Hello,
we are exploring Rdb for possible use within our organization.
One of the first problems I encountered was the following:
SQL> @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Error creating database filename
eurobanking:banking.rdb
-RDB-F-SYS_REQUEST, error from system services request
-RDMS-F-FILACCERR, error parsing file
SYSMGT:[RDM$RUJ]BANKING$1E333AA0G0BQOH3MQ29LS6PF6O.RUJ;
-COSI-I-NOTSYSCONCEAL, non-system concealed device name in filename
(Yes, I am following the example in the Comprehensive Guide by Lilian
Hobbs, Ian Smith and Ken England!)
This topic already came up in 1997 in comp.databases.rdb, but then the
cause seemed to be something else.
It appears that Rdb does not accept a /EXEC logical name in
LNM$SYSCLUSTER_TABLE as a valid system concealed device. When I copied
the logical name SYSMGT to the LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE, the problem was
solved.
I find this rather disturbing. In my opinion, (and I believe in the
general opinion of OpenVMS engineering), logical names in
LNM$SYSCLUSTER_TABLE are just as valid as logical names in
LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE. After all, both are elements in the LNM$SYSTEM search
list!
Our clusters are configured in such a way that all logical names that
are common to all cluster members are placed in cluster wide tables. It
would be a pity if we would need to copy the contents of the
clusterwide table to the system table of each node.
Thanks for any thoughts!
Regards,
Bart Zorn
