4197.0. "5.0E - PWRK$LICENSE_R Is Dying - Clients Can't connect" by TOHOPE::CARZELL_M () Sat Mar 08 1997 02:53

Hello!

Has anyone seen this problems with 5.0E?

Customer has upgraded from 5.0D ECO 3 to 5.0E.  He is running on an 
Alpha with OpenVMS 6.2.  Since doing so they are unable to make any
connection to the server-- PWRK$LICENSE_R starts and then dies.  The
PWRK$LOGS:PWRK$LICENSE_R_node.LOG files reports the error message 

	Error opening primary input file SYS$INPUT
	File not found

What file is being referring to???

ADMIN/ANALYZE and NET ERROR /REVERSE report nothing significant.  All of 
the other PATHWORKS processes are up and running.  NBSHOW NBSTATUS shows 
nothing unusual nor does MC PCSA_CLAIM_NAME.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Update:
    
    We were finally able to get the process to stay up by manually 
    starting it after the pwrk$startup has completed starting all 
    of the other processes. In all cases the customer is using 
    the SYSTEM account for starting PATHWORKS and for manually 
    starting PWRK$LICENSE_R process. He was also able to write 
    a COM procedure to run the PWRK$LICENSE_REGISTRAR.EXE and 
    he is able to submit the comprocedure to batch to start it.
    
    So the Big Question is: What is PWRK$STARTUP doing ie, symbols,
    logicals or whatever that is different. We have checked rms 
    protection on the PATHWORKS logs directories and so forth. 
    We have check the SYSTEM account in authorize and cant see 
    any reason for the failure. The customer has currently downgraded 
    to V5.0D ECO3 and is still having the same problem.

    Do you have a PWRK$Common:PWRK.Ini file on your system?  
    If yes, is there a [AltStart] section?  
    If yes, is there anything  which refers to the "License_R"?  
    If so, remove it.
    
    When you say it the registrar isn't able to start - does it run at all?
    If so, how log does it actually stay up? Are the Registrar log files
    created? (you said yes, just checking) Is there anything in either the
    PWRK$LICENSE_R_node.Log or PWRK$LICENSE_REGISTRAR_node.Log log files
    (in directory PWRK$Logs), other than what you already posted?
    
    Is there a PWRK$LICENSE_REGISTRAR.DMP dump file in PWRK$Logs?
    
    If the log files are being created, please be sure to turn on verbose
    logging for the license registrar ($ Define/system PWRK$LrLogVerbose 1).

    Thanks for the response Steve...
    
    The customer did indeed have an [Altstart] section in pwrk.ini...
