1277.0. "Can't delete EMDDSNOUA error" by EWBV51::NAGURA (Yukiji Nagura /ALL-IN-1 CSC/Tokyo/Japan) Thu Aug 20 1992 08:55

	  Infamous EMSDDSNOUA Nightmare again !

	My customer's ALL-IN-1 disk went bad, and they restored the backup
      saveset from the tape. When the backup was taken, they weren't using
      mail directory, so all the setup required has been done from the 
      beginning. After they did USERAGENT_POST, reentering ALL-IN-1,
      then received EMDDSNOUA on EM menu.

	I'm an experienced CSC, so I checked USERAGENT.DDSID and 
      UAPASSRWD.DDSID, they match exactly, PROFIL.DDSID["MANAGER"],
      SUBSCRIBER.DDSID["MANAGER"] and SUBSCRIBER:UNIQID.DDSID["OA$node$ALLIN1]
      have the same DDSID. But EMDDSNOUA is always there.
	After and after deleting DDS UA object, re-creating it, and the same
      to MANAGER's SUBSCIBER object, UAPASSWRD.DAT, then USERAGENT_POST,
      the error cannot be eliminated.

	Any cure to it ?

    Yukiji,
    
    Make sure OA$PRIMARY_NODE is defined with the '::' on the end and in
    EXEC mode. Also ensure that the password in UAPASSWRD is in uppercase.
    
    Apart from that I'd have to see the entries.
    
    Regards,

1277.2Thanks, but colons are there.EWBV51::NAGURAYukiji Nagura /ALL-IN-1 CSC/Tokyo/JapanFri Aug 21 1992 05:5214

	Parhaps you mean SYS$NODE or SYS$CLUSTER_NODE. Yes, the logical
     has defined with trailing colons. In A1V24START.COM, OA$PRIMARY_NODE
     is to be defined as SYS$NODE minus two colons.

	BTW, Next week I'm going to attend to the Advanced Techinical Seminar,
     do you happen to be there, Atlanta's most --famous Welshman ?

Are you talking about the infamous;

'User agent object is unkown in the mail directory'

I spent the best part of a day tearing my hair out over one of these, turned
out to be that the UAPASSWRD data file was sequential rather than indexed (shown
by a dir/full).

Fix was to recreate file using <CREATE UAPASSWRD from within ALL-IN-1 then 
re-adopt mail directory.

Anther common gotcha with this type of problem are duplicate records in the 
UAPASSWRD data file. Do <FORM UAPASSWRD and press find should only be one record.
Sometimes a blank record may occur and it this is the case you will have to 
recreate file as above.

Another one for my Stars article to write list!

	After a long time of investigation (much more struggle), this problem
      finally got fixed.

	The point was several DUMP_CACHEs individually to SUBSCRIBER, PROFIL
      USERAGENT DSABs. Sometimes we'd got LIB$FREE_VM errors before. So some
      in-memory blocks might be corrupted after USERAGENT_POST.SCP.
