I have a TZ857 cartridge system on an Infoserver 150.
It seems to be working pretty well.  I'm learning how to use the SLS product
at the same time and SLS takes most of the work.  The Infoserver doesn't
automatically serve a tape drive as there isn't a service to advertise.
You can either create a permanent tape service or load a labeled tape and
it will then be advertised. I use a defined service name so it will be the same
service name for use with all backups.

X-Unparsable-Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 02:54:31.85 MST


 
    I am having trouble calling the $GETQUI system service from VAX C. I have
set everything up right(I think), gotten success status' returned, etc.,
but nothing is returned...
 
    Here is the current environment:
 
        I have OPER privs as default...
        There ARE jobs in SYS$BATCH when the program is run...
        $GETQUI returns no information...
 
    Here is the source code:
 
/* GETNAME.C -- call SYS$GETQUI to return names of jobs in a queue */
#include <quidef.h>
 
struct list3_item {
        short buflen;
        short code;
        void *buffer;
        long *retlen;
};
 
#define DEFAULT_QUEUE   "SYS$BATCH"
#define BATCH_SRCH      QUI$M_SEARCH_BATCH
#define QUE_SRCH        BATCH_SRCH | QUI$M_SEARCH_WILDCARD
#define JOB_SRCH        QUE_SRCH | QUI$M_SEARCH_ALL_JOBS
#define ENTRY_SRCH      QUE_SRCH | QUE$M_SEARCH_FREEZE_CONTEXT
 
main(int count, char **args)
{
        char *queue;
        unsigned long status;
 
        if (count < 2)
                queue = DEFAULT_QUEUE;
        else
                queue = args[1];
        disp_info(queue);
}
 
disp_info(char *queue_name)
{
        unsigned long queflgs = QUE_SRCH, jobflgs = JOB_SRCH, status;
        char job_name[255];
        long jname_len = 0;
        struct {
                struct list3_item name;
                struct list3_item flags;
                struct list3_item null;
        } itmlst = {
                { strlen(queue_name), QUI$_QUEUE_NAME, queue_name, 0 },

                { 0,0,0,0 }
        };
        struct {
                struct list3_item name;
                struct list3_item srchflgs;
                struct list3_item null;
        } itmlst2 = {
                { sizeof(job_name), QUI$_JOB_NAME, &job_name, &jname_len },
                { sizeof(jobflgs), QUI$_SEARCH_FLAGS, &jobflgs, 0 },
                { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
        };
 
        status = sys$getquiw(0,QUI$_CANCEL_OPERATION,0,0,0,0,0);
        printf("Status: %d\n",status);
        status = sys$getquiw(0,QUI$_DISPLAY_QUEUE,0,&itmlst,0,0,0);
        printf("Status: %d\n",status);

        job_name[jname_len] = 0;
        printf("len: %d, name: %s\n",jname_len,job_name);
}
 
    Here is the output when the program is run/ran:
 
Status: 1
Status: 1
Status: 1
len: 0, name:
 
    I know this will return only the name of the first job in the queue, but
even if I add a while() or do { } while() loop, job name is STILL always null.
 
    What am I doing wrong/not doing??

You can not get the owner-fiels from SYSUAF by DCL (not until DEC implements
F$GETUAI !).

You will have to call SYS$GETUAI from a small program. Example:

[inherit('sys$library:starlet')]

program z(input,output);

type
   item = record
             case boolean of
                true  : (
                        buflen,code : [word] 0..65535;
                        bufadr,retlenadr : integer;
                        );
                false : (
                        zero : integer;
                        );
          end;

var
   owner  : varying [32] of char;
   itmlst : array [1..2] of item;

begin
   itmlst[1].buflen:=32;
   itmlst[1].code:=UAI$_OWNER;
   itmlst[1].bufadr:=iaddress(owner.body);
   itmlst[1].retlenadr:=0;
   itmlst[2].zero:=0;
   $getuai(usrnam:='ARNE',itmlst:=itmlst);  (* <---- change username *)
   owner.length:=ord(owner.body[1])+1;
   owner:=substr(owner,2,length(owner)-1);
   writeln('Hello ',owner);
end.

