2838.0. "IMPM sanity check failure." by SUBWAY::REILLY (Mike Reilly - New York Bank District) Thu Apr 23 1992 18:10

    Using EFT 1.2.7 on Ultrix 4.2 I am seeing the following error in the
    IMPM . A number of popups appears with the following message:
    
    
    Notify Request 1 for domain .domain.world encountered an exception
    
    Unexpected condition returned to Notification PM
    
    MCC Routine Error:  %MCC-E-RECEIVEERROR, error trying to
    			receive a packet.
    
    
    At the same time the DECterm window used to invoke DECmcc logs the
    following message many times:
    
    Disaster IPC server unmarshall input sanity check failure
    
    If I acknowledge the pop-up messages I can continue working.
    
    At the time these messages were seen, I was just navigating between
    a few domains.

2838.1	Any old files arround?	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033	`Thu Apr 23 1992 19:48`	6
	The only time we have seen this type of message is when someone mixes executables from two different baselevels. Might you have any pre-T1.2.7 executables still on the system? Or perhaps some DECmcc process (an event sink?) was running during an upgrade?
2838.2		SUBWAY::REILLY	Mike Reilly - New York Bank District	`Thu Apr 23 1992 21:43`	4
	I just did an ls -l on the /usr/mcc/mmexe and /usr/mcc/mcc_system directories and all executables were created at installation time. - Mike

2838.4	old processes?	DADA::DITMARS	Pete	`Fri Apr 24 1992 14:17`	8
	What about the second question: >Or perhaps some DECmcc process (an event sink?) was running >during an upgrade? Is there any possibility of that? If you can, can you either kill every mcc process on the system (mcc_kill won't do it all) or just reboot and let us know if the problem persists.
2838.5	also, I've heard udm can interfere with proper behavior	DADA::DITMARS	Pete	`Fri Apr 24 1992 14:58`	2
	if you're using the assett udm, try turning it off and reproducing the problem, and please let us know if this has any impact.
