946.1CSC32::BUTTERWORTHGun Control is a steady hand.Mon Aug 28 1995 12:309
    The archiver must send as message to the line controller for the node
    your archiving to make sure thatr no one is connected and the archive
    can proceed. The line controller is not responding to this message.
    This indicates that it's not reading it's control mailbox.  We'd have
    to access the system when it's broke to see whats going on. The best
    you can do is restart PCM.

    hi Dan,
    


The customer told me there are no open lines at the moment of running
the archive procedure. 

But we have some extra information at this moment.

We only get this problem when we use the command

$ console archive /before= <date>   and the date is less than 6 dags ago

If we archive only files older than 6 days it seems to work OK.



Piet.
