1837.0. "VMS 5.5/DECmcc 1.0/Motif 1.0" by F18::ROBERT () Thu Nov 21 1991 12:12

    Has anyone upgraded their VMS VAXstation to VMS 5.5, with DECmcc 1.1
    on it? Was there anything that you had to do to make this run? Any
    problems?
    
    Also can you use Motif 1.0 with the above scenario?
    
    Will DECmcc work with both VMS 5.5 and Motif 1.0?
    
    Thanks Dave

1837.1MOTIF V1.0 works fine; VMS V5.5 should be OKCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentThu Nov 21 1991 23:489
    I am currently running DECmcc V1.1 BMS along with several access
    modules under VMS 5.4-3 and DECwindows V3 (which includes Motif V1.0). 
    We will be upgrading to VMS V5.5 tomorrow.  I don't foresee any
    problems. 
    
    I believe I also saw a note from John Egolf stating that the
    development group is running VMS V5.5 now with no problems.

1837.3more 5.5 testingTOOK::CALLANDERMCC = My Constant CompanionWed Jan 08 1992 10:3411
    my husbands group also brought up 5.5 with BMS 1.1. We worked fine
    with the exception of a problem with DNS that required a patch.
    I am going to see about getting a pointer to the patch listed here.
    The patch was needed because of the speed of the system, it was
    a 6000/40 (4 processor system). The multiprocessing/speed got dns
    into a deadlock condition while in exec mode which caused the system to
    crash. We have NOT been able to reproduce this on any smaller systems
    (3100, 4000's).

1837.4Some other thoughts ...LATACP::J_HASSENCAHLCSC/Atlanta Network SupportWed Jan 08 1992 16:4717
Hello,

	The more that I think about this the more it seems like there is a good
chance that this is just a simple code/logic problem such that resource are
being allocated for the display of the statistics, but are not being released or
perhaps checked for when we come back around to display the updated information
at the next time interval.  This is just a display that is updating automatically
and not a one shot type of thing.

	Being that I do not know what the insides of things look like or how
they work, is this a possibility?  Perhaps someone who is more familar with the
code could validate/invalidate this possibility given the repeating nature of
the display.

Thanks,

John

    What is the problem?  I can't tell from the information in notes .0 -> .4. 
1837.6It consumes memory and never lets it go ....LATACP::J_HASSENCAHLCSC/Atlanta Network SupportFri Jan 17 1992 12:219
Hello,

	The problem is that while having about six DECwindows statistics displays
updating every minute the DECW$SERVER process gets larger and larger until it
can no longer expand its working set and dies.  The statistics are being pulled
from various lines on DECbridge 6xx's so you have some interaction with the
ELM AM.  Does that make it clear as to what the problem is?

John

Any problem with running the just-announced "DECmcc V1.2 Base Level 15 kits now

Thanks!

1837.8Don't knowTOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033Thu Feb 20 1992 14:363
X1.2.15 is an interim baselevel update, with limited testing.
I don't know of anyone who has tried X1.2.15 with VMS 5.5 and Motif.

	X1.2.15 works just fine with VMS 5.5, don't know about Motif.
