667.0. "FCS Question" by MSDSWS::DUNCAN (I'm in trouble again!) Mon May 11 1992 20:09

    
    I'm trying to get some information for my customer and sales rep.
    
    There is a FCS that ships with V3.0, but it is local only.  One has to
    buy a license to allow outbound service, right?  Is this available now
    and if so, are there any part #'s?
    
    My sales rep was told that we had local only.  Is this because the V3.0
    FCS is not available yet?
    
    
    Confused, (So what's new)

    Darryl,
    
    What you're looking for is called the Distributed Sharing Option
    this is a future product so i'm personally going to say no more about
    it here other than it uses the same FCS as shipped with v3.0.
    
    There is/was more discussion on this in both the A1INFO conference
    and the old Field Test conference both of which you have access to.
    
    Regards,

667.2Minor point on dist sharing option...CHRLIE::HUSTONMon May 11 1992 22:1518
    
    Darryl,
    
    One small point I would like to point out in your .0 though...

    As Andrew indicated in .1, the dist sharing option is what is needed to
    fully utilize the FCS. Without it the FCS can do local operations and
    ask for information from other nodes. THe license enables a server 
    to give out its information to anyone who asks. It does not control 
    your server from asking for information. In other words, the option
    enables a server to give out information, it does not control a server
    from asking for information.

667.3FCS priorityGIDDAY::BURTScythe my dandelions down, sportThu Jun 02 1994 06:1918
Hello and greetings,


This is competely irrelevant to the base note, but it is FCS & it is a 
question.

We've had a customer complain that after a housekeeping run completes & fcs is 
restarted, it seems to start at a lower priority than normal. It appears that, 
although when the FCS is started, it starts with a priority of 5, when HK jobs 
stop/start the server, the priority is set to 3. HK jobs suspected are TRM & RSF


Any comments?


Thanks & regards,

Chele (attempting to recycle old notes)

    	If the server is a MUPa server the server startup routine
    	(SYS$STARTUP:OAFC$STARTUP.COM) will be testing for a system
    	logical, OAFC$SERVER_PRIORITY, which will set the base
    	priority when the server starts.
    
    	If the server isn't MUPa, the customer would have the choice
    	of upgrading to the MUP or modifying the server startup file
    	to specify a default base priority.
    
    	Pete.
667.5prio stuck at 3GIDDAY::BURTScythe my dandelions down, sportMon Jun 06 1994 02:1516
Hello and greetings once again,

The customer has installed "part of the mupa". sigh. 
Although he has set the system logical to have the priority at 7, and the 
server priority default is supposed to be 5, etc etc for some reason the 
priority never seems to change from 3.
The customer is contemplating setting up a login.com for the server with a 
$ set proc/prio     in it.

Any more hints? Please?

Thanks & regards,


Chele B
667.6WISHlist item?GIDDAY::BURTScythe my dandelions down, sportMon Jun 06 1994 08:4215
Hello again,

Could this be wish-listed please?

Customer found that ALL-IN-1 does not appear to even try to raise it's
privileges to include ALTPRI. If ALTRPRI is set on as a default & authorised
privilege, the priority is raised correctly.


Thanks & regards,
