3402.0. "mail to function (ALL-IN-1 V23) problem" by ECFA01::ANDRE () Fri Oct 15 1993 23:28

    I'm working with All-in-1 2.3 (sorry ...) and I'm trying to
    
    execute the following commands :
    
    	$ ALLIN1/NOINIT
    	Enter CMD: OA$INI_INITIALIZE
        Enter CMD: MAIL CREATE/OPEN/NOSEND
        Enter CMD: MAIL TO "ME"
        Enter CMD: MAIL TO "PERSONWHODOESNTEXIST"
    
    After that , I receive a "SYSTEM ACCESS VIOLATION" message and a 
    
    dump screen .
    
    I know that I have an old version , but ... 
    
    
    		thanks

3402.1Gotta start the mail sub-system first!BOOZER::MARTIN::BELLMartin Bell, NETCC, Birmingham UKMon Oct 18 1993 11:485
Its a guess, 'cos i don't have a v2.3 handy, but you probably also
need to initialise MAIL itself. Take a look at the named data on
the EMC form for a MAIL INITIALIZE command.

3402.3Upgrade to 3.0 "problem" has been solved.GIDDAY::SETHIHolland 2-England 0,Andrew wasn't thereTue Oct 19 1993 02:4412
    Hi Andre',
    
    >Do you have other suggestions ??
    
    Tried the exact lines of code that you have in the base note under
    ALL-IN-1 version 3.0 and had no problems.  I guess since 2.3 is
    supported on a best effort bases that means ..... please upgrade to 3.0
    as whatever problem 2.3 had it certainly has been addressed in 3.0.
    
    Regards,

3402.6>> 2.3 restriction <<ECFA01::ANDRETue Oct 19 1993 15:5113
I checked before the NICKNAMES file, and it's all right, the same with
UAPASSWRD.DAT.
    
Unfortunately I cannot upgrade ALL-IN-1 in my customer.
    
In my country we have the portuguese version (but with a lot of customizations)
of this product until version 2.3. But since 3.0 we're using BRAZILIAN version.
    
The migration is a very complex procedure , and we're making a lot of tests
before doing it on the customers. So, I can't do it at this moment.
    
Do you think that I can tell that it's a restriction of the version? I mean,
the "system access violation"...

3402.7I'm sure I've heard this before...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Oct 19 1993 21:466
    I have a feeling I've heard about this before. You might like to look
    in this and the previous versions of this notesfile.

    PS Please take care to spell ALL-IN-1 correctly. Thanks.
3402.8Init the stackLEMAN::UELTSCHIIsabelle necessary on a bicycle ?Thu Oct 21 1993 17:3326
	Last chance,...

	Try to init the stack with the function MAIL PUSH
	(optionally MAIL PUSH oa$curmess).

	$allin1/noinit/user=x
	oa$init_initialize
	mail initialize
	MAIL PUSH
          .
	  .
	  .
	MAIL POP
	exit

	It doesn't create an access violation with version 3.0 if you omit
	this function (as reported in reply .3), but it does with v2.3

	Hope it will solve the problem.

	Bernard U. 

	


	
3402.9<< system access violation again >>ECFA01::ANDRETue Oct 26 1993 20:489
    
    	It didn't work .
    
    	Same problem again , even when I use the MAIL PUSH (POP) command .

3402.10Time to look for the workaroundFORTY2::ASHMail Interchange Group, ReadingWed Oct 27 1993 12:3215
Well, no matter what's wrong here, you won't get a fix, so you have to 
identify exactly what's causing the problem and then see if there's a useable 
workround.

So, what exactly causes the ACCVIO? have you tried:

	not putting in the personwhodoesntexist
	putting it in before the ME?
	not putting in ME
	using a partial address before the personwhodoesntexist e.g. ANDR
	using CC instead of TO?

	etc etc

3402.11Still looks like NICKNAMES.DAT to meOASS::PCMIKE::lamberson_mWed Oct 27 1993 15:168
Andre',

You say you checked the NICKNAMES.DAT file. Did you just verify it existed or 
did you also make sure that it was an "indexed" file, not sequential? Which 
account did you check NICKNAMES.DAT in? Which account are you trying to run 
this script from? An "ACCESS VIOLATION" when entering an invalid username is 
normally an indication that the NICKNAMES.DAT file does not exist or is 
sequential rather than indexed.
3402.12<< still haven't found what I'm looking for >>ECFA01::ANDREWed Oct 27 1993 16:5819
    
    	Ok , let's continue .
    
    	YEs , I looked at NICKNAMES.DAT and it's there and still indexed .
    
    	I tried the sugestions from .10 and I have the access violation
    
    with the MAIL TO and MAIL CC .
    
    	Doing a partial recognition doesn't change the problem .
    
    	I did the procedure using the Manager's account , and with a user's
    
    account too .
    
    
    			thanks  ,

3402.13NETWORK.dat is involvedLEMAN::UELTSCHIIsabelle necessary on a bicycle ?Mon Nov 01 1993 13:3512
Did you check the file [allin1.data_share]NETWORK.DAT , do you have one
in the site directory?... is it an indexed file?...

If you have enough privilege (need CMKRNL), you can setup the watch
functionality to see the file causing the access violation.

	$ set watch file/class=(all,nodump)
        $ allin1
        $ set watch file/class=none

3402.14<< last file accessed >>VAXRIO::ANDREThu Nov 04 1993 17:0313
    
    Bernard ,
    
    	I checked the NETWORK.DAT , and it's all right . (directory and 
    organization).
    
    	Using the SET WATCH , the last file accessed before the "system
    access violation" was the PENDING.DAT .
