4094.0. "SSRWAIT flag" by KERNEL::SIMPSONR (fred) Wed Apr 20 1994 12:31

 ALL-IN-1 V3.0

 I have a customer who spawns out of ALL-IN-1 and the runs various applications.
 These applications usually run fine except occasionally they fail with errors.
 After much investigation he tracked it down to the fact that ALL-IN-1 appears
 to be setting the SRRWAIT flag sometimes. When the flag is set and a certain
 application run, it falls over. He believes that ALL-IN-1 is issuing a command
 similar to:

    $SET PROC/NORESOURCE_WAIT

 The question he has, is when does ALL-IN-1 apply the above command to a spawned 
 sub-process, under what circumstances. If it has been applied then it will fall
 over for lack of system dynamic memory, direct I/O limit, buffered I/O limit, or 
 buffered I/O byte count (buffer space) quota.

 Thanks In advance,
 Richard Simpson.

4094.1You learn something new every day!IOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Wed Apr 20 1994 13:3115
    Well, I was amazed to find, on searching the sources, that ALL-IN-1
    actually does set NoResourceWait on occasion!
    
    The circumstance which causes this is if you have ALL-IN-1 logging
    turned on - is this the case at your customer's? (The reason is that it
    doesn't want to block while waiting to write to the logging mailbox).
    
    Logging is, of course, controlled on a per-user basis by the LOG flag
    in the user profile, as well as at system level by logical name
    definition. So this could be why it's only happening "sometimes" (i.e.
    to some users).
    
    HTH,
    
    Dave.
