SYSERR.DOC -- Changes from V12(763) to V14(1267)
July 1979
1.0 SUMMARY
SYSERR is a program used to list the contents of the system error
file. It is the report generating portion of the DECSYSTEM-20 Error
Detection, Recover, and Reporting Package.
SYSERR Version 14(1267) runs on TOPS20 Version 4.
SYSERR uses HELPER, SCAN, and the compatability package.
Documentation on how to run SYSERR and descriptions of report formats
may be found in the TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 SYSERR Manual (AA-D533A-TK).
2.0 EXTERNAL CHANGES
This release of the SYSERR package includes the following new
functions:
1. FIX KLERR REPORTS ( [] FIELD VALUES & VMA VALUE )
FORCE 3 DIGIT DRAM ADDRESS
2. NEW OPERATOR LOG ENTRY
3. MAKE S/N IN PAGE HEADER CHANGE WITH NEW S/N IN ENTRY
4. FIXED S-BUS FUNCTIONS TO REPORT DMA CORRECTLY
5. ADDED /OCTAL SWITCH FOR DEBUGGING
6. ADD PROGRAM NAME STRING TO NETWORK REPORTS (202 & 203)
7. ADD PROGRAM STRING OUTPUT TO NETWORK REPORTS
8. FIX BIT TRANSLATIONS FOR TU45
9. NEW SUMMARIES - BUGXXX BREAKOUT, CHANNEL & DEVICE ERROR TOTALS
10. ADD CHECK11 REPORT (222)
11. ADD CONFIGURATION STATUS CHANGE ENTRY (115)
12. CHECK FOR ILLEGAL DIGITS IN BCD S/N - TYPE ? INSTEAD
13. ADD USER NAME TO BRIEF MASBUSS ENTRY
14. ADD DH11 STATUS REGISTER TO DH11 ENTRY (130-3)
15. FIX /SEQ FOR FRONT END ENTRIES
SYR14.DOC Page 3
16. FIX RESYNC CODE TO HANDLE LARGE ENTRIES - STOPS SYSERR FROM DYING
17. MAKE WARNING MESSAGES COME OUT AT THE RIGHT TIME
18. FIX KS-10 CONI-APR TRANSLATION FOR 8080 INTERRUPT
19. ADD RECOGNITION OF TU77 DEVICE TYPE
20. OUTPUT *** INSTEAD OF 999 FOR FIELD OVERFLOW IN SUMMARIES
3.0 KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES
There is a problem in the monitor with the DX20 pointer to sub
tables being blank. This is due to the SYSERR buffer space being
full. The problem will be fixed in version 4 of the Monitor.
There is also a problem with the /REMOTE switch. When using
/REMOTE and trying to get KLERR entries to transfer there is
a problem if you use the /SEQ: switch. The sequence number given
by the listing of the KLERR entry (either BRIEF or regular) is
the sequence number of thethe last packet for that entry. The
KLERR entry is made up of either 5 or 9 actual entries which
are used to produce the one entry for printout. The only way
to get around this present restriction is to use the /SEQ:
switch and ask for an entry aprox 10 before the seq number of
the KLERR entry and the next 10. This way you will get a few extra
entries but you are sure of getting all the KLERR entries.
