I want to find out (in DCL!) on which node a given process runs:
I have the process-name and his pid, but I don't know on which node on the
cluster it runs.

SHOW PROCESS/ID=pid  gives me the information, but I want it in a symbol
and I don't want to use temporary files.

Any hints?

 Thank you in advance for any help. Now onto the question ---

  We are looking for an economical way to exchange data between a DEC
VAX 4000 and an IBM AS/400.  The connectivity solutions we have seen 
are all very expensive, complex, and large.  We want something like a
standard serial line (RS-232) connection between the 2 machines.  Then
all we would need is simple software to write back and forth across the
link. We don't need terminal emulation, remote batch submission, file
transfer, or any other 'high level' functions.  All we need is simple
record level send/receive functionality.  We would not  mind writing
this software or if something simple and inexpensive was available, we
would not mind purchasing software.  Our purchase budget on this is a
few thousand dollars maximum.  We have never made this kind of connection
and we are looking for any help or advice on solving this problem.

Thank you, Ben, Paul, & Kurt

  Yup. The image activator uses block I/O. It will even load "undefined" file
types. However, that's only the image activator. Things like PATCH will likely
be upset by funny file formats.

  In Bliss Kermit-32, you do SET FILE TYPE FIXED and SET FILE BLOCKSIZE 32256.
In C-Kermit, you either use FILE TYPE LABELED (which preserves all attributes)
or SET FILE RECORD-LENGTH 32256.

  You can get both Kermit versions from watsun.cc.columbia.edu. The Bliss one
is in kermit/b/vms*.*. The C-Kermit one is in kermit/sw/ck*.*. Note that C-
Kermit has a number of large performance improvements over Bliss Kermit-32. As
soon as the public beta test period ends, C-Kermit will replace Bliss Kermit-32
as the "default" VMS Kermit. The Bliss version is not actively supported at
this time.

     You should build it at least twice, using the first one to rebuild
itself.  If you're not using an earlier version of GCC on the first pass,
or if you're using a much older version of GCC, you should build it _three_
times and with optimizations suppressed during the first build.  Each new
version often has additional optimizations that are useful in the compiler
itself (you want compiles to run as quickly as possible don't you?) and the
executable file(s) for the compiler won't benefit from them unless they've
been built with the newer compiler...

     GCC 2.3.* has some annoying new warnings (under -Wparentheses, which
is included as part of -Wall) that you may not like.

Hunter,

It looks like you're OK in what you're trying to do.  They'll install
the SABB in the bottom of your 6320. They'll be down at about foot level.  
The RA72s aren't quite 1.0GB, they're more like 950 MB.  A fully loaded
SA72 will take 4 SDI ports on your KDB50s.  

We are replacing 11 RA81s with a 4-drive SA72 (I consolidate the disks
next weekend.  Ick).  The new drives will pay for themselves in
maintenance money saved in about 16 months.  BTW, DEC is VERY eager to get
the RA8xs out of the field, so they have had an attractive exchange offer
running:  trade in your RA8xs for RA72s with a very substantial
discount.  If you haven't talked to your DEC SalesDroid about it, do so.

Yep.

To all:

Thanks for all of your replies on the subject.  Obviously I missed
an important section in the New Features manual (excuse: Bookreader
is our site's only means for VMS documentation...that's right, no
paper copies.  Sigh, I miss browsing...)

Well, anyway, I can offer a little tid-de-bit.  We demo'ed RTF
(Remote Tape Facility), from Touch Technologies I believe.  It
allows you to share tape devices over the Ethernet, and it seemed
to work quuite well.  Performance wasn't bad at all (but we didn't
traverse a bridge on the Ethernet...they promote "worldwide access").
We didn't buy it because we'll wait for VAXcluster sharing instead.
Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer  :)

Thanks again!

Don't feel bad, all it said was that it only works on TMSCP tape drives. They

Is it possible to move process dumps from system to system and analyze them
elsewhere (the versions of VMS may differ from system to system)?

I tried this using UUCP to copy the dumps, but when I invoke ANALYZE/PROCESS on
the copies I get:

        SYSTEM-W-BADFILEVER

which is complaining about the version number of a file being bogus.  I'm
trying to transfer a save set containing the dump file to see if that helps.

I can analyze them just fine on the original system.  (Which isn't always an
option)

Has anybody out there done this successfully? and What is the BADFILEVER trying
to tell me.  The system messages and recovery procedures is unhelpful in this
context.

Howdy.  We have 2 RA82s and 4 RA81s that I'd like to replace.  They're
connected to a VAX 6320 via two KDB50 controllers.  My plan is to
replace them with a 4.0GB SABB consisting of 4 RA72s.  According to
the DECdirect catalog, the SA72-PK is for VAX 6xxx Field Installable,
which *should* mean that it will fit inside the 6320 cabinet.

Naturally, we have no money, but I can finance them over a couple of
years using the maintenance we're currently paying on the RA8xs.  My
question to you, if you know the answer, is: is there anything else I
need besides the SA72-PK?  They should fit in our 6320 cabinet and
hook directly to our KDB50s---right?  Am I missing anything?

Thanks.

Larry,

You need to create an environment file from SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.PAS.  Try:

$ PASCAL/ENVIRONMENT=SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.PEN SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.PAS

(You might want to make sure that STARLET.PEN is world readable).

X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.24

Question:   Does anyone know why DECps-Data Collector (DECps-DC) is a
 prerequisite to DECps Accounting Chargeback (DECps-AC)?  It doesn't
 appear that DECps-AC touches any of the data collected by DECps-DC.

Gripes:   Also, how many folks think that the DECps-AC is pretty lame?  Here
 are a couple of issues that I see:  

 A.  Disk Usage:   Let's assume that you want to charge in units of
 blocks/day and that your charge period is one month. 

   In order to get disk usage, you need to generate an ANALYZE/DISK/USAGE
   report for each day and each disk and then append these 30+ reports to
   a single file for use by the ADVISE... command.  Please!  You don't
   need the gigabytes of information which this scenario requires.  (I
   just got a single usage report for a volume-set of two RZ23's and it
   produced close to a 2000 block USAGE.DAT file.  Muliply that by 30 and
   you have a 60000-block file for one month.  Imagine what it would be
   like if you were calculating it on "real" disk volume(s)!)

   I have a really rudimentary disk usage accounting program which
   estimates the actual usage each day by qio-ing all of the disks on the
   system and querying the diskquota for all of the uic's. This value is
   then added to a month-long running total  for each uic.  The result is
   a file containing records of each UIC with its corresponding running
   total.  (This design could be easily modified to address DECps-AC's
   issue of charging "Categories.")  It would seem that this would be a
   much more desirable approach to get this  information than the
   ANAL/DISK/USAGE method.  (Too bad I can't tell it to use my routine!:-)
   
 B.  JOB-class charging:    

   There doesn't appear to be a way to assign different prices if a
   particular job was run in batch in a specific queue or if it was 	
   run at a different priority than DEFPRI.

   You could always create separate accounting binary files which were
   generated by ACCOUNT/PRIO=x/BIN... and then use the ADVISE CHAR/CATEG
   command,  but you then won't be able to generate a single bill.

 C.  Wouldn't it be nice to have ADVISE CHARGE_BACK REPORT/USER=(...)
 or ADVISE CHARGE_BACK REPORT/UIC=[*,*]

 	Here again, you could create separate binary files using ACCOUNT/USER,
 	but why go through that intermediate steps/files?

 D.  I would have liked to see more resource pricing recommendations based on a 
 formula similar to the one in AppB of the DECps-DC user's guide.

 	That's about enough from me for now.  :-)
