XFOR: INS Runs Multiple Feeds with No Error Message (158131)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Commercial Internet System 1.0
This article was previously published under Q158131 SYMPTOMS
After you run a feed in Internet News Server (INS) from the command line,
it is possible to run the exact same feed again. You can run the same feed
multiple times without being notified of your error by the program.
For example, the following feed can be run over and over from the
command line:
rfeed -t a -f p -x 15 -r mynews -n * -d * -c
Each new instance adds a concurrent feed connection to mynews. You will
not receive an error message from the program about this error.
CAUSE
INS does not check to see if the same feed is being executed more than
once.
WORKAROUND
If you use the INS GUI administrator program, you can tell whether a
duplicate feed has been set up by looking on the Feeds tab. The problem is
not noticeable from the command line.
To avoid this problem you should always use the INS GUI to add feeds. You
may continue to use the command line for adding feeds provided you type the
command multiple times.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Commercial Internet System
INS version 1.0.
