Hi,
After a system disk reinstallation, a customer of mine is no more able
to start DECwindows.
He normally use DECnet as transport.
DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG report :
...........................
Now attach all known txport images
Can't start transports
..........................
The customer does assume that DECnet is running correctly,
The following checks were performed :
$ INSTALL LIST SYS$SHARE:DECW$TRANSPORT_DECNET
SYS_ADAMO:<SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSLIB>.EXE
DECW$TRANSPORT_DECNET;1
Open Hdr Shar Prot Lnkbl
$sho log *transport*/table=*
(DECW$SERVER0_TABLE)
"DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS" = "DECNET"
Note that for a system without any problem, there is an additional
symbol like :
(LNM$JOB_81ECE200)
"DECW$TRANSPORT_DECNET_MBX_0" = "MBA24:"
What does the "start " of the transport consist on ?
Do you have any idea on what to check, which test or tey to perform ?
Thank you for your help !
-Pierre

Use analyze/image to get the image file identification and the link date/time for the DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE image in sys$library. Please provide us with this information - there could be a mismatch with the transport images. /bob | |||||

The image file identification for "DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON" was "DECwindows V5.4" for the system that was not working and "DW V6.2" for another system without problem. Both system were supposed to be identical and the customer doesn't really understand (or remember) what he did wrongly. Anyway, copying DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON from the "good" system to the "bad on has fixed the problem. Thank you veru much for your help Bob! /Pierre | |||||

The version of DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE with the "DECwindows V5.4" is a stub, that is why the transports would not work correctly. This was done for V6.0, but that is another story. Reinstalling VMS and selecting the DECwindows base support will always ensure that the stubs are replaced by the correct versions. DECW$TAILOR has some problems - deleting the old DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE first usually works. > Anyway, copying DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON from the "good" system > to the "bad on has fixed the problem. Just make sure the two versions of VMS match, otherwise you could run into problems. /bob | |||||
