| I would not edit decw$startapps.com cos it will most probably be superceded
when you upgrade. define the decw$book logical somewhere else.
Any chance of making them world readable?

Would it be possible to have a list of all the directories, DFS'ed or
otherwise, CD or alternative etc. where world-readable on-line
documentation can be found ?

| 303.3 | More? | NECK::THOMPSON | Jerry Thompson (7)781-4421 | Fri Dec 22 1989 09:39 | 6 |
| I know of no other public directories available to us, but there are
plans to get another CD reader installed on one of our MVAXes so that we can
all play 2 tunes at once!
The idea is that we'll get updated VMS documentation and VMS Layered
product CD's every 3-6 months and keep the copy of each type on line.

My default(?) DECW$BOOK log looks like this -
Tue CATPAW -> sh log decw$book
"DECW$BOOK" = "SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK]" (DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES)
= "DISK$BWKS:[DECW$BOOK]"
= "DISK$BOOKLIB:[000000]"
I get this :-
Error opening disk$booklib:[000000]library.decw$bookshelf
no such device available.
Can someone supply me with the setup to be able to read them ?
(I humbley have to say I deleted the command file somewhere along
the line that set the logicals up !!)
Thanks in advance.
Tom.

| 303.5 | There's no problem on your VS.. | CURRNT::RUSSELL | I should have got a Duracell!! | Wed Feb 28 1990 13:01 | 17 |
| Tom, there's nothing wrong with the logical.
The problem is with DFS or DNS on one of the clusters. The reboot
the other night should have fixed it; but obviously not...
There was a DNS re-shuffle due about now, but Jerry has come down
with flu, and I dunno the current status.
In the meantime, remove the DISK$BOOKLIB from the logical by
doing something similar to
$ define/sys decw$book sys$common:[decw$book], disk$bwks:[decw$book]
This will give you the local SWEEP books, and the on-line CD.
call me on x 4417 if this doesn't work, or you haven't got the privs.

| 303.6 | Temp fix applied. but DNS still flaky. | HEWIE::RUSSELL | I should have got a Duracell!! | Thu Mar 01 1990 12:30 | 18 |
| I've reassigned the DECW$BOOK logical for all members of the SOOTY and
SWEEP clusters, but we still have a DNS problem in the building.
If you do a SHOW DEV D, you will be able to see which devices are being
served on your system via DFS. If BWKS is shown, you'll be able to
read the on-line CD.
If it isn't shown, then you're stuck.
If you re-boot ypur VS, it's possible you'll get a different DNS server,
and so be able to see it. It's also possible that you wont.
If you need to read the CD, ask someone else near you if you can do it
on there in the meantime.
The DNS problem is being escalated.
Peter.

does this apply to STANDARDS as well ?
|
| 303.8 | Flaky :== not constant! | CURRNT::RUSSELL | I should have got a Duracell!! | Thu Mar 01 1990 18:09 | 9 |
| It applies to all the DNS services..
if you're lucky, you'll get access to it, otherwise you won't...
There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it; if there was, it would
help in fixing it!!

| Oh, and don't worry about the DNS problem any more,
we found an easier solution...

just a bit drastic wasn't it, Peter ?
|
| 303.11 | | CURRNT::OTTEN | Reality.. Wossat?? | Thu Mar 15 1990 15:05 | 1 |
| Definitely OTT..
|
| 303.12 | | CRATE::RUSSELL | I should have got a Duracell!! | Thu Mar 15 1990 22:07 | 6 |
| Huh!!
Some users are never satisfied, even with radical solutions.
