abb-link & decwindows is not running after upgradetion.

[kuntal.mondalgmail.com]

I have alphastation 200 and running openvms 7.1. Now I have done the updradetion of that system and switched over in ds20E server and openvms version is 7.3-1 after completion of upgradetion one application software abb-link is not running. When i want to start that application error messege "illegal image section descriptor" is comming. I have installed encryption software,still the result is same.
after upgradetion another problem is decwindows is not starting during system boot. after booting it is comming into the text mode and i have to start decwindows manually. then GUI is comming.
Please help me out for these two problems asap.

Thanks.

"illegal image section descriptor" suggests an executable image file is corrupt.

Are there any errors messages during the system startup about DECwindows.

Kuntal,

this sound suprisingly similar to the problem reported in the following thread:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1074707

and also in comp.os.vms

http://groups.google.de/group/comp.os.vms/browse_frm/thread/ab0b0f96262e6299/a3da3bc0a4b0e99b?lnk=st&q=image+section&rnum=3&hl=de#a3da3bc0a4b0e99b

Please follow the advice given in those threads and don't cross-post without indication.

Volker.

To the second problem, DECWindow (server) not starting:
Has the WINDOW_SYSTEM parameter been lost eventually ?
Does "sysman param show window_system" show a 1 ?

If yes, then is there any message at the console (after the Startup process termination) ?

Is a sys$manager:DECW$server*error.log file created (at the failed startup, i.e. a decw$server*error.log;-1 after You did decw$satrtup manually).

Finally there could be a license problem:
usually (?) DECW is licensed within a net-app-sup* license, but eventually it's different in Your case.
Do a "license list/full" and watch for licenses with release and/or termination dates expired.
