2553.0. "Problems with OA$WPL_ALL_TV.EXE" by KERNEL::SIMPSONR (fred) Tue Mar 04 1997 18:58

ALL-IN-1 V3.1 on an AlphaServer 2100, OpenVMS V6.2

I have a customer that asks if there is anyway to relocate the image
OA$WPL_ALL_TV.EXE from SYS$SHARE to another disk ? When his users log in (about
1,000 of them, all at 7:30 AM) the system disk is getting hammered and the main
hot-file is this image. The system disk has a queue of nearly 100 (!!) on it
until the log-in activity dies down. The image appears installed correctly but
is still being read from the system disk.

He has now set up an EXEC/SYSTEM logical that is called OA$WPL_ALL_TV which
points to another disk location. This works fine and has found no problems in
doing this. However he would just like to check if this is a supported way of
achieving this, if not why not and how else can he achieve it?

I did read him the article 2084 in this conference as well,

Any feedback,
Regards,
Richard Simpson.

    Is the file $INSTALLed /OPEN/HEADER ? If so, I agree it's odd that it's
    still taking all those I/Os. Perhaps you should consult an OpenVMS
    heavy - maybe you are one :-)
    
    I think that the logical is, indeed, a supported method of redirecting
    the image activator's attentions to an alternative location. I'm fairly
    sure that we won't be accessing the file directly, only the system will
    be doing so.

        Upgrading to ALL-IN-1 v3.2 will help spread the timing out for
        this file.
