5118.0. "Monitor with "no open channels" ?" by NOMAHS::SECRIST (Rdb WWS; [email protected]) Thu Mar 06 1997 16:48

    
    [rdb v6.1-04, alpha vms v6.2 + patches from note 9.166]
    
    Are there any known issues with the monitor process hanging
    with "no open channels" ?  Any idea how a monitor could
    lose all channels ?  
    
    Customer was doing normal operations, monitor was holding a 
    lock that blocked all processes, but no RMU/SHOW STAT stall 
    messages information was checked.  Customer attempted to
    STOP/ID the monitor process after the an Rdb shutdown hung
    to no avail and finally rebooted the system.  Customer's
    normal operations included a COBOL job doing database
    record deletions from a procedure running under DECscheduler
    (which would not SCHED ABORT because it was apparently
    blocked).  Customer said "CDA" showed "no open channels"
    (but presumably he means SDA?).  Any ideas ?

	> Customer said "CDA" showed "no open channels" was the process marked delete pending? perhaps all of the files where already closed and the process was stuck during the rundown.
