700.0. "SHOW DEV/FILE still sess removed installed image" by GIDDAY::CHEUNG ("CSC, Sydney") Fri Jun 06 1997 03:44

Just wonder if someone seen this problem before:

The following example demonstrates adding an Oracle image and removing it, SHOW
DEVICE/FILE can still find the opened entry.

Further adding and removal of the installed image will add another entry in the
SHOW DEVICE/FILE list. The addition stopped until it reached 4 entries in the
SHOW DEVICE/FILE and dropped back to 2 entries.

I went into SDA to check all the opened channels and there's none being opening
this installed image. I suppose it shouldn't have any open channel since INSTALL
REMOVE can remove the image.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John,

How long did you wait after the removal to look at the disk file list?  
Removing the file is immediate in the KFE but the deletion of the global 
section may be delayed (I want to say 1 second here) and thus VMS will have 
an open channel to the section backing store file.
