Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
Any other ideas on what is causing the error or a remedy?

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
Watch quota usage of the process that is creating processes to see which quota. You could use SHOW_QUOTA.COM available from
http://dcl.openvms.org/stories.php?story=03/06/03/0022504
and other places or use AMDS or Availability Manager.

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
SS$_EXQUOTA may be returned if:
At least one of the following conditions is true:
- The process has exceeded its quota for the creation of subprocesses.
- A quota value specified for the creation of a subprocess exceeds the creating process's corresponding quota.
- The quota is deductible and the remaining quota for the creating process would be less than the minimum.
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82FINAL/4527/4527pro_026.html
The OpenVMS documentation is generally quite good at describing possible reasons for returning an error status.
As a first guess, I would check PGFLQUOTA...

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
When if fails, does SDA show a quota exhausted?

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
Wim,
There are process quota specific error messages for all quotas, and have been for several years. BUT engineering hasn't been back over all the ancient code paths to "fix" them. $CREPRC is obviously very, very old. Would you rather engineering spend resources polishing ancient history (and potentially breaking very fundamental things), fixing things that people report as broken, or building new things?
Note the customer is running a decade old version of OpenVMS, so it's feasible (but I think unlikely) that this code path HAS been updated...

I choose that they finish the old stuff first. How many people already lost time because of those bad messages. I did. In the eighties !

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
If we determine PGFLQUOTA increases over time, does it imply a memory leak?
Thanks!

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
if a program only uses malloc to allocate data and never returns it via free, once it's done processing that data, I would call this a 'memory leak'.
You can use ACCOUNTING to look at previous instances of the program aborting. Check the Peak page file: value in those previous accounting records. If the values are all near or equal to PGFLQUOTA, you can be sure, that there is a memory leak. Just double the value of PGFLQUOTA and your process may run twice as long. Make sure you have enough free pagefile space.

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
In that case we have lots of memory leaks over here.
E.g. Sybase server, lots of programs that malloc as the cache needs to be extented (the ING.be bank position is kept in memory), etc.
So, it depends on the program.

Re: Process Quota Exceeded during sys$creprc call
next time you start this process, consider to use SET PROC/DUMP or RUN/DUMP. This should create a process dump (imagename.DMP) on a fatal error. You could then ANAL/PROC that dump - maybe to find out, what kind of data is being stored in process memory (typically at high end of P0 space for a memory leak, as the address space will expand continously).
