3607.0. "pb with custmizing the notif services environment" by TAV02::KALAI () Sun Aug 23 1992 08:56

Shalom,
I have a problem to customize the notification services environment for
automatic startup .
What bother me is that I am pretty sure I have done it during the curse of 
decmcc 1.2 in PARIS,and that there is no mention on similar problem 
in the notes file.

I have VMS 5.5
	DECMCC 1.2
  	4000/60
	56MB
and I'am using as written in the manual: selecting general notification,
notification logging and save current setting, a new file
mcc_notification_resource.dat is created but nothing happens when I
open the iconicmap.
I must do something stupid but I can't find what.
any idea what happens.

thanks
Yael Kalai

3607.1Select auto start and provid file nameHERON::PATEL_ALoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMFMon Aug 24 1992 06:3924
    If you want to do automatic startup of Notification Services ( IE get
    the Notification window up and enable a default set of notifications)
    Then you must...

    1) set up the notify requests you want the first time.

       Select all the notify requests you have set up, NOT THE ONE THAT 
       GETS SET UP BY DEFAULT (mcc does a notify request on the domain by
       default)

       Use the File option to save the notifications to a file say
    notif.com

    2) in the Main Notification window select "customize" select
    sub-option "general notification", -- select the startup options ie use
    current widow location etc, be sure to select the button marked Open
    Notification window on startup.  Then enter the file name to use for
    the startup (in our example) notif.com  HIT OK

    Then select "customize" again and save the settings

    then when you restart mcc Notification will startup automagicly :-)

3607.3I've seen this once...MCC1::DITMARSPeteFri Sep 11 1992 10:5922
One of our VMS V5.5 systems here silently refused to use the 
mcc_notification_resource.dat.  The mcc_resource.dat
file was used just fine.  For some unknown reason, the 
notification resource file is now being used just fine on
the same system.  I was never able to figure
out what was going on.

Here's one guess at a work-around:

Try defining DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS to be the following:

$ define DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS -
		SYS$LOGIN:, -
		SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$DEFAULTS.USER], -
		SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$DEFAULTS.SYSTEM], -
		SYS$LIBRARY:

This will cause your local mcc_notification_resource.dat to be
used twice (first as system, then as user).  Maybe it'll help,
maybe it won't.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

The workaround mention in 3.3 resolve my pb of notification startup.

3607.5YAG (yet another GOTCHA)CSOADM::ROTHYou like it, it likes you!Tue Dec 29 1992 16:226
This bugger nailed me when I upgraded to Motif V1.1 from V1.0 in preparation
of the install of DECmcc T1.3. The fix as outlined in 3607.3 did the trick.

I edited SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$STARTLIBS.COM and made the changes there.
