1749.0. "Invalid TLV stream when trying to select drawer" by WAYOUT::TALBOT (Trevor Talbot) Tue Nov 10 1992 15:10

Hi,

	Can anyone suggest why the following error might
be displayed:

%OAFC-E-TLVBADSTREAM, Invalid TLV stream
%oa-i-lastline, No item satisfied search criteria

When the Manager account is trying select a drawer, 
he first does an index and presses find without 
specifying an owner it is here that the error pops
up, he then gets returned to the menu.

1749.1Not sure how you're getting this!IOSG::STANDAGEOink...Oink...MoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooTue Nov 10 1992 16:1425
    
    
    Hi Trev,
    
    >>%OAFC-E-TLVBADSTREAM, Invalid TLV stream        
    
    This message is returned from the Filecabinet server. The invalidity of
    the TLV stream is either due to it being out of range or unknown
    attribute types/tags. (I think !)
    
    Could you possibly give me more information as to the keystrokes you
    are performing to reproduce this, at the moment I'm not even sure what
    subsystem you're in !
    
    If it is reproducable, attempt to stop/restart the server(s) and see
    what happens then. Also, take a look at the bottom of the server log
    file (SYS$MANAGER:OAFC$SERVER.LOG) and see if there is any useful
    errors written there.
    
    Let me know the scoop,
    Kevin.
1749.2Need more informationCHRLIE::HUSTONThu Nov 12 1992 16:1011
    
    Kevin is right, more info is needed as to EXACTLY what you are doing.
    
    invalid TLV stream comes from the FCS, it is returned when we received
    a request for an attribute that we don't know about, or an attribute
    request stream that is improperly built.
    
    More information is needed.

1749.3Think I've got it too.IOSG::STANDAGEOink...Oink...MoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooThu Nov 19 1992 15:3244
    
    I've managed to reproduce this now...
    
    On our performance machine, we have 361 drawers in the partition.
    If the Manager enters ALL-IN-1, goes to SM MFC MD, does IAD and just
    presses return - the first 16 drawers are displayed.
    
    From here :
    
    GOLD-B (to the 361st drawer) gives :
    
    OAFC-E-BUFFUNFL, Invalid length specified for TLV buffer
    
    
    Typing 222 (to go to the 222nd entry) works.
    
    Typing 223 (to go to the 223rd entry) produces the same error message.
    THe same applies for any entry after the 223rd.
    
    
    If the manager goes to the 222nd entry and then tries to progress
    further by typing a later number (say 300), then this error is
    returned:
    
    Invalid TLV stream passed in
    
    
    The only workround seems to be going to the 222nd entry and just
    pressing NextScreen endlessly - this seems to function normally.
    
    
    Incidently, this bug exists in other related areas. If the
    manager does IAD and enters an Owner that doesn't exist, the FCS
    happily runs through the partition until the same problem is found,
    and the same error message is returned.
    
    
    IPR Time!
    
    Kevin.
1749.8Nope on both counts (I think!)IOSG::STANDAGEThu Dec 09 1993 10:0610
    
    Paul,
    
    To the best of my knowledge I don't believe this is fixed in either
    MUPA or V3.0-1.
    
    Sorry,
    Kevin.
