We are again experiencing problems with NEWS on MIAVX1 and OCEAN. These problems are characterized by the error message "Display - Cannot access item text". These were the same problems that occurred on 2/7/94 and 2/14/94. After the problem on 2/14/94, we got a fairly good picture of what was happening. After analyzing the information we collected, we found that the problem dealt with NEWS running out of memory. Since the information we received from NEWS was not extremely detailed, we narrowed the cause of the problem down to approximately 6 different areas. These 6 areas can be summarized into 2 groups. 3 of the areas deal with the NEWS process itself running out of a memory resource and the other 3 areas deal with the system running out of a memory resource. We worked on the first 3 of these areas (the NEWS process) in the hopes that they were the cause of the problems. As you can see, they weren't. We will continue looking into the system parts of the problem and will formulate ways of tracking and fixing this problem. More information will follow in this newsgroup as it becomes available. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
