12.1Define VTX$serverRDGE21::MORRISMon May 19 1986 14:166
    Beacuse the VTX$SERVER logical isnt set-up system wide.
    
    I cant remember the GVA server object number off-hand , but if you
    look at the logical on VULCAN and define it on RDGE28 VTX will work.

12.2VTX Startup procedureRDGE28::DRAPERSteve DraperTue May 20 1986 10:237
    There is a startup file in sys$manager. I think it's called
    
    			VTXSTARTUP.COM
    
    Why don't you incorporate that into systartup.com??

12.3VTX sort of working on U28RDGE28::TUNNICLIFFEWed Jul 09 1986 12:484
    I have VTX working as best I can on U28 now. If there are any experts
    around your help will be appreciated. All I have managed to do is
    set up a logical which point to Geneva, so at least you can all
    look at the Geneva Data.
12.4This is what you do...RDGE28::HAYESIan Hayes, ext. 4992Wed Jul 09 1986 15:1413
    Using VTX is very easy.
    
    To look directly at another database, simply defined the logical
    as follows:
    
    	DEFINE  VTX$SERVER  "GVAVTX::""243="""
    
    All those quotes (") *are* necessary. You can replace GVAVTX with
    any other node name which has a VTX database.
    
    Once you have defined your logical, simply run the VTX prog by
    entering:
    		MC VTXPAD

12.6Another frustrated VTX userRDGE00::DAVIDSONTue Apr 14 1987 17:229
    Iain,
    
    I guess it's something to do with the fact that the network on U28
    is currently dead. I now make a habit of connecting to RDGE00 instead
    of ADG but this would seem to defeat the purpose of having these
    beasties clustered! Try it and see!!

12.7VTX now working cluster-wideRDGE00::DRAPERSteve DraperThu Apr 16 1987 10:3315
    re 5. & .6
    
    The fact that VTX only worked on part of the cluster was due
    to a variety of reasons - partially the way in which it was started,
    and partially due to some of the network problems on RDGE28.
    These should now be solved, and VTX should work correctly from
    all parts of the cluster.
    
    N.B. Do *not* understand this to mean that all of U28's network
    problems have been solved: they haven't, but are currently being
    worked on. However, there is sufficient of the network working
    on U28 to satisfy the needs of VTX.

12.9VTX MisinformationCURRNT::EBDONTerry Ebdon, ADG Support 781 4381Tue Dec 20 1988 13:564
The VTX "Computer Information" page is at least a year out of date.
Is there any chance of amending, or at least deleting, this information?

12.10Ask, and you shall be given !FOOT::DAWVeni Vidi Vici, pugnaveruntTue Dec 20 1988 17:3129
    
    
    When the Text Retrieval Unit took over the A.D.G. VTX service after
    they ripped STOPIT from out hearts, Steve Draper was asked whether
    he wanted this option kept, his answer was obviously yes. This section
    of the infobase is therefore under Steve's juristiction, and as
    far as I know, there are no plans to update it.
    
    As far as being out of date, the infobase pages date from at least
    May 1987, so most are more than a year out of date.
    
    If anyone has any suggestions for this section, perhaps they could
    enter them here.
    
    Some of the functionality of these pages, will be taken over when
    INSECT V1.0, or V2.0 is released. This is location specific
    information, and covers such data as an employee directory, group
    information, organisation charts, and policies/procedures information.
    
    Version 2.0 of Insect may cover such things as system configuration,
    hardware on order, conference/meeting room bookings etc..
    
    Another system which will exist is the Library System V1.0 which
    will detail all Manuals etc.. in the ADG library.
    
    Hope to have been of some help,
    
    Rob
