Mysterious Interaction due to other applications running under windows

After the VS2010 debugger I have found another application, which interact strangely with VASmalltalk:

I do now programming with Jade and Gemstone/S and when I do "commit and sleep" in the Jade application the Jade UI freezes and this affects a starting VASmalltalk application - when opening a modal file dialog. Other programs are running without any problems. The VASmalltalk system does not seem to be able to open the dialog.

Only when I terminate the Jade IDE application (by the TaskManager) the opening file dialog of my VA application opens and the application is running.

Environments issue

Hi!

How can I rename my images and still use Environments?

I work with several VAST Images in parallel. When I rename the abt.icx
differently I can't open the image via Environments again.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Re: Environments issue

Hi Sebastian,

Environments does not support this in its current form, though I agree that it would be a useful feature. It is on our list of enhancements we are considering. At this time, you need to create multiple environment folders, one for each image variation. I suppose for now, you could also swizzle the desired .icx file to abt.icx before starting as a 'Full' image does require the .icx file to be named abt.icx. A 'Basic' image has to be named ibmst.icx.

Thanks,

Bob

Re: Environments issue

Hi Bob,

thanks for the advice.

I use the image name in some widgets to know in development where I am...
I guess the easiest option is to still use .bat scripts.

Sebastian,

You can also create shortcuts in the Start menu (if you are using Windows, of course) which also allow you to rename the executable so you don't have multiple abt.exe's in the Task Manager list.
There is no magic in this; you just need to specify the command line arguments you need. By default, VA looks for the image and ini file with the same 'basename' as the executable. But you can specify the image file and ini file via command line arguments. e.g. you could have MyApp.exe running SomeImage.icx and starting with the Standard.ini file.

I haven't done this for 8.6 yet, but there is nothing preventing anyone from doing it.

If you need more details, I can gin up some examples over the weekend.

I don't understand why it seems Marten's "Mysterious Interaction due to other applications running under windows" topic got hijacked to be discussing Environments. But back to Marten's original observation - it sounds rather like my previous post:

"Multiple images on Windows interfere with each other"

Re: Mysterious Interaction due to other applications running under windows

Sorry Wayne,

that wasn't my intention.
I must accidently have replied to this instead of creating a new thread...

Anyways.
Does this problem also occur when you define the cpu affinity via the task manager?
When you ensure that each abt.exe is related to a different CPU?

Re: Mysterious Interaction due to other applications running under windows

Between images it definitely becomes a problem without ever touching the affinity. I think I may have tried changing the affinity of the first and second image but do not recall coming to any conclusions.
