KEYWORDS: Rdb  OpenVMS  

TITLE:    DBMS Gateway IVP Fails and DBMS is a Multi-Version Environment

PRODUCT:  Rdb Transparent Gateway for DBMS V1.0B

OP/SYS:   OpenVMS VAX V5.5 and higher

SOURCE:   Oracle Worldwide Customer Support


SYMPTOM:

You are running DBMS in a multi-version environment and your standard or
default version of DBMS is lower than the version of DBMS that the 
Tranparent Gateway supports, for example DBMS V4.2.  

Before installing DBIG for DBMS you set the DBMS version to 6.0 (or a higher
version that the gateway supports) with sys$library:dbmsetver in order 
to use a version of DBMS that is compatible with the Rdb Transparent Gateway
for DBMS.

The IVP for the Rdb Transparent Gateway for DBMS fails.


RESPONSE: 

Do not run the IVP as part of the installation procedure if you are
running DBMS in a multi-version environment and your default DBMS
environment cannot be used with the gateway for DBMS.  Once the installation
is complete, run sys$library:dbmsetver again and reset the version of DBMS to 
6.0 or higher.  Then run the IVP interactively.


ANALYSIS:

VMSINSTAL deletes certain key symbols necessary for the DBMS multi-version 
environment, and as a result you end up running the default version of
DBMS for the system.  The IVP should run correctly after running 
sys$library:dbmsetver to reset the DBMS environment.

                    -< IVP for DBIG DBMS fails if DBMS MV >-

DBIG for DBMS 1.0B
DBMS Multiversion where the default DBMS environment is lower than
 what is supported for DBIG for DBMS such as DBMS 4.2.


PROBLEM:

Your default DBMS version is 4.2.  Before installing DBIG for DBMS
you set the DBMS version to 6.0 with sys$library:dbmsetver in order 
to use a version of DBMS that is compatible with DBIG for DBMS.

The IVP for the DBIG for DBMS fails.


SOLUTION:

Do not run the IVP as part of the installation procedure if you are
running DBMS in a multi-version environment and your default DBMS
environment cannot be used with DBIG for DBMS.  Once the installation
is complete, please run sys$library:dbmsetver again and reset the 
version of DBMS to 6.0.  Then run the IVP interactively.


ANALYSIS:

VMSINSTAL deletes certain key symbols necessary for the DBMS multi-version 
environment, and as a result you end up running the default version of
DBMS for the system.  The IVP should run correctly after running 
sys$library:dbmsetver to reset the DBMS environment.
