YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT (CR #237)

When FileServ is running on Y2K-compliant operating systems, including systems with Y2K-compliant patches, FileServ is Y2K Option 1-compliant. This means that a year is designated as a four-digit number, for example, 2000. (FileServ has been Y2K-compliant since Version 3.5.)

Operating Issues

fileserv -t -y LEAVES UNWANTED PROCESSES RUNNING (CR #921)

Running fileserv -t-yunconditionally exits after the number of seconds specified in the sysparm value configured in the $FS_TERMTIMEOUT_VALUE parameter. After FileServ terminates, there may be unwanted processes still running. To check for these processes, type the following:

#ps -elf grep fs_

#ps -elf grep fsadm

Look for processes that should not be running, and determine which ones need to be terminated.

fsloglevel COMMAND (CR #829)

The fsloglevel command does not affect all log messages. A more reliable method for changing the logging level is to modify the FS_LOG_LEVEL variable in the $FS_HOME/sysparm/fs_sysparm file.
