- Last night we moved our system and users from our old RA81's to our
- new RF73's, on our Vax 4000-200 under VMS v5.5. Everything went pretty
- smoothly, except for the *#$%^$ new queue system. For some reason, the
- queue system still insists on using the RA81 for two of the three queue
- files. The logical QMAN$MASTER is defined as SYS$COMMON, and indeed it
- is using the QMAN$MASTER.DAT file on the new RF73 system disk, but it is
- still insists on accessing the RA81 for the other two files:
-
- [SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$QUEUES;1
- [SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$JOURNAL;1
-
- No one at this site has documentation on the new 5.5 queue manager (we're
- an ESL site and the ESL people are unavailable at the moment, and probably
- couldn't help anyways). I haven't been able to find any other logicals
- that the queue manager might be using to point to these files, so I suspect
- that the location of these files must have been written into the QMAN$MASTER
- file. We probably shot ourselves in the foot during the 5.5 upgrade by
- specifying the location of the new queue files as "dub0:" rather than
- $disk1:. Digging through the on-line docs, I think we could maybe do it
- by stopping the queue manager, then using START/QUEUE/MANAGER/NEW_FILE=$DISK1
- to create new queue files, stopping the queue manager again, copying the old
- dub0: files to $disk1, and the restarting the queues, but since we are a
- critical production machine and really need the queues to be working, I'm
- nervous about trying this without knowing for sure that this will work.
- Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how do you fix it?
