RE: ScanMail PUPDATE Crashes

The PUPDATE crash issue is caused by too many down loaded files in thew 
smln/scanengine directory. Delete them (pattern files, spam files etc) 
manually and Eureka no more crashes.  We are performing  this deletion 
maintenance one a week since there are allot of downloads.
 
Also the SMLN/AU folders as well. The pattern files are down loaded there 
first before being moved to the data directory.

As far as issues with QNOTES Profile, ALLOBJ is a bad idea. We have it 
fine working with just USER. 

I am tesing the new hot fix  they gave ScanMail for Lotus Notes 2.6SP1 
AS400 hot fix -  Build 1584.
This fix is not on the Web site. you have to call support.

I am testing today on a few development servers. 

I will post the results.

subject: RE: Upgrading to Trend's 2.6

According to the readme for the hotfix:

Apply this hotfix only if you are working in conjunction with the Trend 
Micro's product support group on an issue: 

- Pupdate task crashes inside download process on AS400

- Pupdate task download failed because entries inside "server.ini" could 
not 
read properly

Also, it is supposed to correct any problems with the Active Update (this 
runs under pupdate anyway).

I don't have my QNOTES set to *ALLOBJ - here's an email I sent to trend on 

that:

I had already made QNOTES *SECOFR. From my own iSeries experience and 
comments of others in the iSeries community, TrendMicro has an extremely 
flawed implementation of IFS and iSeries security with this latest 
release.

Anyway, I also have previously added QSECOFR with all authority to IFS 
folders. This should not have to be since QSECOFR has *ALLOBJ special 
authority, but I did that per other instructions in technotes at your 
website.

For my IFS folder structure, QNOTES is the owner AND QSECOFR is listed as 
a profile with all access rights to ALL FILES in the entire directory 
structure from the root on down.

As stated earlier, I have already changed the QNOTES profile in the past 
to be *SECOFR against my better judgement. Before I grant that profile 
*ALLOBJ authority I will have to get you to conference me in a phone call 
with someone at Lotus support and they tell me that I should change that 
profile. This is an IBM/Lotus supplied profile and I don't want to change 
it any further. It isn't a best practice for iSeries programs to require 
that IBM user profiles be changed.

And after that e-mail I had to send this one:

This is not acceptable. I have applied this twice and I followed the 
procedure word for word on each occasion. A third apply is not going to 
magically make the product work.

They actually wanted me to apply the hotfix a third time because it 
"wasn't installed correctly". After that email someone finally called me 
who got me fixed.

subject: RE: Upgrading to Trend's 2.6

Regarding the need for the hotfix - this was needed to prevent random 
server crashes during pupdate execution. By random I mean going for days 
without any problems and then bam. Crash, restart, crash, restart, 
crash... stable, and then crash, restart, crash, restart, crash again. I 
finally had to take pupdate out of it's hourly schedule to eliminate it 
from running during business hours. Now all is well and pupdate runs every 

hour on the hour.

I also had numerous TMMSCAN tasks in the server tasks - my guess was that 
there was one for each time I used CFGSM during my initial install.

subject: RE: Upgrading to Trend's 2.6



The funny thing is, the problem's not in what you are thinking of as
'IFS'.  It's probably in this version of the IFS, (which is really a
traditional library/object):
Link /QSYS.LIB/TRENDMICRO.LIB/VSAPI.SRVPGM was removed.

I did not figure out what library originally contained the save file that
was downloaded and contained the two objects restored into VSAPIAS400.

Perhaps if I figure out how to crank up the job logging on PUPDATE I'll
crack that one for sure.  It's probably one of those DOMINO*  *JOBD's in
QUSRNOTES.  Currently they're set to:
Message logging:
  Level  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   4
  Severity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   10
  Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *NOLIST
Log CL program commands  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *NO
Perhaps some temporary tweaking...

Thanks y'all for your thorough explanations on the hot fix.  As per the
instructions I'll run without it until I start seeing errors.  Hey
IBM/Lotus lurkers, if I call in because of server crash, remind me of this
hotfix.  :-)

You are correct, it uses the jobd for the server's subsystem. I believe 
I've seen documentation on how to force certain jobs to use a different 
jobd, but that's been a while back and I can't find it offhand.

We are in the process of upgrading from an 820 to a 520.  We will be doing
a save entire system & then restoring onto our new machine.  What will we
have to do to get Domino onto our new machine along with all of our
databases?
