Hello,

We have tried to install the DP5.5 in openVMS7.3-2 and we getting the following error.

%PCSI-E-EXESTAFAIL, product supplied EXECUTE START procedure failed
-CLI-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling
%PCSI-E-OPFAILED, operation failed

We use privilege user and binary FTP

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Ashraf El Gabry

Perhaps the installation creates a new DCL-verb and misses to activate it for the current process (SET COMMAND...).
Pls. logout and login again any try to call the startup routine for the product manually.

What TCP/IP stack are you using?
Data Protector assumes HP's TCP/IP Services is present and the start up procedure contains TCPIP commands.

This might be just a problem in the RUN procedure where the developer assumed DP was installed before and all its VERBs are available. And in this case DP was never installed before.

I would assume the product installed just fine. Try it out!

Hi Ashraf.

You can repeat the installation using the /TRACE qualifier of the PRODUCT INSTALL command. According to the help, this qualifier

"identifies DCL commands and command procedures that are run in a subprocess during the execution of the PRODUCT command. Any output from these commands is also displayed."

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Hi and Happy New Year,

We are using MultiNet V4.3 Rev A instead of UCX. As far as we understand from the OMNI$STARTUP.COM that it is using UCX command instead of the MultiNet stack. What is the equivalent commands for the MultiNet?

Best regards.

If you revealed what the commands are, you
might get more information back.

The following set of instruction will yield an equivalent service configuration to what Data Protector uses with UCX:
$ multinet configure/server
MultiNet Server Configuration Utility Vn.n

SERVER-CONFIG>add omni
[Adding new configuration entry for service "OMNI"]
