Damn, Russ is good!!!

I had just found this little jewel in the V6.0 Release Notes (I am at V6.4
but it was not in the V6.4 Release Notes) minutes before Russ' response:

FoxSelect Displays
When a new configuration containing new letterbug and PSAP address
assignments is installed, the .INI files (used by FoxSelect to cache its
PSAP addresses) should be deleted. Each instance of FoxSelect has the same
name as the FoxView that starts it. Each named instance of FoxSelect saves
its content into an initialization file named:
/opt/fox/wp/FoxSelect\FS<name>.INI
For each instance of FoxSelect, delete this file.

And it worked, the FoxSelect is now looking at the correct C:Bs for each CP.

Thanks again, Russ...

When was the last time you flushed the FoxSelect list

cd /opt/fox/wp/foxselect
remove the .ini files for each dm
reopen FoxSelect...select the CP in question to rebuild list

Russ,

Reference the old e-mail thread below...

I see a similar situation with FoxSelect at this plant but with a weird
twist on all of the AWs, except the CSA and CP host AW; it's the only one
working correctly.  Just 4 CPs and they show up in the FoxSelect list but...
CP1 has CP4 Compounds listed, CP2 and CP3 Compounds look OK (I guess?), but
cannot even open CP4.  I checked all of the files you referenced below
(/etc/wpcplns & cplns, /etc/fox/wpcplns & cplns) and they list the 4 CPs.
Just to make sure I copied each file from the host AW to a non-host AW and
no help.  Also, it takes 10-20 seconds to call up a list of the Blocks in a
Compound, and another 10-20 seconds to call up a Block Detail Display.

Any ideas?

Those listings come from files not CSA so different commits were used...or
someone manually edited the /etc/wpcplns file on each station

Subject: [foxboro] Different FoxSelect views from different AWs

Hi, There.

Have the following situation was hoping to resolve.

We have a small offline system consisting of 8 AWs that has not been used
for a long time.
Each AW is hosting a small number of CPs (FCP270s).

When launching a FoxSelect on each AW, one would see different set of CPs
available in FoxSelect (depending on which AW they launch it from).
Similar effect is observed when using ICC.

The possibilities we are currently speculating on are:
        1) different SysDefs were used to commit each AW.
        2) a CSA conflict is observed within the system (more than 1 active
CSA server).

The system is an IA 8.4 with WindowsXP and FCP270s.

What would you suggest to look at in order to detect and rectify the root
cause.

Any insight will be appreciated.

Regards,

Ilya Maizlin.
