Modparams Duplicate values

matthew robey — Sun, 19 Dec 2004 19:29:32 GMT

Hello All,

After running Autogen, I get several messages in Agen$params.report stating:

** Note ** - Multiple MIN values found for MIN_GBLPAGES.
Using MODPARAMS value (2000000) which is superseding VMS value (150000)

and similar messages for other parameters.

There is only one entry in Modparams.dat, how do I get rid of these messages ?

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

I don't think you can easily get rid of them. There's a set of values provided by the OS - the "VMS" ones. Architecturally there are several places they can come from, but in practice, you're probably seeing the values defined in SYS$SYSTEM:CLU$PARAMS.DAT.

They're a way of defining minimum values, rather then relying on static SYSGEN defaults (or a way for engineering to easily override the defaults)

Or, send me your access number, and I'll log a case for an enhancement request to AUTOGEN...
The messages are of the form:

Using value () which is superseding value ()

OLD and NEW can each be "MODPARAMS" or "VMS". Cases to consider:

1) VMS & VMS - should never happen, would indicate there are duplicates in the VMS supplied values

2) MODPARAMS & VMS - can probably be ignored. This means you're overriding the VMS value.

3) VMS & MODPARAMS - this means VMS is overriding your MODPARAMS value. You can eliminate the message by removing your MODPARAMS setting.

4) MODPARAMS & MODPARAMS - means you have two or more settings in your MODPARAMS. Reduce them to one.

If the messages really bug you, cases 1 & 2 can be surpressed by editing AUTOGEN.COM

Search for the string "which is superseding" and change the conditional from:

"$ if user_params then"

to

"$ if user_params .AND. old_source.NES."VMS" then"

(this occurs in two places). Of course, modifying AUTOGEN.COM is unsupported and not recommended...

Hi Matt,

another thing can be, that there are several "agen$include_params " entries in your modparams.
And maybe in these files are the duplicate entries as in your modparams!?

Hope this helps!
Bye Kuddel

Hi,

yes I do have an AGEN$INCLUDE for the cluster common parameters, however I have check this, and there are no duplicates.
