2351.0. "CART report without status A elements" by ZUR01::PLATTNER () Wed Mar 03 1993 14:18

Hi,
   
   we ran the CART before upgrading ALL-IN-1 V2.4 (VMSINSTAL RC 1) for 
   a primary language.

   At customer site we optained completely different reports, especially
   there was 
           - no single A status element reported.
 
   On customers site no patch was installed on A1 V2.4, whereas on our 
   reference system the K patches had been installed including the 
   WPS-PLUS V4.0 option. 
  
     On our reference system about 413 status A element were reported. On
   the other hand no single status K element was reported, which seems
   to contradict the statement in the CART book "Overview 1.3 Running the 
   CART on Modified ALL-IN-1 Systems" and appendix A.

   Anyway I have now some doubts as to the reliability of the CART run.
   Before upgrading at customer site I would like to resolve the problems.
   Can anybody help me ?
    
   Best regards
    Georges

2351.1A light CART is a good CARTAIMTEC::WICKS_AI dreamt I found a working printer!Wed Mar 03 1993 17:0817
    Georges,
    
    Having no A's is definitely very strange but isn't something that
    should prevent you from upgrading. Perhaps there is something wrong
    with the SDC elements file on that system - were there any errors
    during the CART run - either written to the screen or logged into
    the CART report. what happend if you go to ADE (access digital
    elements) and try and select ACTIONSEL FRM ENGLISH.
    
    Having no K's is good and i'm not sure I understand why you were
    expecting any.
    
    Regards,

2351.2Seems a bit strangeUTES09::EIJSSimon Eijs @Utrecht; 838-2558Wed Mar 17 1993 08:5520
    
    George,
    
    Did any message appear like:
    
      %CART-I-PROC xx:xx Processing deleted element <name> <type> <area> 
    
    If not, then something must have gone wrong before this part of the
    CART and the CART should have 'stopped' in the first place.
    If these messages appeared, but no elements with status A were
    reported then the only reason why this might have happened is that all
    deleted elements in V3.0 (as mentioned in CM$CART$BASE$CHANGES*.DAT)
    did have an entry in CM$SITELOG, meaning they had been modified.
    Obviously these elements then should have had status "H" (element found
    in CM$SITELOG as modification of a Base element, and Base element will
    now be deleted). However, this sityuation seems a bit odd.
    
    Ciao,

Hello Andrew, ciao Simon,

Thanks for your assistance. 
For the moment the customer is working on a CoExistent installation. But the
upgrade has still to be done and the problem is still there.
 
   The status of the A-element problem is as follows:

CM$SITELOG	 does not contain any e.g ACTIONSEL, AICLOS etc
cm$sdc_elements	 does contain e.g. ACTIONSEL, AICLOS etc


In addition to the lack of status A elements we discovered other anomalies:

The customer has modified e.g. his MAIN FRM. I think somewhere in the CART 
report this element should appear with some status (,may be as status P) 
since MAIN is one of the modified BASE elements.

Checks:
Looking more closly at CM$CART$BASE$CHANGES*.DAT the customer reported:
- It is only 138 BLOCKs in size (3525 on our reference system). 
- The result of a dump/record is empty!
 The file has a 'Revised:' date of "24-Feb-1993" although on the 5-Mar-1993 
the CART has been rerun to check if the changes applied on B and C status 
elements were successful.

As [ALLIN1.SITE]CM$CART$BASE$CHANGES$OA$V30$PRIMARY.dat is created during the 
CART installation the lack of completeness could indicate some anomalies in
the kit.


Do you have some suggestions for further checks, how to locate/remove 
the problem?


Kind regards
Georges


Follow some lines of the CART installation logfile:

a) around %CART-I-PROC xx:xx Processing deleted elements 
   NB: There is no such statement at customersite!
 
b) around MAIN FRM
   The element does appear with the same number as in CM$SITELOG

2351.4Not very helpful, but...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer&#039;s ApprenticeMon Apr 19 1993 12:274
    138 blocks is the size you get from the initial sizes in the FDL if you
    create a new file.

    Once the file has been "created" during the installation, it should
    never be modified. All subsequent accesses to it should be read only.
    
    The V2.4 upgrade version of the file in the kit has the following
    creation and modified dates:
    
    	V24$CM$CART$BASE$CHANGES.DAT  16-MAR-1992 14:19  4-AUG-1992 11:48
    
    The file name in the kit is changed during the installation.
    
    It looks like someone has either recreated this file from the FDL, or
    we somehow gave you an empty one. Perhaps we always do that for fresh
    installations - Co-ex is mostly a fresh installation.

    Form MAIN should have status code P.  It's a non-mandatory change.
    
    You seem to have a bad CART base changes file.  Why not copy the
    version from your system onto the customer's system and try to rerun
    the CART there?

    Thanks for your assistance.
    We will rerun the CART after having exchanged A1LUS030.M
    The file at customer site was only of 522 BLOCKs  in size (instead of
    9450 BLOCKs)

2351.8Which kit?IOSG::BURTONALL-IN-1 BuilderWed Apr 21 1993 16:0316
    Georges,
    
    	Which kit does the customer have?   This sounds like he has a
    British kit, but has installed using the English language i.e.
    no dialect was specified.
    
    The A1LUS030.M saveset in the British kit contains empty cart files.
    When the British Dialect is selected, populated cart files are taken
    from the A1DUS_GB030.A saveset.  
    
    If the customers V2.4 system is British, the English cart files from
    'your' A1LUS030.M will give incorrect results.  This is because the
    language is part of the key used to look up each element. 
    
    
    Martin.
