5836.0. "problems with alarmrule exceptions" by COL01::STICHTERNATH () Fri Jan 21 1994 09:31

my alarmrules are runnning under the user mcc$alarms. since a few days 
i don't get any exception mail-messages. in the notification window 
the exceptioncondition is indicated normal. 
the alarm fired procedure works normal and i get the alarm-mail-message 
and the notification in the notificationwindow.
the exceptionprocedure in the alarmrule matched with with the 
existing file in the specified directory. it is the same file and the 
same version as before. there are also no access restrictions on this file. 
to be shure that there are no accessviolations i enabled security alarms.
in case of exception there is also no logfile created. so i assume that
there is no attemption to run the exceptionprocedure.
i checked systemquotas with mcc_audit, they are all ok.
then i enabled my rules under another user called mccmgr. in this case
alarms and excetionalarms are indicated as usual, with a mail and a 
notification in the notificatoin window. accountquotas of both users
are exactly the same.
the mcc version is 1.3
does anyone has an idea ???

Greetings,

One thing to check for which is an occasional 'gotcha' for us is that the VMS
file version FOR THE LOG FILE has reached its limit. It the version number of
the log file looks something like <EXCEPTION_COM>.LOG;32767 then the system 
will not run the job because it cannot create a log. If this is the case 
just delete all versions of the file and you'll start running again.

cheers,
brad...

    
    
    
    Hi brad,
    
    thanks for the exelent tip.
    Indeed my file version number reached this limit. I just deleted 
    the logfile and my exception procedure run as usual.
