3810.0. "CRASH!!! disabling notifications at startup time" by BLGEUS::ROSSIGIU () Mon Sep 28 1992 05:54

    Hello,
    
      The context is: VMS 5.5, MCC 1.2, microVax 3100/80 40 MB memory.
    
    The problem is:
    
    	Enabling notification at startup time with a .com file
    	that loads all notifications all works very well.
    
    	Disabling the feature that enables notification window at
    	startup time, next session off MCC crash down during
    	its startup.
    	All interactions above with MCC are made with iconic map.
    
    	I see that the resource file MCC_NOTIFICATIONS_RESOURCE.DAT
    	contains the .Wopen parameter that specifies if notification
    	window is enabled at startup time (1) or not (0).
    
    	To avoid crash of MCC it is necessary to delete all lines after
    	.Wopen parameter if this parameter is 0.
    
    	This workaround is now sufficient. 
    
    	Is this a known problem ?  If yes, are there other better
    	workaround ?
    
    Thanks in advance.

please post (or mail) the mcc_notification_resource.dat file
that is (was) causing the problem.

thanks.

Hi,
    sorry for the delay but I was out for a long period.
    Anyway here is the resource file as prepared from mcc
    after an iconic map session about notification service.
    
    It works properly, but, if we tell MCC (iconic map) that
    we don't need the notification service at MCC startup time,
    MCC changes the parameter mcc_ns.Wopen to 0.
    At next MCC startup (MANAGE/ENTERPRISE/INTERFACE=DEWINDOWS) we
    have a crash.
    
    The only way to work is deleting all lines in resource file 
    after the parameter above.

3810.3hmmm....MCC1::DITMARSPeteWed Oct 28 1992 14:0711
no, this isn't a known problem

do you need to delete all lines after Wopen, or is it sufficient
to just delete the 

mcc_ns.reqStartupFile:	mcc$com:not_req.com

line?

when you start up with Wopen = 1, do you get any window with
messages, etc., as the notify requests start up?
3810.4Now it works...BLG03::ROSSIFri Nov 20 1992 10:5716
    Thank You Very Much !!!!
    
    deleting the line containing the startup file with .wopen = 0 
    we don't have the crash.
    
    No extra window or extra message in the other case. 
    
    
    Bye
    
    
    Thank again
