2795.0. "Unable to get T1.2.7 Iconic Map running ..." by LATACP::J_HASSENCAHL (CSC/Atlanta Network Support) Mon Apr 20 1992 14:23

Hello,

	I just finished installing the T1.2.7 BMS kit on a VAXstation 3100 M38
with 24mb of memory and a SPX board.  The system is running Amber VMS, T5.5-1E7.
The installation and IVP came off without any problems.  When I attempt to bring
up the Iconic Map, I get the following error:

LATACP $ manage/ent/int=decw

 software error: unable to assign widget events for console thread.
 %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=10, virtual address=000832B1, P
C=00000000, PSL=00000000
%MCC-F-PM_NULEVTERR, software error: unable to assign widget events for console
thread.

The character cell interfaces come up without any problems.

Suggestions?

2795.1Reinstall 5.5 SSBSEVERN::BREWTONTue Apr 21 1992 13:487
    I also was unable to run the T1.2.7 BMS kit under 5.5-1E7. I
    reinstalled 5.5 SSB and that fixed the problem in .0
    
    Beware of 5.5-1E7!!

    Try running MCC_AUDIT.COM to make sure your system and your account
    have adequate system resources/user quotas.
    
    We have a system running 5.5-1E7 here, and it seems to be working fine
    with pre-T1.2.7 kit.  I'll try T1.2.7 kit on that system as soon as
    it's installed.

2795.3engineers use debug, fortune-tellers use tea leavesTOOK::BURGESSTue Apr 21 1992 19:2132
Looking through the mcc_x_assign_widget_events rtn,
I found over a half dozen unlikely reasons why it might fail.
Obviously you encountered one such outrageous condition.

To identify the unusual condition, would you do the following:

$ define mcc_log 8
$ manage/e/d/i=d
  DBG> set output log
  DBG> set br/exc
  DBG> go

The rtn raises exceptions for all detected errors, so
we'll just let the debugger trap the exceptions and
identify the culprit.  If an cma-e-alert exceptions are
reported by the debugger, just enter DBG> GO.

If you catch "the exception of interest", then
DBG> show images
DBG> set module mcc_fw_xevents
DBG> sho calls
DBG> set radix hex
DBG> ex /i .pc
DBG> examine .ap  ! Should be either 1 or 2
DBG> examine <cr> ! Possible ref to widget: If value not equal 0, the EXAMINE .. ; examine ..  (valid widget points to itself)
DBG> examine <cr> ! Possible ref to display: If value not equal 0 and .ap = 2 then EXAMINE ..

exit 

Post or mail me the debug.log

2795.4Died looking for DECW$DXM_I18NLIB_EN_US.EXELATACP::J_HASSENCAHLCSC/Atlanta Network SupportTue Apr 21 1992 22:2410
Hello,

	After running in the debugger, as was initially outlined, I found that
it was an error from the image activator due to not being able to find the file
DECW$DXM_I18NLIB_EN_US.EXE in SYS$LIBRARY.  I sent mail on the images and calls
to see if that would help.

Thanks,

John
2795.5Same ProbMAYDAY::ANDRADEThe sentinel (.)(.)Wed May 13 1992 13:3812
    I am also running VMS 5.5-1E7 and I was able to invoke the Iconic Map
    with MCC T1.2.4 and after upgrading  to T1.2.7, only when I installed
    the ELM module did things break down. 
    
    Now after deleting all mcc files and re-installing, I got the same
    exact error/bug as reported in .0
    
    And I can't find the  DECW$DXM_I18NLIB_EN_US.EXE  file, mcc needs,
    anywhere. Will copying one into the sys$library directory help, or
    is this just the first of a long list ?

2795.6VMS problem?SLINK::CHILDSEd ChildsWed May 13 1992 14:206
    Is it possible for you to upgrade your VMS 5.5-1E7 to VMS 5.5 SSB?  In
    one of the replies here, that seems to have fixed the problem.  This
    doesn't look like an ELM problem to me.  Can you try this command and
    post the results?

    $ @SYS$TEST:MCC_ELM_IVP.COM
2795.7Best guess: problem with DECW$XLIBSHR.exe imageTOOK::BURGESSThu May 14 1992 21:4816
John,

When I ran DECmcc on your system I found that an accvio was
occurring in LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL on a movc3 instruction.
The input parameters to the LIBRTL rtn were valid:  image DECW$XLIBSHR,
symbol xdisplaystring.

The problem seems to be with the access by LFIS to this questionable 
DECW shareable image.  I don't believe that DECmcc can be made to 
work with these two feuding underlying services.

I recommend upgrading your field test system software.

Thanks for your help in isolating this problem.

    Re.6 (Ed)
    
    To late, I have downgraded VMS to v5.5 SSB, and re-installed everything.
    from scratch (likelly I could aford to do this). And everything works now.
