3644.0. "QAR Database for DECwindows SBB 5.4 (which one??)" by MUTTON::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara) Mon Nov 12 1990 18:07

Hello,

I just went into the QAR system on TRIFID (QAR_INTERNAL) to QAR the problem 
in #3614 and  I have a question as to which database I should use??  The 
problem is readily reproducable under SBB 5.4 DECWINDOWS but the only 
database available was DECWINDOWS-IFT is this the database I should use???

Note #2 indicated that there should be a regular DECWINDOWS database but
this didn't seem to be available.

Which one should I use??

use the decwindows-ift database for pre v3 stuff, use decw-v3-internal for v3.

Gee... I entered one in the V5 database under the DECwindows facility. I saw
two other recent ones. Wrong place ??? [ars].

Gee, yes.  I'll even copy it from the release notes if that carries more weight:

          QAR SYSTEM

          A QAR system has been set up on TRIFID to allow you to report 
	  problems you have with VMS DECwindows. Please be sure
          to enter VMS-specific DECwindows QARs in the internal database
	  on TRIFID.

	  We have a new QAR database for DECwindows V3. Please start
	  using the DECW-V3-INTERNAL database. The DECWINDOWS-IFT 
	  database should only be used for V1 and V2 problems.
                
          For internal access to the DECW-V3-INTERNAL database you may
          use the QAR account:

               Name: QAR_INTERNAL
               Password: QAR

          When you enter a QAR, please be sure to explicitly state
          the name of the field test (or intermediate baselevel) you
          are running, the release of the VMS operating system you
          are running it on, and the type of workstation you are using 
	  (e.g., VAXstation 2000/GPX).
