290.0. "More problems with V1.2B and online bookreader" by KITSAI::BANSAL () Tue Mar 06 1990 14:07

    I have installed V1.2-B of document.  I made the changes to
    doc$designs.dat and docdestinations.dat in doc$local_formats directory.
    
    When I give the document command:
    
    document/contents/nokeep file.sdml online.reference bookreader, I get
    the following error:
    
    DOC-I-IDENT, VAX Document V1.2-B    25-JAN-1990 11:47:33.75

    -TEX-I-FILENAME, 'DOC$ROOT:[TEX.FORMATS]SDMLVOILA.FMT_MACRO;'
    %DOC-E-ERROR_FORMATTER, Errors found by the text formatter
    
    
    I searched through the doc$root:[tex.formats] directory and 
    there is no SDMLVOILA.FMT_MACRO.  There is a SDMLBOOKR.FMT_MACRO
    though.  What should I do?
    
    I have already looked through note 2737.* in the closet::document notes
    file.
    
    Thanks

	In all other cases, this problem appears to have been caused by not completely cleaning up the .DAT files (see also note 277.* in this conference). Double check that all the changes have been indeed been made, check doc_v12b_internal_notes for a more complete list of the changes that need to be made. Do you have doc$personal_formats defined? If so, check the .DAT files there for old definitions for the online doctype. If these measures fail, let me know. Mary
290.2	same problem - not sure its our fault	CDROM::DUPREZ		`Tue Apr 17 1990 16:27`	26
	Mary, I'm having this exact same problem as well. I have gone through DOC$DESIGNS.DAT and DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT in DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS and gotten rid of those lines suggested by the notes. The book still won't build. I have noticed something, and I'm not sure that it's a problem with the kit or a problem with the way it was installed. In DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT, the latest version (in fact, all versions) refer to SDMLVOILA and not SDMLBOOKR. My guess is that this might be the problem. I examined the contents of the kit in CLOSET::KITS_:[DOCUMENT. V12B.SOFTWARE] (most specifically savesets .B through .E) and could not find a DOC$DESTINATIONS file of any kind. I believe the notes say that SDMLVOILA.FMT_MACRO is one of the files deleted by the installation. If that occurs, and no new DOC$DESTINATIONS file is moved over, you'd have old destinations files pointing to SDMLVOILA, when what the build really needs is a pointer to SDMLBOOKR. Any ideas or comments? Roland

	<<< W7_:[NOTES$LIBRARY]DOCUMENT.NOTE;2 >>> -< VAX DOCUMENT problems and questions >- ================================================================================ Note 2737.29 V1.2-B Installation (DOCWTK010) 29 of 49 PSTWKS::THOMAS "In development..." 33 lines 1-MAR-1990 13:14 -< Do not edit DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT >- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ref: reply 27 (reply 12) Mike, you have anlayzed the installation procedure quite well, however, there is one major difference. A VAX DOCUMENT installation at a site which had a previous installation will ask the installer the question, "Do you want to retain existinig destinations?". If you answer "yes" to this question then the file DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT in DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS is retained, not the one in DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS. I presume you have taken the necessary steps to delete the definition of obsolete Bookreader logicals, destination defs and design defs from your DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS area. If so, then read on... The reason you are seeing this error is most probably because at some point you manually edited the DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT file in DOC$STANDARD_FROMATS and added the definition for the BOOKREADER destination. The destination dat file clearly states at the top "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". This was not an accident. Any new installation of DOCUMENT will modify or replace the old destinations dat file. We clearly intend that you do not edit the file manually. It is a similar incorrect action that caused the error report in reply 12 too. The way in which you can fix this error is to get the right def for the Bookreader destination and then place that in your file: DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT while making sure that the old def is deleted from DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS and DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS. Hope this helps. - Philip
290.4	Sort of...	CDROM::DUPREZ		`Tue Apr 17 1990 17:24`	22
	Wayne, Sort of... I think what I want to know is where to get the vanilla-flavored DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT and DOC$DESIGNS.DAT files for placement in DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS. I cleared DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS:DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT out ENTIRELY, leaving nothing but an empty file. I still have the problem, mainly because I think we DO have an incorrect DOC$DESTINATIONS file in DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS. What I would like to do is get a proper version of the file and put it in DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS to see if it works. But I didn't see any in the kit. Could you point me to one? All versions of ours point to SDMLVOILA instead of SDMLBOOKR.FMT_MACRO, and I know that is incorrect. Roland
