I'm on day 8 of trying to install ts2000. Here's some of the fun I've been
having
Problem #1 - converting data from ts4. I got about a billion messages
saying
" c:\ordev\server\pds\pricedata storage.cpp:1115> pds error - data out of
order for
write transaction. <c:\ordev\server\hist_buff.cpp:396>"
The only response allowed is "OK", but of course it stops the conversion
waiting
for you to respond. This means the conversion of my data, collected since
1994,
took about three days to do each time (I had to do it twice - see problem
#2).
Now the conversion wizard keeps a log of problems, why couldn't it just log
the error
and keep on going?
Problem #2 - when I set up my new computer I didn't notice that the date was
set to
1998. the data conversion wizard took that to mean I didn't want any data
collected
after 3/23/98. Had to blow it all away and start all over.
Problem #3 - None of the expired contracts got converted! Even though the
conversion
wizard showed it was processing these contracts, they don't show up in the
global
data manager.
Ok - so I'll worry about the historical data later - lets try and do
something with this
software.
I bring up a chart. Why cant ts2000 (or ts4) default to all the data in
the file? This has
been annoying for a long time.
Problem #4 - I import a system from a ts4 ela file. I try to apply it to
the chart - doesn't work.
Hmmm says something about "I/O error a token file is missing". I re-verify
the system.
Still doesn't work. So I try a "verify all" and get "Fatal Exception 0E at
015F:BFF9DBA7"
now windows 98 is hosed and I have to restart my computer.
In omega's defense, when I went back in and looked at the verify all
function again, it does
have a warning message to the effect of "you must shut down the global
server before doing
a verify all". Why? I checked ts4, no such message there.
Problem #5 - trying to create another chart - get message "Omega research
platform -
failed to create object. Make sure object is entered into system
regestery" - Huh????
gotta go to lunch, I tell you some more later (it gets better)