If you want to use the information in DCL you can always put it into
a DCL symbol with LIB$SET_SYMBOL !

                get rid of this.  That is not a foreign command you want
                to define.

then dial dial dial

the DSIN screen is being build up, but no further keyboard input is accepted.
The same with all other dial-up connections.
An input of +++ will be accepted, therefor I think it is not the cabling.

What's wrong?


Thanks in advance

with kind regards

Hi all,

we have a severe problem with our TF-85 and the software "CA-Archiver".
We are using CA-Archiver successfully for years on 6250 bpi tapes and want to
transfer the files from the old tapes to new TF-85 ones. 

We do a rewrite, which tape to tape copies the files and updates the database. Everytime we come to a 6250 bpi tape in the range of 20 (there's a lot of space on a TF-85, we still have the first), the TF-85 is initialized in some mysterious way and CA-Archiver complains "Tape is not labeled" and indeed mounting the tape foreign displays that the label is gone and so are the copied files!!! 

Did anybody run into something comparable? 
For VMS-Backup purposes the tape works OK.

Any help is appreciated!

Just a note to say thanks to all those who answered my little survey about

The answer to my question about managing lists of users based on identifier

run authorize

Then edit the list to chop off the header.

Thanks again,

If you have something claiming to be "Version 1.3" then you probably
have Digital's VMS/Ultrix Connection software.  This is a completely
different product from TGV's MultiNet.

VMS/Ultrix Connection does not currently have E-mail capability, the
next release (V2.0) will have it.

To figure out which you have, issue the following command:

$ SHOW LOGICAL *MULTINET*

If you get "no logical name match" you aren't running TGV MultiNet.

For TPU, you probably ran out of BYTLM and/or PGFLQUO.  Increase your UAF BYTLM

It has been send with SEND/FOREIGN !

You can send any kind of file with SEND/FOREIGN and when you extract it
(/FOREIGN is apperently optional at the extract command) it keeps the
original file-format. So you can use it to mail binary files. For obvious
reasons you can only extract and not view such a file inside MAIL.

It is not documented in MAIL HELP or the MAIL manual, but I was once told that
it is documented in the PSI manual.

You should look at VMS-POSIX, a VERY inexpensive layered product on VMS V5.5. 
One of the value-added items of the Shell and Utilties is "tar". Yes, cpio is

I'm also interested by this book. Can you send me the information you get 
or post a summary in USENET, I think a lot of people will be interested.

Feel free to e-mail me.

Best regards.

Messy, but you could write a DCL procedure that issues SDA (ANALYZE/SYSTEM)
commands to locate it.

Hi...I know that Art Gonazoes (ARTG@LAGUNA) e-mailed you about some 
information today and yesterday.  But I have some questions that I want to
make sure that I understand...

	1) Are there another company for TELNET as I would like to use as 
	   EL Paso Community College has it, but I have a friend who wants to
	   use the vax as she is not the student of EPCC as I will be in
	   Washington D.C. to attend Gallaudet Unversity and they have the
	   TELNET ?  

	2) Do you mean that $25 for paying into accessing the compuserv and
	   paying $25 for each month ?  I am kind of confused.

	3) How come EPCC has the TELNET even though you don't have it??  

I hope that you would be able to answer these above questions.  I don't mean
to be desperated, but I really want the TELNET for me and my friend to get
in touch.

Thanks!

Then take a look at SLS from DEC.  It uses the regular VMS BACKUP utility and
has a pretty complete tape management system built into it.

The patches to supply an automatic IN% (pmdf) or SMTP% (MultiNet) are
available for anonymous FTP from vesta.sunquest.com in the 
[.mail_patch] subdirectory.  If you have no access to FTP, use one of
the mail-ftp gateways mentioned in the info-vax faq list.
