ABS GALAXY STOPCODES IN OPR
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
When an indirect file is too big to fit in  the  parsing  buffer,
OPR  dies  with  an ABS (GALAXY) stopcode.  This can be confusing
when the OPR command "TAKE @" is  the  command  that  was  typed.
What  happened was that since the filename was missing, a default
filename was used (usually SYS:SYSTEM.CMD) and the file  was  big
enough  to overflow the the buffer.  However, SYS:SYSTEM.CMD is a
"take" file, not an indirect file (there is  a  difference),  and
should never have been used.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Don't allow  FILIN  to  default  filenames  for  indirect  files.
Instead  of  giving  an  ABS, just type an error message when the
indirect file is too big to fit in the parsing buffer.

[SYMPTOM]
  
When OPR is started by a MIC file, it keeps going into  TI  state
waiting  for  MIC  to feed it input even when MIC is no longer in
control of the job.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
K%INIT in GLXKBD checks to see if MIC is in control  of  the  job
and  sets  a flag if so.  However,  no checking is done to see if
MIC ever releases the job.
  
  
[CURE]
  
In GLXKBD, the K%INIT routine, instead of setting BATFLG negative
when  MIC  is  controlling  the job (the same as for a real batch
job), set BATFLG positive.  At BIN.1 in GLXKBD, check to  see  if
BATFLG  is  positive  and  if  so,  do a TRMOP.  UUO to determine
whether MIC is still controlling.  If MIC is still in control, go
do  the  INCHWR UUO and block for a character (go into TI state),
otherwise zero BATFLG indicating MIC no  longer  in  control  and
then  go  hibernate, waking on IPCF receives and character input.
This does NOT completely fix the problems of OPR under  MIC,  but
it's the best that can be done given MIC's support status.

SNDMSG always  sends  packets  of  510  words  to  [SYSTEM]GOPHER
regardless  of  actual  message size.  This leads to monitor free
core being used needlessly.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
Code in SNDMSG uses PAGSIZ-2 as packet size for all  messages  to
[SYSTEM]GOPHER.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Use actual message length as packet size.

[SYMPTOM]
  
XCMDEV in GLXSCN will successfully parse a  "null"  device  name.
For  example,  OPR  will  parse the command "RECOGNIZE :" without
error - QUASAR promptly dies with a QBI stopcode.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
The reason why this hasn't been noticed before is  that  not  too
many  people will type just a ":" and expect it to be parsed as a
device name.  Also, if the  device  field  being  parsed  is  not
"parse only", a DEVCHR UUO is done to make sure what was typed is
a valid device.  If "parse only" is set  for  the  field,  XCMDEV
will  only  make  sure the ":" is typed if "ignore suffix" is not
set for the field.  If "parse only" and "ignore suffix"  are  set
for  the  field to be parsed, "null" (nothing in the atom buffer)
will parse successfully.  In the above example, the device  field
of the RECOGNIZE command is set to "parse only".
  
  
[CURE]
  
In XCMDEV, before checking for "parse only" or  "ignore  suffix",
check  to  make sure that the first character of the field in the
atom buffer is not null (zero).

[SYMPTOM]
  
If NUL is the file structure,  then OPNCOM will  return a zero in
the  FD  block  built by SETFD.  This will lead to QUASAR CRL and
RRF stopcodes when a batch job has NUL as the logfile  structure.
This  bug may also result in other random and interesting results
when using GLXLIB to open files with NUL as the structure.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
In OPNCOM the FILOP.  uuo returns a 0 in the path block when  the
structure  is NUL.  This caused the SETFD routine to create an FD
block with 0 as the structure name.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Add code at OPNC.2 to prepare for a 0 returned by the FILOP.  uuo
by  writing  the  structure name to the path output buffer before
performing the uuo.  The FILOP.  uuo will write over this word if
it  is  successful and the path has a structure, it will not zero
the word if we return true  and  the  path  does  not  contain  a
structure.  This is only of interest in the case of the structure
being NUL.

