3299.0. "Excursion fails with Dr.Watson over DECnet on NT4..0" by DECPRG::VODICKA () Sun Jun 01 1997 05:05
Hello team,
Our customer has serious problem after installing PW32 7.0 and
Excursion 3.0.554 on Intels WNT4.0 Workstation. He uses Netbeui and DECnet
protocol and connects host node OpenVMS v 6.1, DECnet/OSI v6.3 ECO5.
When he tries to run Session Manager (DECW$SESSION), wxserver.exe
fails with Dr.Watson error:
Exception: access violation (0xc0000005),Adress: 0x779f85ed
The same error he gets, when he sets Enable Access Control and
defines correct DECnet Node Name. Then he can't start wxserver.exe with same Dr.Watson
error.
Last in Excursion log after failure is:
29.10.1997 10:08:49 Network Warning dnet_addr(praha) failed,
error=997
and same with error=1813
(it looks similar as 3298.0)
I have installed similar configuration on 2 PCs in our office with
same result (DECPC486,40RAM,DE205 and Venturis FX166,40RAM,DE435).
In WinNT Event Log appears two messages (in Aplication Log) after
wxserver crash:
source category Event Detail
(fatal error) Perflib None 1008 The Open
Procedure

Status code
returned is
DWORD 0.
followed by
(information) DrWatson None 4097 The

error ...
I 've found some similar problems in notes and made recommended
workarounds -without
success! (ncp>set link state off, removing PW32 then run pws2dnst.exe
and
new installation of PW32 - nothing helps!)
Older Excursions in customer site works properly, so I think, that
problem is not
in X aplications. When I configure Excursions 3.0 with TCP/IP
everything works ok.
It looks anything is wrong in socket interface with DECnet.

Customer also complains problem to setup Excursion 3.0 for use colors
from user profile
(defined in X session manager). He can only use default colors or
definition
from local PC file.
Because this is biggest customer with major revenue for Digital there,
it looks I must resolve these problems soon.
Thank you for reply

If you are willing to test our latest beta code, it may help
get this resolved faster. Please see note 3293.
Thanks.

Something else to try is to disable decitot and see if that
makes a difference.
To do that, find your decitot.sys file and rename it to
decitot.nosys. Then reboot.

o.k. I just found one thing that might help you.
I normally run my excursion apps from decnet vms node jamin:: to
my pc. I went into excursion control panel and chose "access"
and added this decnet entry in the "valid nodes" section:
node: jamin
user: fooey
Note that we don't actually have a user called "fooey" on node
jamin.
After saving this entry, I could not restart excursion anymore.
I will have to look into this problem more.
However, the workaround that allowed me to be able to start excursion
again was to run "regedit" and get into this page:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Digital Equipment Corporation\
eXcursionV2.0\Configuration\Config0
Once there, I double-clicked on "ValidNodes" and cleared out that
field (it had "jamin::fooey" in it), after which I was again able
to run excursion.
Does this help you ?

| Hello Eric,
Thank you for quick answer. I tried your advises with this result
re2
I haven't decitot.sys file in my test PC. I didn't install TCP/IP.
But in registry I found confusing parametr ITOT_Installed=TRUE.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Digital.../PATHWORKS/Setup/CurrentConf..).
Changing to FALSE (and reboot) has no effect.

Clearing this value has the same effect, as clearing from Excursion
control panel. But I want to have Control access functioning.
( I used valid account, in registry was: DECNET praha vodicka).
re1
My collegue, who has excursion beta test installed, gets same errors
when runs decw$session or sets control access. But we didn't try all
possibilities. We will continue testing.
User profile colors may solve my collegue advise to use commands
$ xrdb :== $decw$utils:xrdb
$ xrdb -nocpp DECW$SMB_WINDOW_COLOR.DAT;2
before any X application starts. But Excursion 2 doesn't need this
commands and colors are user defined.
Last customer complain is bad X application order in Windows task bar
( he uses XWindow - built-in windows manager). But I found in notes,
that it is principal problem not solved yet. Isn't it?
Thank you again for your ideas, because mine are exhausted.

My experimentation shows that even *valid* access control
node-user combinations will prevent excursion from running.
We'll need to fix this later.
Does the access control offered in dxsession or DECW$SESSION
help you for now ?

I am afraid that customer will be not satisfied with this solution.
Would escalation help?
Is it Excursion or Pathworks problem?
Have you noticed another two problems (colours and task bar)?

|
Yes, I think an escalation on the access-control problem is in order.
As for other problems, such as color and task bar, please put
in a separate note (one per problem). Escalation may be
required for those if we can't give you a quick answer
on them.

I am coleague of Michal who did some testing. Just one info. I have
installed SP3 from Microsoft.

Do you have evidence that excursion works before sp3 and not
after ?
|
| 3299.10 | no way | DECPRG::PRSS2::csfr::markus | | Thu Jun 05 1997 09:19 | 7 |
| re .-1
Eric,
maybe I didn't express myself corectly. The true staement should be
Even with SP3 it doesn't work. Our customer is on the SP1, I tried SP2 and
SP3.
