5121.0. "Problem with " AT START " qualifier" by INNA::BRAGINSKY () Thu May 27 1993 11:50

    
    I'm having a problem with the " AT START " qualifier. The problem
    occurs only on the show all attributes command with the entity wildcarded. 
    Their are no problems if the entity name is specified or if the command 
    is to show a particular attribute or partition. The error message I get is
    "%MCC-W-TIME_ALREADY_PA, scheduled time has already passed".
    I thought that "at start" specifies when to execute the directive, but
    it looks like there is some kind of a timer ??
    
    Here is an example of the mcc command :
    
    
    mcc> show tpsystem tpsysname REQUEST QUEUE -
                            ELEMENT * all attribute, at start=+00:00:05
    
    TPSYSTEM "/.:/que_lin_vms_cd8p_kit_que_mgt/que_mgtlin8pmicr" request
    queue ELEM
    AT 12-MAY-1993 10:09:38 All Attributes
    
           element id = 90
    activation status = invocation_retry
          retry count = 2
    %MCC-W-TIME_ALREADY_PA, scheduled time has already passed
    
    
    
    I tried increasing the time to 20 seconds, but that did not make any
    difference. Also, I don't get this message every time I run the command, 
    but eight out of ten runs usually fail.
    
    Can someone explain why I'm having this problem ?
    
    Thanks,

    Can you tell how many of the partitions have come back?  Is it a
    somewhat random number, related to the length of the start interval?
    
    It sounds like FCL has a bug where it's passing the AT START for each
    partition when it should only pass it for the first one.

    Independently of the the time set, the identifiers partition is always
    returned and then one or more attributes from the counter partition
    are returned.
