479.0. "window problem after migration to 6.1" by MLCADG::FERRARIF () Wed Nov 06 1991 11:53

    
    Hi, 
    	
    I have an application running under FOCUS 5.2.3 with no problems,
    and now I'm testing it under v6.1. 
    Sometimes (not alwais) I get the error
    
    >>>>>WINDOW FILE NOT FOUND: filename
    
    The sintax I use to start The window file is
    
    -WINDOW filename windowname
    
    Any idea on where I'm going wrong?
    Thanx in advace
    Fabio.

479.1	more info on window problem	MLCADG::FERRARIF	`Thu Nov 07 1991 06:22`	17
	Hi, I have found that the error is occuring when the application is already running on another session. If a User is connected, the second user will obtain the error. Is Focus locking the window file while using it? If yes, how can I use the same window file for more then one user? Any help will be appreciate. thanx Fabio.
479.2	Protection Bug !	RDGE60::KEEGANP	`Fri Nov 08 1991 04:22`	17
	Hi Fabio, I myself have not encountered this problem, but I have just spoken to an ex-colleague who has. The problem is a known bug under v6.1.0, but should be fixed under 6.1.1. In the meantime, I am told that the 'fix' is to set the protection of the Window file (.fmv) to... World=Read/Execute, Group=Read/Execute, System=ALL, Owner=Delete Also, if you need to amend the Window file, 'pull' it into your own area, change it, replace it & reset the protection. Hope this does the trick, Paul K
479.3	still on error	MLCADG::FERRARIF	`Fri Nov 08 1991 05:51`	11
	Hi Paul, thanx for your reply. I tryed to set file protection as you seggested, but I'm afraid to say it doesn't work. The error is still occuring when opening the second session. Any other ideas? Thanx Fabio.
479.4	Sorry - more news Monday ?	RDGE60::KEEGANP	`Fri Nov 08 1991 09:11`	12
	Fabio, I'm sorry but I cannot contact my ex-colleague now until next week, but I have checked my notes from the conversation I had with him this morning and the solution I gave you is as he suggested. I will try to talk to him again on Monday Sorry again, Paul K
479.5	Final step: RESET protection	RDGE60::KEEGANP	`Mon Nov 11 1991 05:45`	11
	Fabio, I have just repeated the suggested solution on my own account and IT DOES WORK !. Having contacted my friend again, he emphasises that you MUST ensure Owner=DELETE. I found that having a default protection on my account reset the .FMV file's protection when copying back. So, make sure that after copying the .FMV file back to the relevant (library) directory, you set the protection accordingly. Let me know what happens... Regards, Paul K
479.6	more info...	MLCADG::FERRARIF	`Tue Nov 12 1991 11:03`	20
	Hi Paul, Your solution is working fine if I run the window file interactively from FOCUS prompt (> ), but not when I use the procedure. The protection for the file is as follows: (My account has SPORT_ADM identif.) SPORT.FMV;1 39/39 1-FEB-1991 11:58:35.07 SPORT_ADM (RWED,D,RE,RE) (IDENTIFIER=SPORT_ADM,ACCESS=READ+WRITE+EXECUTE+DELETE+CONTROL) (IDENTIFIER=SPORT_USR,ACCESS=READ+WRITE+EXECUTE) (IDENTIFIER=[,],ACCESS=NONE) (DEFAULT_PROTECTION,SYSTEM:RWED,OWNER:RWED,GROUP:,WORLD:) Thanx again for your help and Best regards Fabio.
