730.0. "After Partition already in name cache" by KERNEL::COOPER (Suzanne Cooper UK Customer Support (833)3502) Wed May 20 1992 18:40

    I've read 611 and deassigned the logical sys$cluster_node so the error
    has changed from Partition already in name cache to no error and a 
    dissappearing process.   The process terminates with %fdl-e-syntax,
    error in syntax (nofile names just !ad's and !as's).
    The server startup appears to create the process and the log
    file completes with any no errors, but there never seems to be a
    obj_73 process in NCP.
    
    The logical was defined during the installation, would this make the
    Filecab Server never work?  we've tried starting the server from within
    ALL-IN-1 and by shutting down and starting up ALL-IN-1.
    
    CAn anybody suggest anything to check. Almost forgot it's a coexistent
    system, would that make any difference?

730.1who owns oa$lib:profile.fdlCHRLIE::HUSTONThu May 21 1992 15:2812
    
    Suzanne,
    
    The FCS has an open bug against it that if the ownership of
    profile.fdl is anything other than [ALLIN1], then we will
    not start.
    
    Check the ownership of OA$LIB:PROFILE.FDL, if it is not 
    [ALLIN1], then set the owner to ALLIN1 and try again.

    Although I got then to change the profile.fdl ownership to [allin1] it
    didn't appear to make a difference,  the full error in accountng is 
    %FDL-e-syntax, syntax error in statement !ul !+!+!\ /AD\
    
    Still won't start and stay started.

    It wasn't the fact that the owner of the profile.fdl wasn't [allin1],
    it was that the fdl had a syntax error on line 15 i.e. the owner field
    and that was set to [system].  Once we changed it the server started
    and stayed.  
    
    Thanks bob for the clue

730.4Clarify results pleaseXLII::FDONOHUEThu May 21 1992 19:5822
    
    As a not yet graduated student of Terry Porters FCS course, I
    would like to clarify something.  The material in Terrys course
    contains the information that it appears Suzanne has experienced
    here, which is that the FCS parses the PROFILE.FDL and if its
    contents contain an error, then you will see the %FDL error
    when trying to start the FCS.  But, per .1 and .3 I am confused.
    Does the OWNER specified in the contents of the FDL have to
    be ALLIN1 or does the owner of the file PROFILE.FDL have to be
    ALLIN1?   
    
     I think that the parsing is successful if the contents of the
    FDL specifies any valid VMS user account name on the system.
    Please clarify, did setting the owner to SYSTEM within the FDL fix 
    the problem or cause the problem (ie it was not ALLIN1)? 
    
    Curiously confused,

730.5Yep, the Owner field is the important oneAIMTEC::PORTER_TTerry Porter, ALL-IN-1 Support, Atlanta CSCThu May 21 1992 20:2415
    When I was trying to reproduce this bug when writing my class material
    I found that the owner of the FDL file itself was not relevant what was
    important was the owner field inside the FDL and as long as that was a
    valid VMS user the FCS would start OK.
    
    Of course if the owner field is not [ALLIN1] (or the name of the
    ALL-IN-1 manager's account) then you may get problems when the profile
    is converted and ends up being owned by the wrong user.
    
    Terry
    
    P.S. If anyone is interested I intend making my course notes available
    on the net once I have removed the typos, probably early next week. I
    will post it's location in this conference once it is ready.

    to claryify the point in .4  the fdl appeared to have a syntax error on
    line 15 (which was the owner field)  This stopped the Server starting. 
    One this line was changed to [ALLIN1] the syntax error was not there so
    the Server started.
