9.0. "HELP! - ONLINE VOILA doesn't work" by FORTY2::STEARMAN () Mon Sep 26 1988 13:09

    I hope someone can help.
    
    I'm trying to process .SDML files using the ONLINE doctype and VOILA
    destination, but it doesn't work. I'm running out of ideas. The
    error message I receive is "Unrecognized destination".
    
    Before I attempted to use ONLINE VOILA, I did the following things:
    
    - Had DECwindows FT2 and the Bookreader BL9 installed on the VAXcluster
    - Had SDC and internal DOCUMENT V1.1 installed on the VAXcluster
    - Had the saveset VAXUUM::KITS_:[DOCUMENT.V11]CUPVOILA.SAV restored
      on the VAXcluster
    - Had RAGS, MOPS, UTOX and VOYER installed on the VAXcluster 
    
    Have I forgotten anything? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
        
    Thanks,
    Sue.

9.1	You are not alone	OROGEN::BODGE	Andy Bodge	`Mon Sep 26 1988 18:39`	14
	TLE has been trying to solve this problem for weeks, without success. They do everything imaginable; the destination still isn't recognized. If they ever solve it and can figure out why, I'll post the fix. One problem we ran into on our cluster did not manifest itself as "unrecognized destination." Instead, there was some sort of "font not found" message well along in the process. The problem was that DOCUMENT V1.1 puts its startup file in sys$startup instead of sys$manager, but we were still executing the old one in sys$manager. Once we found this, the process worked fine. Good hunting. Andy
9.2	the real SDC V1.1 is required	STAR::KRAETSCH	NeXt Window Please	`Tue Sep 27 1988 19:13`	28
	I'm not sure if I can help, but I'll try First of all, you don't need DECwindows, RAGS, MOPS, UTOX, or VOYER installed to use the online doctype. You do need the SDC version of DOCUMENT V1.1. This must be the REAL SDC version, not the V1.1 that was pre-released internally a couple weeks earlier or a field test version. I don't remember why, but it has to be the latest. Then you need to install the internal kit. Finally, you need to backup the CUP$VOILA saveset. Make sure you specify /NEW_VERSION on the BACKUP command. After you have done these 3 steps, you should be able to find the VOILA doctype in DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT (I forget which one, local or standard). You should also be to do directory listings of DOC$VOILA_TOOLS: and DOC$VOILA_FONTS: If these fail, retrace your installation steps. The other thing to check is that you are not running an old setup file (as mentioned in .1) or calling an old setup file from your login.com. I hope this helps. joe
9.3	How can we tell?	LISP::CARRASCO	Perfection is not success	`Wed Sep 28 1988 14:18`	6
	Is there any way to find out which version of DOCUMENT v1.1 is installed? The welcome message says 1.1 but can that be SDC 1.1 or pre-SDC 1.1? Pilar.
9.4		MTWAIN::FRIEDMAN		`Fri Sep 30 1988 15:59`	10
	If the following is your welcome message, then you are very likely running V1.1 instead of FT1.1, because the CUP/ML kit was released with instructions only for installing on V1.1. I think you can check the version in your .LOG file or on the screen when you run DOCUMENT--the version should come up right after you enter the DOCUMENT command. Running DOCUMENT V1.1, with CUP/ML local kit V1.1. Type SDMLINFO for details.
