PC MMTA: External Fails when Run as an Idle Process of Dispatch (194849)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.5
This article was previously published under Q194849 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Swedish or Italian versions of External 3.5 as an idle
process of Dispatch with the '-tu02' command line option, External fails
when started and logs the following entry in the session log:
external -BR 0:0:2 terminated with exit code 165,
CAUSE
When you run the Swedish or Italian version of External.exe as an idle
process of Dispatch.exe, and no .ini files are present, External.exe is run
using 'external -br00:00:02'. This is invalid, so External.exe fails.
The time separator is correct for all other instances within Dispatch but
fails only when calling External.
