2896.0. "Exporter backgroung process error" by ROM01::PROFETI (Livia EIS Rome) Thu Apr 30 1992 10:50

    BMS 1.2.7, VMS 5.4
    ------------------
    
    Two similar problems :
    
    1) I can't start the exporter background process anymore, here it is the
    	end of the .LOG file :
    
    $!
    $ install list sys$share:rdbshr.exe
    $ SVRT2 = $SEVERITY
    $!
    $ IF (SVRT1 .AND. SVRT2) THEN GOTO OKAY
    $ OKAY:
    $ WAIT 00:00:30
    $!
    $! end_of wait procedure
    $!
    $       BTS == "$SYS$SYSTEM:MCC_EXPORTER_FM_BG.EXE"
    $       BTS "MCC_EXPORT.RDB" ""
    %MCC-E-ALERT_TERMREQ, thread termination requested
      MCC_MANAGER  job terminated at 30-APR-1992 15:31:45.58
    
      Accounting information:
      Buffered I/O count:             193         Peak working set size:   3031
      Direct I/O count:               196         Peak page file size:     8586
      Page faults:                   2977         Mounted volumes:            0
      Charged CPU time:           0 00:00:04.72   Elapsed time:     000:01:33.20
    
    
    2) One time I've got a very similar error from the IMPM, these are the
    	errors from the terminal :
    
    %Internal error: terminate_thread: continued after termination
    %CMA-F-BUGCHECK, internal error detected in DECthreads
    %Internal error: thread_base: exception during thread termination
    %CMA-F-BUGCHECK, internal error detected in DECthreads
    %TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows
    module name     routine name                     line       rel PC   abs PC
    
                                                               00078AC5 00078AC5
                                                               00075494 00075494
                                                               00078B7C 00078B7C
    
    
    The first problem avoid me completely to use exporter.
    Thanks,
    Livia

2896.1	Now it works ...	ROM01::PROFETI	Livia EIS Rome	`Thu Apr 30 1992 11:52`	20
	Some minutes after I've added the previous note I've made a test : I've tried to use the old .RDB file, the BMS 2.1.4 one. And now all is working fine !! At first time I had problem with exporting historical data (see note 2870). Supposing they were related to the .RDB file I tried to create a new one, at that time the problem with the background process initiated. So some minutes ago I tried to export historical data again, but I got an error message related to the .RDB file (like "invalid data record format"), sorry not to be more explicit but I can't reproduce it. At that time I tried to use the old .RDB file and now everything is working : background process, historical and current data export requests. I suppose the creating .RDB file feature doesn't work fine, anyway at the beginning I had problem to use the old .RDB file as well. What do you think about ? /livia
2896.2	me too...	ICS::WOODCOCK		`Thu Apr 30 1992 11:54`	19
	Hello, I have what looks to be the same problem. The job seemed to stay alive until I issued an EXPORT command. Then: $! $ BTS == "$SYS$SYSTEM:MCC_EXPORTER_FM_BG.EXE" $ BTS "SYS$LOGIN:MCC_EXPORT.RDB" Monitor: 0 Monitor: 1 %MCC-E-ALERT_TERMREQ, thread termination requested DECMCC job terminated at 6-APR-1992 16:56:04.39 Export is currently unusable. Any suggestions? thanks, brad...
2896.3	did you try a NEW Rdb file name?	TOOK::SHMUYLOVICH		`Thu Apr 30 1992 18:40`	40
	Re: .1 & .2 The message "%MCC-E-ALERT_TERMREQ, thread termination requested" has been discussed a number of times. This tells that the Exporter can not create Rdb file or can not write information onto the Rdb table. I think that you have the following situation: 1. You try to use an Rdb file with name MCC_EXPORT.RDB and it does not work. 2. When you use another file name everything looks OK. I do not think this is because you are using Rdb file created in 1.2.4. Could you, please, try a new file name which has NEVER been used before? If I'm right it will work. MCC_EXPORT.RDB is a default for data base file name and it's possible that this file has been used sometime ago BEFORE the data dictionary is changed. The Exporter is sensitive to the new attributes and to the changes in the attribute data type. The general rule reads that you can not use the same Rdb file after updating this information in the data dictionary. So please, try a new data base file name or delete MCC_EXPORT.* files. Re: .2 Brad, According to your background log you are using an old version of the Exporter background process. Let me know if my recommendation does not work. Sam
2896.4	old rdb	ICS::WOODCOCK		`Thu Apr 30 1992 19:11`	12
	> According to your background log you are using an old version of the > Exporter background process. Hi Sam, I think I showed you the wrong log. In any event the problem was as you suspected. The Rdb was created with x1.2.15. Apologies for note redundancy. best regards, brad...
2896.5	you were right	ROM01::PROFETI	Livia EIS Rome	`Mon May 04 1992 09:05`	8
	Sam, you were right, I attempted to create a new .RDB file, but I used the old name MCC_EXPORT.RDB. Now I've created a new .RDB file with a different name and everything is ok. Many thanks, Livia
