Hi,
OpenVMS AXP V6.1, Polycenter Console Manager V1.6 + ECO kit.
A customer reported this problem :
Yesterday around 4 PM no more messages(events) were
notified. The Console Notify process stayed in LEF.
Today around 8 AM the notification started again
without any intervention by the customer. Below I have
included the mail received from the customer.
Questions:
1) Is this a known problem ?
2) Do I have to activate CONSOLE$DEBUG (ENS or TRUE) ?
What's the difference between TRUE and ALL ?
3) Do you have a procedure to troubleshoot a LEF process on an AXP ?
This would be nice for the customer to get as much information
as possible when it comes back.
Any help/feedback is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
Geert
PS This problem looks like the one reported in note 993 !

Hi,
Do I have to open an IPMT ?
Can someone give advise for the CONSOLE$DEBUG (TRUE versus ALL) ?
Rgds,
Geert

I'm trying Geert but theres only so much for me to go around.

Thats a new one!!

Since I suspect a communication problem here it would be nice to
set debug to ENS and IPC but this could consume some disk space
if theres event a moderate amount of event going on.
> What's the difference between TRUE and ALL ?\
LOTS!! TRUE really only gets us a logfile. If you turn on ALL, there
will be some much debugging code turned on causing so many messages to
be logged that the product is practically unuseable in my opinion.
> 3) Do you have a procedure to troubleshoot a LEF process on an
>AXP?
It's not much different than VAX. What you need to do is use SDA to see
what the process was doing. Once you've set your process context
to the process in question via SDA do a SHOW PROC/CHANNEL and
do a SHOW CALL followed by a couple SHOW CALL/NEXT commands.
Regs,
Dan
This would be nice for the customer to get as much
information

Hallo, is there any news on the reported problem? I experienced the same problem: process Console Notify was in state 'LEF' - no events came through. After approx. 30 Minutes the process went back to state HIB and the messages got displayed. environment: VAX/VMS V6.1 / PCM V1.6-111 / OSCint V2.1 Regards, - Sabine | |||||

Sabine,
This problem is related to several inter-process communication
problems that I fixed just last week. The images may be found at
CSC32::DUMPS:[BUTTERWORTH.PCM]CSC_116.BCK
This is not a kit but rather a saveset with the images in it. To
restore it, use these commands:
BACK/LOG CSC_116.BCK/SAVE/SEL=(CONSOLE$BROAD*.EXE,CONSOLE$EVENT*.EXE) -
CONSOLE$ROOT:[ACTIONS.SYSTEM]/NEW
BACK/LOG CSC_116.BCK/SAVE/EXCL=(CONSOLE$BROAD*.EXE,CONSOLE$EVENT*.EXE)-
CONSOLE$IMAGE:/NEW
Once restored, restart PCM.
Regards,
Dan

Re. .5, is this VAX or AXP. Is this patch in 111_SMG ?
Thanks,
Peter.
