1103.0. "HouseHold job missing entry_number..." by TAV02::CHAIM (Semper ubi Sub ubi .....) Thu Jul 23 1992 11:01

We have a customer running V2.4 who is unable to edit/delete some of his jobs
in housekeeping. The queue_job.com procedure exits with a missing param DCL
error. Using set ver we see that the entry_number is empty. Using the
SM_GENERIC_UTILITY_SCHEDULE form we see that indeed the entry_number is empty.
What could be causing this?

Thanks,

1103.1Perhaps when rescheduling...TAV02::CHAIMSemper ubi Sub ubi .....Sun Jul 26 1992 07:409
The customer has checked, and any newly created procedures do receive an
entry_number. Perhaps this is happening when the procedure reschedules itself.
The customer will update me. 

In the meantime, I'd appreciate input from anyone who has any idea.

Thanks,

1103.2After reboot, entry numbers gone ...TAV02::CHAIMSemper ubi Sub ubi .....Tue Jul 28 1992 13:2426
The customer just reported that it happened again AFTER his machine was
rebooted yesterday. All the jobs that were in MHP before the reboot are now
missing entry numbers. Any jobs submitted or automatically rescheduled after
the reboot have entry numbers.

Out of curiosity, I had the customer do a dir/date on the
oa$sm_util_schedule.dat file and it was created on July 25th. The customer
verified that on July 25th the RSF (Reorganize System Files) was run. This does
indeed reorganize the oa$sm_util_schedule.dat file, and I thought that here
might lie the problem. However, I ran this procedure on my test system (running
same version as the customer) and the entry numbers for my jobs did not
disapper. Besides, looking in the procedure, it appears that the procedure
basically does a convert/fdl which would not affect any of the actual data in
the file.

Are there any procedures which do any type of manipulation to this file that
could inadvertantly cause the entry numbers to be blown away. 

Does anyone see how the rebooting of the machine (and of course having ALL-IN-1
restarted) could be connected?

Thanks,

Cb. 

 
1103.3QUEUE not defined on all nodes...TAV02::CHAIMSemper ubi Sub ubi .....Thu Jul 30 1992 10:1215
I have some more input which may be relavent:

The customer runs ALL-IN-1 on a four node cluster with each node maintaining
its own JBCSYSQUE.DAT file. The queue upon which the MHP jobs run is defined
and exists on ONLY one of these nodes.

The customer always receives errors when ALL-IN-1 starts up on any of the nodes
which do not have this queue defined at the point where the startup attempts to
reschedule any housekeeping procedures.

Could this be causing the loss of the entry numbers?

Thanks,

Cb.
