627.0. "Define lat$symparameter 16, any limitations?" by HTSC19::KENNETH () Thu May 22 1997 00:21

Hi,

There is a customer report that when printing a job from the print queue
he will get LBR-E-TOOMNYLIB error.

From TIMA STAR, there is an article telling us that  it is because more than 
sixteen LATSYM based print queues using device control libraries on the same
host.  We have to "$define/system/exec lat$symparameter 16".

My question is :

1) If my customer has more than 16 LATSYM based print queues, what will happen?
   Do we limit the number of LATSYM based print queue to 16?

2) What can we do if we have more than 16 LATYSYM based print queues?


Thanks for your help in advance.

627.1	Defining the logical should do it....	OSLAGE::AGE_P	Aage Ronning, Oslo, Norway, (DTN 872-8464)	`Thu May 22 1997 02:38`	7
	1. If I remember correctly the logical will limit the number of queues pr. symbiont to 16. That does NOT limit the number of queues to 16, it does the opposite. 2. Define the logical. \�ge
627.2	Queues > 16 will a new symbiont automatically creaed?	HTSC19::KENNETH		`Thu May 22 1997 03:12`	11
	Hi, Thanks for your help. Does that mean if I have more than 16 queues, than I should consider adding another symbiont? Will the queue manager create the new symbiont automatically when the first symbiont reach the limit of 16 queues after we define the logical? Thanks again, Kenneth
627.3	LBR$ limitiation - define logical BEFORE starting queues	HAN::HALLE	Volker Halle MCS @HAO DTN 863-5216	`Thu May 22 1997 03:51`	12
	Kenneth, this is NOT a LATSYM problem/limitation. It is a limitation of the library LBR$ routines (see info in note HAN::LOOPING_LATSYM 71.2). Setting LAT$SYMPARAMETER to 16 (BEFORE starting the FIRST LATSYM print queue !!!) will limit the number of queues handled by each LATSYM print symbiont to 16. For the 17th LATSYM queue, the queue manager will AUTOMATICALLY create a new symbiont process (and for the 33rd ...). Volker.
