2046.0. "sandboxes sucked dry" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Thu Jan 11 1996 20:30

Subj: 	sandboxes sucked dry

Okay, something is definitely wrong here.  John was able to
help me reconstruct the .BCSconfig file so I could do the
submit (thanks John!), however, I've never touched the
.BCSconfig file so I have no idea why this disappeared.

On to a larger problem.  I have a number of sandboxes backed
to ptos which have been around for a while.  Here's what I
get when I try to do a workon:

$ workon -sb cxx6
>> WARNING in current_set:
>> ERROR: cannot read from sets rc file
  /home/tomp/sb/cxx6/rc_files/sets.
>> FATAL ERROR in workon:
        no default set name; none entered.
$

I also had a slew of files bci'd in that particular sandbox
and they are now all MISSING!  These are changes that I never
had a chance to submit, but wanted to keep around for others to
reference as they do similar submits in the future.  Does
ODE have a time-out period on sandboxes or bci'd files, after
which it reclaims everything checked out and disables the
sandbox?  I'll try to dig up information on actual file names
and rev #s from bstats (though I'm not sure if I still have this
info laying around).

Can someone pls explain any/all of the above?

thx,
- Tom

More fat to chew on: 	

$ mksb -back ptos odeisbroken

sandbox rc file, /home/tomp/sb/tools/rc_files/local, does not exists

I haven't touched the /home/tomp/sb/tools/rc_files/local file, but it
seems to be gone. *sigh*
