1522.0. "Console controller access violation" by LEMAN::NEUWEILER () Thu Apr 17 1997 08:29

My customer experienced a crash of the Console control process.

He has the following questions:
 - Why did he get an Opcom message indicating success?

 - What is the meaning of the following entry in the logfile?
    "CMHostControlErrorCB: code = -196, error_code = 0"

 - Is ECO4 an official ECO, if yes, why is it not available in TIMA?

He would also like to have time stamps next to each entry in the
logfile.

Is this type of crash fixed by ECO4?

Thanks for your help,

    Clearly the code didn't do the right thing.

    This can happen when the controller reads from a socket and the write
    has gone away. You can induce this message when you use the Motif
    Window Manager menu's and Close a DECTerm that had CONNECT/MONITOR
    running in it.

> - Is ECO4 an official ECO, if yes, why is it not available in TIMA?
    
    Yes, it is. It's not in TIMA becuase CA now owns the product and TIMA
    is for Digital product ECO's.

>He would also like to have time stamps next to each entry in the
>logfile.
    
    The code doesn't flush include time-stamps but this has been suggested
    as an enhancement.

    There is a very good chance. Your going to need to put it on anyway
    as we don't escalate against ECO 2 (V1.6-201) anymore. There are
    several lin controller crashes fixed since ECO 2.
