors which are described
    below, and I can't see any mention of this in the Diamond FT notes file
    so I wondered if anyone could suggest where to start looking to find
    the cause ?
    
    We currently have a problem with users intermittently getting the
    message 'Not privileged to execute function directives in UDPs' when they 
    try to do really normal things, like Create a WP document, or EXit,
    'Intermittently' meaning, they can use the options for most of their 
    session, but then suddenly, with no apparent pattern, or indication, or 
    cause, they get hit by this message. I have been having to stop their 
    processes to let them login again and carry on. It looks like a corruption 
    of something held in memory for the users concerned (possibly). I am unable
    to recreate it at will at the moment, as there is no pattern, but if
    anyone can shed any light, I'd be extremely grateful.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    John

309.1	Check PRVUDPFNC	SIOG::T_REDMOND	Thoughts of an Idle Mind	`Tue Mar 24 1992 10:24`	8
	What values are PRVUDPFNC and PRVUDPDCL set to? The first is probably stopping functions being executed if it isn't set (it's a profile flag). The UDPs may contain some processing which can't operate without the ability to execute functions... Tony
309.2	Upgrade used to turn them off - fixed	IOSG::SHOVE	Dave Shove -- REO-D/3C	`Tue Mar 24 1992 14:26`	10
	Did you deliberately turn off the new privs (PRVUDPFNC and PRVUDPDCL) for your users? If not, you might want just to turn them all on (PRVOWN and PRVVIEW as well, if you have no reason to turn them off). The upgrade procedures used to set them off - as this could break applications, in the SSB kit the upgrade will set them all on (Y). Dave.
309.3	Which BL122??	AIMTEC::PORTER_T	Terry Porter, ALL-IN-1 Support, Atlanta CSC	`Tue Mar 24 1992 15:38`	9
	Which BL122 are you running, I forget how many there were in all but do a <version and if it is not BL122D dated 24-Jan-1992 try upgrading. I assume this is a regestered FT site, in which case call the CSC for more specific help. Regards, Terry
309.4	Same thing	KERNEL::SALMONJ	Jason Salmon	`Wed Nov 25 1992 16:39`	6
	Hello, I've got a customer with the same problem can anyone tell me what the outcome was please ? Jason.
309.5	Have you checked the flags?	OK4ME::CAFE3	Jack Creamer	`Wed Nov 25 1992 17:48`	13
	Jason, In the account(s) that are getting the errors, what are the values of the flags given in .1? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but if these flags are set to "N", then the user won't be able to run UDP's that contain explicit function calls. I would be more specific, but I don't have my V3.0 manuals handy. HTH, Jack
309.6	Are they using UDPs in the first place?	DUBSWS::EIJS		`Wed Nov 25 1992 17:58`	10
	Another questions is: Are you sure that the activities (like the ones mentioned in .0) are done with regualr ALL-IN-1 menu options? Meaning, are you sure no UDPs are used? These flags shouldn't impact any DO Script processing. Ciao, Simon
309.7		KERNEL::SALMONJ	Jason Salmon	`Thu Nov 26 1992 10:57`	13
	re.5 The values were set to N re.6 The customer tells me that he has no UDP's on his system. The Problem happens after a while. If they log out and then back in again the problem has gone away. Only common factor seems to be that the users affected are heavy usage users. Jason.
