Issues with queues on SMTP

[Volker Halle]

Use $ TCPIP SHOW VERS/ALL and check the versions of TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR and TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT.

It looks like you may have a old/wrong version of either one of those files. Any versions of those file in SYS$SPECIFIC: ?

Volker.

[Hakan Zanderau ( Anders]

I was away a couple of hours teaching Curling to local highschool students.

I agree with Steven and Volker......

Check the versions of

SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT.EXE
SYS$LIBRARY:TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE

and most important....HOW did this problem start ?

Normally you don't run TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT.EXE manually, but if you do.

$ MCR TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT
%SYSTEM-F-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name
$

Or, around here:

ALP $ MCR TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT
Tried to insert in uninitialized list.
Tried to insert in uninitialized list.
Tried to insert in uninitialized list.
[... no end in sight ...]

But it's still not complaining about
incompatible run-time stuff.

(Good thing they fixed that program.)

No idea how it started - I was asked to investigate it not working by some programmers in my parent company in Canada - I am based in the Gold Coast Australia

I will instruct them to apply the latest ECO for the rev of TCPIP and advise what happens in due course - thanks for all the help - you guys are awesome !

[Volker Halle]

Please try to isolate the problem first instead of just 'applying patches' ...

If - for example - there is a bad file in SYS$SPECIFIC; you won't solve that problem with installing a patch.

$ TCPIP SHOW VERS/ALL will list the version and link date of all TCPIP images, just find the data for TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR and TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT and post it here.

Also do a DIR SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT/DATE and SYS$LIBRARY:TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR/DATE and provide that information as well.

We may be able to find out, if those 2 images match your TCPIP ECO level.

Volker.

[J Asson]

Sorry - I thought I had pasted the version info but see it did not stick - try again

The copy dated 11 Dec 2008 seems odd !

[Hakan Zanderau ( Anders]

It looks like you have a bogey in SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB].......

You have two versions of TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE. The file in SYS$SYSROOT has a date from 2008.

Try to rename SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE to something else and try to start SMTP again.

Hakan

[Volker Halle]

There is a version of TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] - it does NOT belong there and it's most likely the reason for your problem.

The data of the one in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] at least exactly matches the date of TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT

As a quick check, just rename the one in SYS$SPECIFIC and try MC TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT. If you don't get the %IMGACT-F-SYMVECMIS error, try to start SMTP again.

Volker.

[Volker Halle]

According to the TCPIP V5.4 ECO 2 release notes:

ECO D 5-APR-2004 Alpha

Problem...

Deliverables:

TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE V5.4-15D

THIS is the correct one, which matches your TCPIP$SMTP_SYMBIONT.EXE. Your bad TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR.EXE is V5.4-15 !