[Source After Edit]     %1   (001172)
[SYMPTOM]

After GLXFIL EDIT 107 we could not rename from an SFD to  an  SFD
and did not release channels correctly, leading to %ERDNA returns
from all FILOP and "open" type UUOs after 64 calls to F%REN.


[DIAGNOSIS]

The LOOKUP/ENTER block .RBPPN word was overwritten by  the  first
FILOP,  and  this  caused the second FILOP to fail for SFD to SFD
renames, and we don't release the  channel  associated  with  the
FILOP added in GLXFIL edit 106.


[CURE]

After the attributes have been copied from the LOOKUP/ENTER block
to  the  RENAME  block  we  must restore the LOOKUP/ENTER block's
.RBPPN word, and to clean up the channel problem we must add code
to release the channel after the LOOKUP.

[SYMPTOM]
  
QUASAR does not send an ACK to a user, if  requested,  using
QUEUE.   UUO  to  DISMOUNT  a structure or MOUNT a structure
that is not contained in the system catalogue.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
User  QUEUE.  UUO  requests   are  delivered  to  QUASAR  by
the [SYSTEM]GOPHER. The logic in QUASAR that determined what
ACKs should be sent to [SYSTEM]GOPHER was insufficient.  The
only  ACK  that the [SYSTEM]GOPHER doesn't need to return to
the QUEUE.  UUO user is the "mount request queued" ACK text.
This  is  because,  normally,  a  MOUNT  command  has 2 ACKs
returned - the "mount request queued" ACK and the ACK saying
if the structure was mounted or not.  QUEUE.  UUO users only
get 1 ACK, so we only want to send the important  one.   For
DISMOUNTs, the code never checked if user was waiting for an
ACK.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Remove the checks for "GOPHER" requests in USRNOT.  Make the
"GOPHER"  check  in  USRACK  - don't send the "mount request
queued"  text  ACK  if  a  "GOPHER"  mount   request.    For
DISMOUNTs,  make  sure the "waiting for ACK" bit gets set if
user is waiting.

[Source After Edit]     %4   (001173)
[SYMPTOM]
  
  
MOUNT does not know which response from QUASAR is associated
with  which  mount request when more than 1 mount request is
outstanding.  Another problem is that  a  user  can  specify
/NOTIFY  for  one  mount  request  and  issue  another mount
request  without  /NOTIFY  before  the  first   request   is
fulfilled  and  no  notification  will  occur when the first
request is fulfilled.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
QUASAR uses one MDR for each user.  Each  mount  request  is
associated  with the same MDR.  ACK codes, notify flags, and
sender's PID are  stored  in  the  MDR.   These  fields  get
written  with  each  mount request.  On a new mount request,
any pending request with specific data in these  fields  are
overwritten  with new request's data.  QUASAR uses this "ACK
data" when deciding whether or not  to  notify  user.   This
"ACK  data" may not reflect what the user specified when the
mount request was made.  Simply having  MOUNT  send  an  ACK
code  in  a  mount  request  and  look  for  it  in QUASAR's
responses will not fix all cases because  the  notify  flags
are  also  overwritten  by a subsequent mount request by the
same user.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Make entries in VSL for ACK code, PID and flags.   When  VSL
is  linked  to  MDR, copy these fields from MDR and indicate
that data has been copied to VSL.  Use the data in VSL  when
responding  (ACKing) the requestor unless the data in MDR is
valid (MOUNT /WAIT is this special case).  Change  MOUNT  to
generate  a  semi-unique  ACK code and send it in message to
QUASAR.  MOUNT will now know which message it is waiting for
since  each  time  MOUNT is run a different ACK code will be
generated.  This problem will  be  a  temporary  restriction
until  QUASAR  edit  1173 and MOUNT edit 55 are released via
Autopatch.  The code changes required  are  large  and  they
depend on other edits.

