To see the open data sets, 1) Start foxtst 2) Enter the 900 command 3) Enter the 13 command - dstbl 4) Enter 1 at the 'begin set [ 3 ]:' prompt You will see a list of open data sets that looks like this: set dsi nent ctyp cqi setname --- --- ---- ---- --- ---- 1 1 17 1 0 All_Opened_Read_Objects 2 12001 8 2 0 All_Opened_Write_Objects 3 24001 8 4 0 1AW51E:RDBK:W AIS W:000 You can see the that on my machine I had three lists open. The first two are always open and hold all the points (R-only in data set 1; RW in data set 2). Does this help?

I believe the max nr of datasets can be 3000, (currently it's set at 100) any idea how I can find out how many datasets are in use? I've used foxspy, but I can't seem to find the number of datasets.... Thanks & rgds, Dirk Pauwels - DCS/MOC coordinator Engineering dept.

Check your configuration and see if you can increase the number of sets that can be opened, that will probably solve your problem.

(On a mesh system, but we're not using the windows batchsuite, we kept it on a unix box) We're experiencing scopen errors when we try to restart BatchSuite after an exit and shutdown. When the IA driver is being started, the scopen error appears... IADriver:IADriver, scopen, AIS.c 409 (error: 22), 1 IADriver:IADriver, ERROR: Open set failed (AIS scopen: reterr=4), , 1 The only sollution is either rebooting the AW51 E box, which is usually not possible, or restarting the foxapi, which is possible but a nuissance cause then I have to stop and restart PI.... Has anyone experienced this before and how did you solve it? I expect a reboot of the AW will solve the (synch ?? ) problem for some time, but this is not my preferred sollution... I ran foxspy and checked the log files but cannot find any reason why Batchsuite would not recognize the foxapi being online Thanks & rgds, Dirk Pauwels - DCS/MOC coordinator Engineering dept.
