2775.0. "TSAM and RWMBX problem" by MERIDN::ATTERBERRY () Thu Apr 16 1992 00:53

    hi,
    
    I've been running with the following configuration for a while
    and was wondering why a process using the TSAM hangs occasionally.
    
    Vax 3900 VMS V5.4-3
    DECmcc T1.2.4
    TSAM V1.0
    ELM T1.2
    
    From time to time when I query a terminal server my process hangs.
    when I do a SHOW SYSTEM the process is in a RWMBX.  When I execute
    the TSAM startup procedure I can then access the terminal servers
    again.  Is this another one of those known bugs or something else.
    
    Thanks.

2775.1Fixed with TSAM version T1.0.7TOOK::FONSECAI heard it through the Grapevine...Thu Apr 16 1992 19:2415
There is a known problem with the baselevel of TSAM you are using
which can result in a hang. Although I can't say for sure that we
have fixed your hanging problem, when our next baslevel comes out
(which is coming out at the same time as DECmcc EFT update very very soon now),
I would like you to install, and see if the problem is still there.

This would typically manifest itself when the terminal server was inaccessable
for any reason (down, being accessed by another user etc.)

You would not by any chance be using the ELMs listener would you?
That can not be running at the same time TSAM is being used.

Thanks,

Dave
2775.2Hangs while creating/deleting alarmsMERIDN::ATTERBERRYThu Apr 16 1992 21:1215
    Hi Dave,
    
    I don't have the ELMs listener running, but I do have the ELM AM
    running.  I will install the new baselevel software as soon as all
    three components I need are available.  I have about 200 alarms
    being evaluated every two minutes so if there's a problem I know
    about it pretty quick.  The hang occurs typically when I'm creating
    and deleting terminal server alarms.  It will get through the first
    alarm but sit and hang forever on the next.  Since I have this in a
    batch job the first thing I do now is restart the TSAM to get around
    this problem.
    
    Thanks for the info.

Joe-

If you have more than one alarm defined for a particular terminal server,
that would fit well with the bug we know about.  TSAM would be stepping
on its own feet so to speak.  Lets see how the next version works for you.