QUASAR NBM stopcodes.  Scenario:  User issues a mount request for
a  structure FOO that is not currently mounted.  STRLST says that
FOO is a RP04 but when the pack is spun up it's really  an  RP06.
QUASAR  notices  the  difference, tells the operator, updates his
internal catalogue , etc.  and continues merrily along until  the
user dismounts the structure - QUASAR dies.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
The code in D$CCAT that handles this situation contained a couple
mistakes.  It detected the fact that FOO(RP04) and FOO(RP06) were
different resources  and that it  should  not  let  FOO(RP06)  be
mounted   (and   catalog   updated)   if  FOO(RP04)  has  pending
allocations.   If  it  does,  the   resulting   counts   in   the
corresponding  'B'  and  'C' matrices are incorrect.  The code to
check the number of allocations is wrong - SKIPE should be  SKIPN
- among other things.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Fix the code in D$CCAT to only allow conflicting entries  in  the
internal  catalog to  be  updated  if  and  only  if there are no
pending allocations for the resource corresponding to the catalog
entry  to  be deleted.  Don't  allow  a  disk  to  be  mounted if
anything  except  the owner PPN differs  between the old and  new
entry  and  the  old  entry  has pending allocations.  QUASAR can
not determine which resource the user actually wants.

[Diagnosis]
This is an unexpected side effect of QUASAR edit 1173. Edit 1173
copies this information (and other) from the MDR to the VSL. All the code
now uses the VSL for this information. However, the request queue type
is stored in the MDR after edit 1173 copied the information to the VSL.
  
[Cure]
Make sure the request queue type is stored in the VSL. At BMDR.1 add
code to store the request type in .VSRFL.

Three problems;  1) LOGIN does not accept the /LOCATE SIXBIT node

In QUENCH convert the node name to number if possible, in  QUASAR
convert  the  node  name to number as soon as possible, and don't
schedule the batch job until we have a node  number.   The  LOGIN
change  requires documenting the LOCATE switch and the QUENCH and
QUASAR changes do not require  a  LOGIN  change  to  resolve  the

[SYMPTOM]
  
A stopped printer may seem to continue by  itself.   An  operator
can issue a STOP PRINTER command and receive an ack that says the
printer is stopped, but the printer starts printing again on  the
next schedulable print request for that printer.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
When QUASAR receives a STOP request,  he  checks  in  the  object
block  of  the  device  to see if it is currently active.  If the
device is  active,  QUASAR  forwards  the  STOP  request  to  the
spooler.   In  this  case,  QUASAR  does  NOT  mark the device as
stopped in its object block, he waits for the spooler to  send  a
status update.  If the timing is right, QUASAR can forward a STOP
request to a spooler at the same time the  spooler  is  finishing
(releasing)  the  current request.  The spooler receives the STOP
request, says the device is stopped, but  never  sends  a  status
update  to  QUASAR  because the device is no longer active.  (The
STOP request was received after the release was done).  QUASAR is
never  told  the  device is stopped, so he happily starts another
request for the device when one is available.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Always mark the device as stopped on a STOP request regardless of
whether  the device is active or not.  QUASAR knows how to handle
an object status of "stopped+active".

[Symptom]
QUASAR could be smarter, PULSAR confused. When DISMOUNT /REMOVing
a structure via OPR and PULSAR needs an operator response to
continue (front-end file system on pack, etc), QUASAR does not
use what he knows to help out an operator or PULSAR. Subsequent
commands to MOUNT, RECOGNIZE , or DISMOUNT the structure, while
the WTOR from PULSAR is still pending, give erroneous acks or
forwards more work to PULSAR which he sometimes doesn't handle
gracefully (like ?Illegal UUOing at PC 000001).
  
[Diagnosis]
QUASAR knows the structure in question is to be or is in the process
of being dismounted but just doesn't say so when he should.
  
[Cure]
Teach QUASAR to be more explicit when he can. Add text where
appropriate in acks concerning structure dismounts, etc., when
the structure in question is dismounting.

[SYMPTOM]
  
QUASAR deletes a spooler from its  database  when  he  shouldn't.
"SHOW  STATUS"  command may show "No Processor" when really there
is one.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
In QUASAR's IPCF message resend code, if a resend  of  a  message
fails  with  "no  such PID", QUASAR takes the PID of the intended
receiver and deletes the corresponding Processor Status Block  if
one  exists.  Trouble is, QUASAR is getting the PID with which he
makes this check from the wrong place.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Get the PID from the resend arg block, not from G$SAB.

