abstract

Previous versions of MONITOR.NLM could cause a "General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) running process Monitor Background process" error on the server.

installation

NOTE: unload MONITOR at the console

1) Flag MONITOR.NLM as N (Normal) in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

2) Rename the existing copy of MONITOR.NLM to MONITOR.OLD for backup purposes.

3) Copy this new version of MONITOR.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

4) Flag the new copy of MONITOR.NLM back to SRO (Sharable Read Only).

5) Type LOAD MONITOR at the console.

symptoms

In previous versions of MONITOR if an application such as the PServer was unloaded remotely via PCONSOLE it would cause the console to unlock.

These previous versions could cause a "General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) running process Monitor Background process" error on the server. This would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded for extended periods of time (30 days or so) and was caused by resource contention between the foreground and background processes of MONITOR. This version supercedes previous versions and includes all such fixes.

solutions

This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.68) (PTF)(930823) includes a fix to keep the console locked in MONITOR under all conditions.
