741.0. "EXTRACT ACVIO's again..." by UTRTSC::DORLAND (There's always one more bug!) Wed May 17 1995 20:06

    Hi,
    
    some time I reported ACCVIO with CONSOLE EXTRAT (note 644, 
    IPMT case UTO100488). It is still a problem with PCM 1.6 FT3.
    
    The customer send me two small sets of logfiles with which I
    can easily reproduce it. If you do CONSOLE EXTRACT all goes well,
    but using something like /SINCE=TODAY results in an ACCVIO,
    see below.
    
    It happens whenever the logfiles are archived, or when you start
    from scratch with empty logfiles. After some time, when the
    logfile hasd been filled up with information the problem occurs
    less and finally goes. 
    
    The logfiles are available at UTRTSC::DUMPS:[DORLAND]
    
    Can this be fixed in the final version ?
    
    Thanks in advance, 
    
    Ton
    
	Example :
    
    $ CONSOLE EXTRAT VAX7/SINCE=TODAY

Ton,
     I shall pull the files today and have a look at them today or
tomorrow. I certainly want this one nailed down.

Cheers Simon...
741.2Looks oke...UTRTSC::DORLANDThere's always one more bug!Thu May 18 1995 15:598
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    
    This image looks good, I can't reproduce the ACCVIO's
    anymore. I've just send them to the customer, I hope
    to report back to you by tomorrow.
    
    
    Regards, Ton
741.3UTRTSC::DORLANDThere's always one more bug!Fri May 19 1995 15:465
    Well the customer had no time to test it today.
    Next week I am on holiday. But I think we can assume
    that it works correctly (I did some testing today).
    
    Regards, Ton
741.4Problem fixed!UTRTSC::DORLANDThere's always one more bug!Fri Jun 02 1995 15:105
    The customer confirmed that the problem is fixed.
    I'll make a closure statement for UTO100488.
    Thanks, again,
    
    Ton
741.5is a fix available?KERNEL::HAWLEYIIt looks like a haggis with a head!Tue Jun 06 1995 10:3946
    
    If there is a fix for this, is it freely available?
    Is it fixed in a new version? 
    
    I have a customer running 1.5A of PCM who is experiencing a similar
    but not identical problem...
    
    The problem that they have is that when they issue the EXTRACT /EVENT
    command for certain connected systems we get the following stack dump.
    
    13 out of the 16 connected systems work ok. 3 fail.
    
    Has anyone heard of an EXTRACT/EVENT causing similar problems in the
    past?
    
    Here is the stack dump:

The FT kits for V1.6 are available on the net see note 2.LAST.
741.7customer is NOT happyKERNEL::HAWLEYIIt looks like a haggis with a head!Wed Jun 07 1995 16:078
    
    Thanks Simon,
    
    The problem is that my customer requires a fix for this problem.
    This is a live system so they cant run field tests and they are
    beginning to go ballistic. Do I have to IPMT this?
    
    Ian.
741.8IP$16.36.32.41::PHILIPAnd through the square window...Wed Jun 07 1995 16:2812
Ian,

  You can IPMT this, however, V1.6 is so close to release now and
  there were a lot of changes to fix accvios for V1.6 the work
  will probably not be retrofitted and the reply to the IPMT case
  will be to upgrade to V1.6.

  There really is no reason not to upgrade as the FT of V1.6 is
  far more stable than V1.5 ever was even with the MUP.

Cheers,
Phil
741.9pesky customers!KERNEL::HAWLEYIIt looks like a haggis with a head!Wed Jun 07 1995 16:5110
    
    Thanks for your reply Phil,
    
    Ive spoken to the customer and he still wants me to IPMT it (most
    customers do, given the choice!) so thats what i'll do.
    Can you give me a ball-park figure for when 1.6 will be shipped?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ian.
741.10ZEDAR::simonSimon Jackson 830 x3879Wed Jun 07 1995 17:316
Ian,
    SSB will pull the kits into the corporate software library Monday 
19th June and then it is frozen. It will then appear on CONDIST at 
the next release for each platform.

Cheers Simon...
