Conference csc32::consolemanager

1236.0. "console acces violations!!" by 24004::THOMPSON (Texan 'til I die) Tue Mar 12 1996 22:21

    I installed Console Manager on my Alphastation running OpenVMS 6.2. 
    All was going well for several hours.  I was using the C3 interface. 
    Suddenly, when I tried to start EDIT, the DECterm would appear and then
    disappear... in the DECterm that started the C3 interface, I had some
    messages about running out of virtual memory.  I decided to run autogen
    and increase virtualpagecnt, and then reboot.  After the reboot, the
    startup procedure would get an access violation.  I copied down the
    ECO and installed that and rebooted and I still get the same message..
    this is SO frustrating!  Everything was going so well!  I was actually
    making headway and finally connecting to the remote consoles via LAT. 
    I was at the point of trying to create some SCANS... and now this!  I'm
    trying to put together a demo for a new customer...  
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    the following is the console$startup procedure with verify turned on
    as captured by my laptop...

   I deleted most of the lines, except for the installs and the
    error message at the end...

    I decided to look around some more to see what changed, and I
    discovered that my latest console_cfg.dat file had a size of 0!  I
    delete that file and let it use the previous version which had a size
    of 15.  And everything worked!!!  The Console init worked in the
    startup procedure and I could invoke the application  - how could the
    config file get zapped?  More mysteries!  Now back to scan files!

    This is your answer. The editor got far enough such that the file
    didn't get closed properly when it bombed out. You also need to insure 
    that the account that you run the C3 from has sufficient PGFLQUO. I
    would grant the account the following quotas:
    
    PGFLQUO= 50,000
    BYTLM = 200000
    PRCLM = 20

    Thanks - I'll make sure the account gets modified!  I'm finnaly
    figuring out how this works!  Pretty nifty - with the alarms and all!
