   Ciao a tutti,

   Following 4 e-mail messages from DEAMON that MACRO is stopped,
I took action as follows:
- Checking VXMACA::$1$DIA0:[MACRORUN.LOG]ALARM.LOG;8130
  (Created: 12-JAN-2000 16:28:55.75
   Revised: 13-JAN-2000 18:11:35.52)
  Found the following error messages
  (A) Many "ALM>Error in BRKTHRU (Device): 2312"
           "ALM>Error in BRKTHRU (Device): 0 "
      messages
  (B) Last 10 lines contained:
      "%PROCESS_X_W-NOTALM, Network abnormal condition"
      "%SYSTEM-?-BADATTRIB, bad attribute control list"
  The above hinted a software error that could be recovered from the
ext. labs.
- Here is what followed (add to the LOG, signed IoK):
  19:16 Trying to restart MACRO *without* Global Initialization
        After DAS INITIALIZATION, got
        "Error in linking with chn #1"
        "remote node is not currently reachable"
        "Error in reading/writing on the network"
  19:18 Trying to restart MACRO *with* Global Initialization
        After DAS INITIALIZATION, got (the same) errors:
        "Error in linking with chn #1"
        "remote node is not currently reachable"
        "Error in reading/writing on the network"
  19:22 Trying to restart PHRASE *only* *without* Global Initialization
        (uVAX#4,#5,#6)
        DAS INITIALIZATION went OK; after HARD INIT
        got message regarding "ACK missing from chn. #3"
                              "message number 00000000"
  19:23 Run 18915 started, PHRASE-only on SM1,2,3,4,5,6
        Performing SPY DUMP, saw events from all 3 PHRASE uVAXs
  19:35 After 12 min., ACQ TRIG got trig. from all 3 uVAXs;
        rate seems OK (0.298Hz)

A presto,

Ioannis
