TT_ERR_PROCID

[Sameer S]

Hi all,

When a user tries to open "Applications" by clicking on the icon in front panel of CDE, it throws the following error:

"The request to service this action has failed for the following reason
TT_ERR_PROCID The process ID passed is not valid."

I have a NIS setup of HPUX 10.20 servers.I have tried to logon from a different server using the same user ID, but the error persists. So I guess this has nothing to do with server, but related to some of the settings, the user has made.
Has somebody faced a similar problem? What are the settings that can effect the CDE settings?

Which applications ?

Are users HOME dirs nfs mounted ?

check in /home/user/.dt/startlog & errorlogs and syslog.log ?

are all users affected ?

log out of cde
rm -R $HOME/.dt/
log back in
try starting the application again

ps if we are talking CDE's dtpad try from command line ;

dtpad -standAlone ?

What patch level wrt CDE are we talking here ?

Hi Alex,
Thanks a lot. I had tried modifying the .dt directory, had not worked. As per your suggestion, I deleted it. After that the problem is solved. The problem was with the .dt dir itself.

Hi Sameer,

That is a classic 10 point response if I've ever seen one.
Wouldn't you agree?

Yeah Jeff,
The solution is like:
Do it..It works!!Gung ho!!!
What I had done was copied .dt from working userlogin to problematic one. But...But...the permissions were root:sys for .dt. So when I deleted and restarted the session, things worked.
Good solution, must say!Thanks again Alex!!!
