1880.0. "MCC-F-FATAL_FW error" by SWTHOM::NOBRE (Jocelyne Nobre - CST France) Thu Dec 05 1991 13:20

	Hi,

	My customer uses DECMCC BMS version 1.1 with the 
	MCCBMS011_PATCH_ALARMS_1 patch.He uses the event manager
	and enable the alarms in a batch job.	
	
	Sometimes (?),
	as soon as the decnet event occurs , the corresponding alarm
	does not appear.
	
	It seems there is no information in the mcc_dna4_evl logfile :

	....................
	Ready to read the next event message...
	Ready to read the next event message...
	Ready to read the next event message...
	
	If he stops the batch job and restarts it, the alarms fire back and
	he founds in the batch logfile the following message :
	
%MCC-F-FATAL_FW, fatal framework condition : Failed to dequeue next ready thread	
%MCC-F-FATAL_FW, fatal framework condition : Failed to dequeue next ready thread	
%MCC-F-FATAL_FW, fatal framework condition : Failed to dequeue next ready thread	
%MCC-F-FATAL_FW, fatal framework condition : Failed to dequeue next ready thread	

	Is this problem known ?
	Any suggestions in trying to track it ?

	Thanks a lot.

	JOcelyne.

    Okay, part of your problem is most likely due the killing of the batch
    job. MCC is a multi threaded system, what you are doing when you kill
    the batch job is that you are killing most likely one of many threads
    that are running through the system. The alarms FM is still running in
    batch, still believes that it has a thread outstanding to get the
    events from the dna4_evl that you just killed. Please make use of MCC
    to terminate processes, do not simply kill them. I believe this is
    documented (in the overly verbose) release notes. Since you killed the
    batch job you will have to bring down ALL copies of MCC that are
    running to completely clean up. This means the alarms batch job, any
    users currently running MCC, as well as any other event sinks or
    reporting/exporting currently active. This is necessary for the MCC
    event manager to shutdown and perform a clean up.
