3986.0. "EW Hous. Proc. exits with error" by ATHINA::RALLIS (Nicholas Rallis) Wed Mar 16 1994 08:37

    The EW housekeeping procedure runs, it processes several users and 
    then, all of sudden while processing a user it gives the following
    error (taken from the log file):
    
    Drawer: [XXXX.YYYY]MAIN emptying wastebasket
    INCREMENT needs at least 1 parameter(s), only 0 supplied
    Command syntax error in INCREMENT<CR><LF> #no_of_drawers<CR><LF> -^ Error
    Drawer: [XXXX.YYYY]MAIN reorganized
    
    It then continues to process users and then further down while
    processing another user it crashes for good and exits! 
    Here is that part of the log file:
    
    Drawer: [LAMBRAKIS.PANAGIOTIS]MAIN emptying wastebasket
    ^G^G<CR><LF><CR><LF><CR><LF><CR><LF>ALL-IN-1 has been shut down
    Due to system housekeeping<CR><LF><CR><LF>
    %SM_EW-E unexpected error condition
    -DELETE-W-FILNOTDEL, error deleting !AS
    %SM_EW-I-DONE processing complete for %SM_EW
    %SMJACKET-I Invoking common END_BATCH procedure
    %END_BATCH-I Performing End batch job procedures for "EW"
    
    And then it completes the log file and exits.
    
    Any clue on the above?

    Hi,
    
    I think you can ignore the first error. The ability for EW to crash
    unexpectedly has been reported before and it is always when the
    reorganize drawer option has been selected. I am of the theory that it
    it is RMS Convert that is crashing, but I have no proof.
    
    Cheers

3986.2EW used to work OK...ATHINA::RALLISNicholas RallisWed Mar 16 1994 12:2810
    Stuart,
    
    thanks, any idea what I should do? Should I exclude the REORG. FIL.
    CAB. option from this h/k procedure?  The EW h/k proc. used to work o.k. 
    for almost over a year and a half! It started doing this lately...
    
    
    regards
    
    Nicholas

    Hi,
    
    Yes do try running without reorg to prove that it is in that area. Did
    you change your VMS version in the last year & a half?
    
    Cheers

3986.4OK, I'll try it.ATHINA::RALLISNicholas RallisWed Mar 16 1994 13:3213
    OK, I' ll try your suggestion. 
    
    Yes, our VMS is V5.5-2, since last August, with ALL-IN-1 V3.0 installed 
    in June 1992.
    
    I am leaving now for a customer site (out of town). Be back on Mon. 
    morning. Bye and cheers. I 'll schedule the EW for the week-end without
    the REORG. option and I'll let you know.
    
    
    thanks again,
    
    Nicholas
