Janet, Your first option simply replaces the checkpoint file. This will not solve the problem and, unless another checkpoint occurs, will result, after the next reboot, in an empty CP. This is not a good idea. Your second option, deletes some of the files used by CSA to keep track of the compounds in the station. Again, this will not correct the problem, but would allow odd errors like two compounds with the same name to occur in the system. Your third piece of advice - calling TAC - is the best solution. Ken, The -1000 is an IPC communication error - you can see the code in /usr/include/fox/ipc.h. I can't access a system right now to look at it, but basically it is a generic IPC error. My advice - call TAC.

If they are different sizes, copy the DB<CP letterbug>..init to DB<CP letterbug>..UC. Another option, which will likely force you to reboot and reload the controls is listed below: On the AW, change directory to /opt/fox/csa and delete the following files: CMPD_INDEX.datCMPD_INDEX.idxSTN_INDEX.idxSTN_INDEX.dat Additionally, remove the <SCP Letterbug ID> directory. However, I would call the help desk before performing any of these procedures.

We have four batch trains, and finding a time when all of them are idle usually only occurs on major holidays. So... I did a little research and apparently the CP is locked.
