2704.0. "cart run in batch" by AIMTEC::BUTLER_T () Wed May 12 1993 13:27

    We have a customer testing to see if he can run the cart
    report on different nodes in the corporate network.  They
    want to run this in batch.  Thus, saving them money
    for expenses.
    
    customer reply:
    
    I managed to create an answer file on our system and to copy it over to
    the test system.  When I run the process in batch, it seems to sit in a
    LEF state after the point wehre it writes the message
            %CART-I-CRE HH:MM Creating CART datafiles.
    
    That is the last message in the log file.
    
    It sat like this for 12 hours last night.
    
    It does not do this if run interactively.
    
    What might be the problem?
         
    
    Any information, suggestions, appreciated.

2704.1Vaguely....IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed May 12 1993 14:298
    It might be one of these things to do with WPS-PLUS needing a real
    screen there to do certain operations. You know, like the problems you
    get in /NOINIT sometimes.
    
    Could you stick some trace or verify on and see what it was doing?
    Could it be waiting for a prompt answer or something?

2704.3CART loops == Tim Butler?AIMTEC::WICKS_Aon the Streets of San FranciscoWed May 12 1993 17:2711
    Tim,
    
    Do you have the franchise for CART loops (after all note 957 is yours)
    
    Have you exploded the KITINSTAL yet? 
    
    P.S I never did like Barclays (:==:)

2704.4AMERICAN and DIGITAL disk-controllers???AIMTEC::WICKS_AAlphatraz - Coming Summer 93Thu May 13 1993 01:3414
    Tim,
    
    What I meant to say in the P.S to .3 and forgot to add is of course that the
    customer in question is in fact running an unsupported language version
    of ALL-IN-1 in the U.S - I don't know if it's relevant but I thought i'd
    mention it.
    
    P.S and looking at the old code stuff it wouldn't be a waste of time
        asking him what disk controller he's running (yes that old
        chestnut)
        
    Regards,

    Thanks - I will check the controller. Below is what I have received 
    from them thus far.
    
      
    
    
      System ASNF01 is a VAX 4000-300 running VMS V5.5-2.
      (HW Ver=00D30000000000000B000006, SID=0B000006, XSID=01340401,
    DSN=V1.2)
    
    It is still sitting in the LEF state with only nominal changes in the
    CPU time used and it shows the current file/application as being:
            ANYK08$DUA2:[ALLIN1.LIB_SHARE]OA$MAIN.EXE
    
    In case it makes any difference, other items showing on the show
    proc/cont
    screen include:PC=7FFEE46A, PSL=03C00004, USER SP=7FF1F308,
    EVENT FLAGS=60200000 & E0000000.  The working set is 1898 and the
    virtual pages are 10336.  I still have not been able to figure out what
    it
    is waiting for.
    
    From the log file, which I will also send, it seems that it stopped at
    the point of creating the CM files.
    
    
    Command he is using for batch run:
    
    ! A1030_CART_BATCH.COM
    $!
    $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
    $!
    $ IF (F$MODE() .NES. "INTERACTIVE") THEN GOTO SKIPSUB
    $SKIPSUB:
    $!
    $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL A1030 SFCD:[A1030.KIT] OPTIONS

2704.6just a shot!AIMTEC::BUTLER_TWed May 19 1993 13:2717
    I am still trying to get this guy to open up the save set and start
    tracing.  He is starting to get the idea, see below.
    
    Anyway, here is a quick question that may jog someones memory and get it
    down to a specific script or command file.
    
    
    I am suspecting though that there is a point in the process early on where
    it tries to run A1, ie: I see it run oa$main on the sho proc, and at that
    point something in the process needs something that would be there for an
    interactive process that is not there for a batch process.  It could be a
    logical or a symbol or something else.  It might be related to the process
    mailbox.
     
    Thanks,

2704.7If only we had a CART expert to help!AIMTEC::WICKS_AAlphatraz - Coming Summer 93Wed May 19 1993 15:3214
    Tim,
    
    i can see exactly where it runs up ALL-IN-1 and what it does thereafter
    opens form-libraries, calls two scripts - in fact the files should
    still be out there on the machine we have the v3.0 savesets on.
    
    I didn't see anything weird going on - which is why i asked about
    the disk controllers - the message he's seeing is very early on
    in the second of the scripts (CM_CART_DRIVER).
    
    regards,

2704.8CART Expert ?????AIMTEC::BUTLER_TWed May 19 1993 20:278
    Thanks Andrew!
    
    Barclay is being quiet about the disk(s).
    
    I am trying to get them to tell me about cm_cart_dirver or
    beyond that.
