We run a nightly batch job on our PCM system to archive the console data.
Under PCM V1.5 (VAX) this worked correctly.
Last week we upgraded to PCM V1.6 (VAX). Since then many archive operations
fail. However running some of these failed commands individually by hand
works
ok.
Here is the line of code conatined in the command file :
$ console archive/noconfirm/keep=480 all
Below is a log file extract showing the problem:
$ console archive/noconfirm/keep=480 all

VMS IS AT VAX/VMS V6.1
ECO1 was installed. Since then
a) Event windows have re-appeared on remote m/ch's (I had not noticed that
they where missing??)
b) The archieve process hangs in an LEF state for eternity.
Any suggestions??

is it possible for us to access the SYSTEM when the archive is hung?
The ECO fixed a problem where the daemons would hang when an archive
was done but this sounds like a different problem.
As far as your file access conflicts go... was there a backup running
at the same time? That error indicates that something had the files
locked at the time. V1.6 will not perform an archive if someone is
connected and the problem where the controller daemon didn't close the
file was also fixed. This leaves some other extraneous source like
BACKUP.

Access,
No problem.. I will mail you contact details....
Backups running, None have ever been run during the archieve period. It
may be posible that someone was connected. Concern from site thou' is
that assuming somebody was connected, then why does archieve now fall
over stone dead, under v1.5 it would only fail the one event then carry
on as before?

Re -2.
Something had the files locked. Archive was changed dramatically in
V1.6 as there were to many problems in the old V1.5 code stream. If
someone was connected, you would have gotten a message to the effect
Archive aborted - user xxxxxxx is connected
and it would have attempted to archive the next system.
Is there a disk defragger running on this system?

Dan
Certainly in my case there is NOT a defrag process running.

I can reproduce this problem by reducing my BYTLM quota. All the quota is given back at the end of the archive run but the amount used increases each time a new node is archived. Geoff Judd. | |||||

| 906.8 | now it works... | 50242::MUELLER | Wed Aug 16 1995 11:14 | 7 | |
I just raised the bytlm quota and the archive works fine.
Thanks a lot!
