377.0. "TRM: Missing shared area text files not removed with K603" by ZUR01::KURTH (Peter Kurth @RLE, R�mlang (CH)) Tue Mar 31 1992 15:20

  Hello
  
  ALL-IN-1/German/English V2.4 with K603 on VAX/VMS V5.4-2.
  
  Using SM_UTILITY_MASTER, Check Body Files is set to 2.
  
  See also ALL-IN-1_V24 2318.
  
  After running TRM (Test and Repair Mail Areas), the log files lists the 
  following:
  
  ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet Verification and Repair Program
  =====================================================
  Version 2.4-K603-1
  
  .
  .
  
  Listing missing shared area text files
  ======================================
  
   If the Check Body Files field is set to 2 on the next TRM repair run
   all references to any files listed below that are still missing
   will be deleted.
  
  OA$SHARA2:ZUBPFGEWH.WPL
  OA$SHARE1:ZSGFAYBOT.WPL
  OA$SHARE1:ZSGMBKVUV.WPL
  .
  .
  
  
  How can I get rid of this list and the SDAF record?
  
  
  The release notes for K603 says (2.3.21), after a second run the procedure 
  will delete the File Cabinet reference.
  
  On our (and of course the customer's) system, the SDAF record and the PDAF 
  record are still there.
  
  Does this procedure works correctly?
  
  Thanks and regards, Peter

377.1SM_UTILITY_MASTER, TRM record.KAOFS::M_MORINLe diable est aux vaches!Tue Mar 31 1992 16:3412
Peter,

Invoke SM_UTILITY_MASTER entry form and select utility TRM.

You'll see the "Check body files" flag at the bottom left of this record.
Make sure it's value is set to 2.  I've experimented with this before but I
don't remember if it did the trick for me.

Hope that helps.

377.2Check Body Files is set to 2ZUR01::KURTHPeter Kurth @RLE, R�mlang (CH)Tue Mar 31 1992 17:346
    As stated in .0, Check Body Files is set to 2. I tried several times
    to run TRM, no records are removed, but always there are listed.

377.3There are probably UNREAD referencesIOSG::CHAPLINAndy ChaplinTue Mar 31 1992 18:1214
    Hi Peter,
    
    There are probably some users that have not yet read the message.  TRM
    will not delete UNREAD DOCDB references to missing files. This is so
    that the user at least has a chance to see the empty message and contact
    the sender, otherwise they would never know that they had received it.
    
    Unfortunately you cannot tell from the log which users have the
    reference and so you will have to wait until all the users eventually
    read the message.  It might be worth checking if there are any
    old/unused accounts which are still receiving mail.
    
    Cheers,
    Andy
377.4It works, magically ...ZUR01::KURTHPeter Kurth @RLE, R�mlang (CH)Wed Apr 01 1992 13:0469
    Hi
    
    Now, it works. I'm still guessing why it works, but it works. Here the
    story:
    
    I sent a message to another user, read the mail and deleted the RMS file
    OA$SHARA2:ZUBPFGEWH.WPL. Both me and the other user have an entry in DOCDB
    and there is an entry in OA$SHARA:OA$DAF_E.DAT.
    
    TRM several times only reports, but does not delete anything (Check Body
    Files is always 2).
    
    I then played with OA$FCVR_MISS_TEXT.DAT to find out which user has
    pointers. Because I renamed this file, the next TRM run reported:
    
    	Version 2.4-K603-1
    
    	Could not open oa$fcvr_miss_text.dat
    	file not found
    	References to missing shared area text files will not be deleted on this run
    
    and TRM created a new data file.
    
    The log file also contained
    
    	New DOCDB record created to reference OA$SHARE1:ZSFDAZURP.WPL
    
    and
    
    	SDAF record with zero usage count and no RMS text file deleted
    	  Key = OA$SHARE1:ZSGFAYBOT.WPL
    
    because I delete some obsolete records from PENDING.DAT (references to
    OA$SHAREn did not match the list for missing files) and one user
    deleted two DOCDB entries.
    
    
    The next time I ran TRM, everything works like documented:
    
    	DOCDB reference deleted: RMS text file OA$SHARA2:ZUBPFGEWH.WPL not
    	found
    	 Folder  = GELESEN                        Number = 000027
    	 Title   = SDAF record with reference to it, but no RMS text file
    
    and as a summery
    
    	Number of DOCDB.DAT records deleted:.....       41
    
    
    Phase 3 said:
    
    	SDAF record and all references to missing RMS text file deleted
    	  Key = OA$SHARA2:ZUBPFGEWH.WPL
    
    and as a summary
    
    	Total number of missing text files.........        1
    	Total number of deleted SDAF records:.........        1
    
    
    The "Listing missing shared area text files" lists still all files
    (which is correct).
    
    
    A ran TRM again (the last time) and the list is gone!
    
    Does anybody has an explanation, why it works now?
    
    Regards, Peter
