408.0. "Doing an index from em goes into a loop" by GIDDAY::SETHI (Man from Downunder) Fri Apr 03 1992 08:02

    G'day,
    
    One of our customers has a problem with INDEX's going into a loop.
    ALL-IN-1 Version 2.4 and VMS Version 5.4.
    
    The nature of the problem is as follows :-(
    
    1. From the EM (always EM) a user does an index II,IR or IO
    
    2. In one case II it displays the messages on the index form and
       nothing else happens.  The system manager does a show proc and see
       that the process is in compute state eating up the cpu.  Does a
       control c and "process activity stopped" is displayed and the user
       can carry on working.
    
    3. Customer reads a message then wants to answer enters A.  When the
       prompt "Do you wish to send to [S] send etc." comes up they do an
       exit screen the process goes into compute state.  Same as 2.
    
    The customer once a week reorganises the SDAF, user filing cabinets,
    etc. and not errors are ever reported.  This occures once a day or
    more.
    
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.

408.1Some more informationGIDDAY::SETHIMan from DownunderFri Apr 03 1992 09:1321
    Hi,
    
    The customer has provided me with some more infomation :-)
    
    1. The document that was sent out had a long Distribution List afew 100
       users.
    
    2. A person answered the message to all the addresses.
    
    3. When the message in 2. was read and the user went to answer (A) it
       process when into a loop.
    
    4. If a user does a MCD the user can answer the message with any
       problems.
    
    I have suggested that the customer does an ANALYZE/RMS/CHECK on the
    SDAF to make sure it is not corrupted.  It's 100,000 block.
    
    I hope this gives you some more clues.

408.2Site defined function caused the problemGIDDAY::SETHIMan from DownunderThu May 07 1992 04:4110
    G'day,
    
    The customer had a site defined function that was causing the problem. 
    As soon as the function was removed no more looping and when it was
    included the problem came back.
    
    I wish customers would let you know what customizations they have
    carried out.
