The Question is: My software team is working on an application, written in VAX FORTRAN which accesses a very large DBMS database. We are presently working on bug fixes, which entails several engineers making code changes, compiling and linking different sections of code, and running and testing the application. Many of these functions are taking place at the same time on the same AL PHA 1200 system. Up until recently, this has not been a problem, we could build (compile and link) a section of code at the same time as someone else was running the application to test a recent fix. Now, however, whenever we try to build, and we compile with the FDML pre-processor option, and the application is running, we get FDML errors. The errors are specificaly due to the FDML INVOKE command. The INVOKE command is called with several arguments, one of which is the database schema or subschema referenced. The errors we get show that the arguments to this command are being read incorrectly. (ie. if we reference a schema named "This_schema", the invoke command reports that it cannot find a schema named "is_schema ". The argument is being shifted when read. Again, we do not get this problem if we build when the application is not running, only when we build and run at the same time. The only thing that has changed recently is file ownership and permissions. All of the source files, application executables, and DB files used to be owned by system. They have been changed to be owned by the account which runs the application. But even g iving the developers and the application account the BYPASS privilege does not solve the problem. Any ideas? The Answer is : Please contact Oracle, the folks that support FDML and DBMS products.
