124.0. " problem with INSWAP in V5.0 ?" by UTRTSC::DOCTER (Dik Docter) Thu Jan 28 1993 10:16

A customer also wants to check swapped out processes for idle time. 
But the ZAP Monitor always ignores swapped out processes even if in the zap 
configuration file INSWAP=TRUE is specified. I have been able to reproduce this.
Is this a bug or are there any conflicting parameters set which causes this
behaviour?

ZAP$CONFIG.DAT
000 DEBUG       FALSE
001 ENABLE      TRUE 
002 GROUP_DW    TRUE 
003 HISTORY     TRUE 
004 IGNORE_SUSP FALSE
005 INSWAP      TRUE       <------- 
006 LENIENT     TRUE 
007 SEND        1,2  
008 SENSITIVITY 5

Hi,

	Sorry about the delay as I have just got back from a vacation.

	There is a bug that causes the INSWAP qualifier to be ignored and the
default falue (TRUE) to be used.

	This problem will be corrected in the next version (v5.1).

	Hi Keith,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you tell me when 5.1 will be available ?

If 5.1 is not available yet, I probably have to escalate this problem.

Regards.

Rob

ZAP V5.1 is not yet available.  I should know the approximate date on Feb 19th
and will post the submission notice here as soon as possible.

ZAP V5.1 should be submitted to Assets by March 5th.  I am just working out some
of the final documentation.
