If you manage to crash MIM, it is because of bugs in various places, not because of overloading... RSX itself is normally stable as a rock. :-) And so is E11 (if I wasn't running the experimental 11/74 stuff...).

This procedure (a batch job), will acquire the latest database from MIM:: on a weekly basis. The procedure is located at MIM::[DECNET]NETUPDATE.COM (thanks Johnny). I will update it from time-to-time as necessary and re-post that fact here. I would store this procedure in a "common" place (ie SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]) or if you have it, a dedicated area that you already store command/batch job procedures (files). Pick a time and then run it as a normal command procedure. It is self-submitting so it will happily re-submit as part of the procedure. The procedure makes two assumptions: First that the batch queue you will be using is SYS$BATCH, and second that you want the update to occur on a weekly basis. You are of course free to change either. As always, please review any file that is submitted before committing to execute it, and if you have questions just ask. Regards, -Steve
