File: FoxAPI
Release: 4.3/6.1
Date: Apr. 9, 1999
Subject: Solaris FoxAPI V4.2 Issues
Source: TAC
Problem: FoxAPI V4.2 will not start or needs to be restarted to work properly.
Workaround: FoxAPI V4.2 startup is incorporated into /usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat
therefore any
startups in /etc/fox/rc.foxapps or /etc/fox/user_apps.dat must be removed.
Ensure that the FOXAPI entry in /usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat is executed AFTER
ACSA. FoxAPI startup is dependent on the running of CSA. So it must be listed
AFTER CSA and BEFORE any FoxAPI Dependant applications. (CAR Submitted)
If FoxAPI was added to SysDEF configuration it will add ADDE6 to
/usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat which will also start up FoxAPI again. Remove ADDE6
entry if FOXAPI already exists. (CAR Submitted)
If you are not using FoxExplorer, remove /opt/fox/ais/bin/blk_dscr line from
aisstart and kill the blk_dscr process if running. (CAR Submitted)
If using opensets you will get the message "open_action not found", you can
touch open_action and chmod 777 open_action to avoid the message.
Creating the file use.dat and adding stations, which communicate to FoxAPI, will
avoid the warning messages "Station Not Found" at startup and will speed up the
start-up of FoxAPI.
NOTE: Contents of /opt/fox/ais/bin will be copied to /opt/fox/ais/bin_ais when
installing QF990084.
