2190.0. "MCCELM010 ACCVIO problem" by ARRODS::GILLJ (John, DTN 847-5849) Fri Jan 24 1992 10:53

    
    I have been implementing DECmcc-BMS, TCP-IP AM and ELMS AM for a
    customer.  All installations have progressed fine with the exception of
    the ELMS-AM.
    
    I have selected the option to update the dictionary, build the parse
    table and update the help files.  Everything progresses fine until the
    table build.  I get the following...
    
    Processing entity 1
    Processing entity 1 1
              .
              .
              .
    Processing entity 330
    SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=04, 
    virtual address=00000008, PC=001FDDF2, PSL=03C00000
    
    NONAME-F-NOMSG, message number 032BD0A2
    
    SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, 
    virtual address=0000000A, PC=0000000A, PSL=0000000F
    
    
    When investigating the problem I noticed that the license I was using
    was for ELMS and that the system did not have the DECMCC-ELM-AM-V or
    DECMCC-ELM-FM-V licenses installed.  
    
    We plan to get hold of the correct licenses and install them.  
    
    Is my problem directly related to the licensing or are there other
    things I need to look into.
    
    Any help appreciated,
    
    John

2190.1	Are you running V1.1?	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development	`Fri Jan 24 1992 11:38`	3
	A license problem should not result in a Access violation. Is this BMS V1.1 you are using?
2190.2	Yes	ARRODS::GILLJ	John, DTN 847-5849	`Tue Jan 28 1992 05:04`	4
	Yes, I am using BMS V1.1.
2190.3	questions	TOOK::CALLANDER	MCC = My Constant Companion	`Tue Jan 28 1992 09:47`	11
	do you have ptb running while some one is trying to run DECmcc at the same time? did you happen to take a look at your free memory (sho mem) before it crashed? How long had ptb been running before it crashed? had it slowed down before crashing?
2190.4	More Information	ARRODS::GILLJ	John, DTN 847-5849	`Tue Jan 28 1992 11:27`	42
	>> do you have ptb running while some one is trying to run DECmcc >> at the same time? DECmcc was running during the early part of the installation, but was not running while the ptb was in operation. >> did you happen to take a look at your free memory (sho mem) before >> it crashed? Unfortunately no, I ran the ptb overnight. >> How long had ptb been running before it crashed? had it slowed >> down before crashing? I cannot say for certain, but it had got as far as processing entity 330 so I assume it must have almost complete. As I said I ran the ptb overnight. When I returned there was a message saying that the page file had become badly fragmented during the installation. I have upgraded the licence, increased the size of my pagefile and am running the installation again. The machine that I am installing the product on has only 8MB memory, there will be an upgrade to the memory but in order to complete an acceptance test for the network I need to install DECmcc-ELM-AM on this machine. Before installing the ELMS AM I installed the TCP-IP AM - the ptb operation for this AM went smoothly. No pagefile fragmentation problems and no access violation problems. I will report any progress with the installation I am currently attempting. If anyone has further thoughts please feel free... Thanks, John
2190.5	copy the .bpt if you have to from someone else	TOOK::CALLANDER	MCC = My Constant Companion	`Fri Jan 31 1992 09:08`	5
	if there is some one locally with the same set of AMS and version just copy their ptb if you can't get it to work.8MB is definitly not enough to successfully run mcc.
2190.6	Check process and system quotas	TOOK::R_SPENCE	Nets don't fail me now...	`Mon Feb 03 1992 10:21`	12
	How big is your pagefile? How big are the working sets for the process you are installing from? I assume you read the release notes for sysgen and process quota requirements before installing? You might want to copy NETS::USER$NETS:[mcc011.s-kit]AUDIT_MCC.COM and run it. You may find that some quotas or parameters are too low. s/rob
