PROBLEM/SOLUTION ARTICLE OUTLINE
BRIEF PROBLEM OUTLINE: ALL-IN-1 Fetcher logs SYSTEM-W-PRODNOTINS error after
receiving DECmailworks for DOS Wordperfect attachments.
PRODUCT: VMS V5.5-1
LAYERED PRODUCT: DECmailworks for DOS V1.1A, ALL-IN-1 V2.4
DATE: 24-Sep-1990
SOURCE: Customer Support Center/Hull, Canada
SYMPTOMS/PROBLEM:
DECmailworks for DOS users creates a mail message and send it to his ALL-IN-1
IOS account. The message is never received.
At the point that the message reaches the A1 mailbox in Message Router, the
ALL-IN-1 fetcher runs and logs the following errors in OAMTIMAIL.LOG:
$ ALLIN1/NOINIT/USER=POSTMASTER/PASSWORD=DECMAIL
OA$INI_INITIALIZE
MAIL MTI_FETCH_REMOTE
%SYSTEM-W-PRODNOTINS, optional software product WPCorp OA not installed
XPO-E-FREE_MEM, dynamic memory deallocation error
XPO-E-BAD_ADDR, invalid memory address
.
.
.
ANALYSIS:
The customer is running the Wordperfect Integration product in ALL-IN-1 IOS.
They have modified the FILE_TYPE file in DECmailworks for VMS server as
documented in the DECmailworks Release Notes, in order to be able to
interchange Wordperfect/DOS attachments to/from ALL-IN-1 IOS successfully.
See the DECmailworks release notes in SYS$HELP:A1MAIL011_EN.RELEASE_NOTES,
pages 3 & 4 for details.
With the Wordperfect Integration product, the OAINI.SCP script has been
customized to initialize Wordperfect when users invoke ALL-IN-1 IOS
interactively. It calls the WPCORP_OA20_INIT script to do the initialization.
SOLUTION:
In order for the ALL-IN-1 fetcher (OAMTIMAIL batch job) to be able to deliver
Wordperfect/DOS attachments coming from DECmailworks for DOS to ALL-IN-1 IOS
user, it must also explicitely initialize Wordperfect.
At the point of running ALL-IN-1, OAMTIMAIL.COM must also call the
WPCORP_OA20_INIT script:
$ ALLIN1/NOINIT/USER=POSTMASTER/PASSWORD=DECMAIL
OA$INI_INITIALIZE
DO WPCORP_OA20_INIT