[SYMPTOM]
  
When running on a non-networking monitor, spoolers will  not
be  scheduled  to  run after QUASAR edit 1142 or before edit
1142 the scheduling of spoolers will stop when a user queues
a request with a /DESTINATION switch.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
Two problems:
  
     1.  The node UUO fails and we assume the  node  is  off
         line.   This  problem was not seen before edit 1142
         because we crocked it so the lowest  numbered  node
         in the database could never go off line.
  
     2.  We are easily confused by a  multiplicity  of  zero
         numbered  nodes,  and  will  assume  the  LOCAL  or
         CENTRAL node is offline.
  
  
  
[CURE]
  
The code required to resolve this problem was shipped in the
IBMCOM  beware  file and requires an additional QSRNET edit.
This change is required to identify  the  LOCAL  or  CENTRAL
node  correctly so we do not set it offline.  The changes to
QSRSCH are only required if QUASAR edit 1201  is  installed.
This  change  is  required  so  we  schedule  jobs that were
submitted with a /DESTINATION switch correctly.

[SYMPTOM]

After edit 1206 ANF network line printers will not start.


[DIAGNOSIS]

The ANF node is matching the printer start message node name with
it's node name and we are not providing it.


[CURE]

The orginal code change went a little  too  far,  we  should  not
store  the number node value if it is zero and should if it isn't
zero because it must be a node name.

[SYMPTOM]

Problem with hung tape drives.  After edit 1151 we did not  honor
the AVR bit and still send the recognize message to PULSAR.


[DIAGNOSIS]

The problem is seen when an OPR SET TAPE MTAn:  AVAILABLE command
is  done  and  the  tape drive has a degaussed tape mounted.  The
problem  is  caused  by  QUASAR  turning  on   automatic   volume
recognition  and  PULSAR  attempting  to read a tape label.  Edit
1151 was the right idea, not setting the AVR bit, however we  did
not check the bit before we sent a recognize message to PULSAR.


[CURE]

Do not turn on automatic volume recognition when setting  a  tape
drive  available  and be sure to honor the AVR bit when sending a
recognize message to PULSAR.

[SYMPTOM]
  
QMANGR fails to correctly handle the /OUTPUT:  switch.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
QMANGR is not passing QUASAR the switch value, because in  QMANGR
a test at CRE.7B is reversed.
  
  
[CURE]
  
In QMANGR fix the test.

[SYMPTOM]
  
The /OUTPUT:  switch is badly  broken;   the  GALGEN  default  is
ignored and the incorrect value may be passed to QUASAR.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
QUENCH uses the incorrect symbols confusing OUTPLOG and INPLOG.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Use the correct symbols in QUENCH.

[SYMPTOM]
  
Operator logged in as [1,2] has the SUBMIT on behalf of fail when
ERSATZ  or  PATHOLOGICAL  devices are used.  A command would look
like this "SUBMIT [10,10]=CTL:FOO,NUL:"
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
QUENCH fails to default the  PPN  correctly  when  an  ERSATZ  or
PATHOLOGICAL device is used for the input file.
  
  
[CURE]
  
Check the value of the implied PPN bit (PT.IPP), if set on do not
set the PPN and clear any path given since the device is going to
ignore it.

[SYMPTOM]
  
Batch  jobs  fail  to  LOGIN.   The  job  was  SUBMITed  with   a
/DESTINATION:   SIXBIT node name switch and LOGIN does not accept
the SIXBIT argument.
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
Three problems;  1) LOGIN does not accept the /LOCATE SIXBIT node
name  switch,  2) we should not be scheduling the BATCH job until
we have a node number, and 3) we should be converting the  SIXBIT
node name to OCTAL node number as soon as possible.
  
  
[CURE]
  
In QUENCH convert the node name to number if possible, in  QUASAR
convert  the  node  name to number as soon as possible, and don't
schedule the batch job until we have a node  number.   The  LOGIN
change  requires documenting the LOCATE switch and the QUENCH and
QUASAR changes do not require  a  LOGIN  change  to  resolve  the
problem.
