- Your service description message (by default, the value of the SYS$ANNOUNCE
- logical name) needs to be shorter than 64 charaters as documented in the
- attached extract from one of our system logs.
- ==============================================================================
- The FNDCD cluster has had a problem for awhile now where the Vistas and Emulex
- terminal servers would not recognize the FNDCD and FNDCD_ALL services.
-
- The problem was tracked to our site$manager:batch_startup.com file. I found
- that if I moved the location of the lat startup inside this file to after
- the line that defined SYS$ANNOUNCE, the services would be recognized.
-
- But that didn't make sense to me- SYS$ANNOUNCE was already defined in our
- SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file.
-
- Thanks to Keith Chadwick for pointing me to note 177.7 of the DSNlink
- conference. I qoute from the note:
-
- "You will note from your example that the identification string here has
- been truncated to 64 characters. The LATCP command parser does not pick
- up the fact that lexical translations or text file substitutions may
- expand the identification string beyond the 64 character limit."
-
- and a little later on in the note:
-
- "Please, let us know if this still persists after having system
- adminstrators on your network cut down their ident. strings
- to 64 characters or less."
-
- Our SYSTARTUP_V5.COM defined SYS$ANNOUNCE with a string over 64 character
- long. I restored BATCH_STARTUP.COM to its original and modified the
- SYS$ANNOUNCE string in SYSTARTUP_V5.COM to less than 64 characters. Viola it
- works!
