Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

389.0. "BL123A Upgrade Anomoly" by ATLANA::SHERMAN (Debt Free!) Wed Apr 01 1992 17:06

   This past weekend our SAHQ VAXcluster was upgraded from BL90 to BL123A
   and all appears well.  Thanks to all involved on both sides of the Pond!

   From the FT conference we knew the "US CP" functionality had been changed
   so "Thanks" to whomever is responsible for fixing the problems from BL90!
   As a workaround we had advised our users to let their password expire then
   let VMS take care of the password change when they logged in, but it is
   always better to have the intended functionality work.

   I do have a somewhat bothersome problem that has surfaced and thought I
   should post it here in case it is something that may show up elsewhere.
   Something has modified our account creation templates so as to make them
   basically unusable.  I can edit them to fix the bogus entries so it's no
   big deal, just a pain.  After the <FF> are the pages with their munged
   fields; I hope someone can make some sense out of this ...

   Hth,

	Ron

    Ron,
    
    Sorry I haven't got a lot of time at the moment, but this looks
    suspiciously like a conversion of the account templates data file has
    gone wrong. Could you inspect the creation dates on
    oa$data:SM_ACCOUNT_TYPES.DAT and see if a recent conversion has been 
    done, and if there is an old file still around? If there is, rename the
    new one, and re-do the conversion manually. something like;
    $allin/noinit
    Enter CMD: oa$flo_open oa$lib:manager
    Enter CMD: oa$cnv_convert v24_smtemplate,smtemplate
    Enter CMD: exit
    Sorry if this is completely wrong idea.
    DaveT

    Going back to BL90, there wasa conversion on the TMEPLATES file - Did
    you do it? Did you have the tmeplates file customised? Was there an FDL
    for it anywhere?
    
    Graham

    Ron,
    
    Did you do all the manual conversion procedures - there were about 9
    mostly for SM and CM and i'm sure that going 90 to 110 SMTEMPLATE was
    one of them.
    
    Regards,

   Update to .0 - Yes, the conversion steps were followed.  In fact, that's
   what happened - the conversion was done _twice_, yielding the results
   found in .0 (cockpit error!).  I renamed the last version of the data
   file SM_ACCOUNT_TYPES.DAT and the templates are OK again.  Thanks for
   your suggestions.

   Bye the bye, a big "THANKS" also to the folk responsible for the dramatic
   improvement in UFCR time!!  I knew from the FT conference that there had
   been some changes somewhere around BL110 so I expected some improvement
   but this is great!

	Ron
