Educate me: what is a "superdump"? And how can I tell it has occurred?
Because I finally got around to trying MTS for myself, and it seems to work just fine for me on Windows with Vista 3270. The *only* thing that doesn't work is a 3270 model-5-E (27x132), which causes Vista to complain about an invalid buffer address (see attached).
But that's not Vista's problem. That's MTS causing that!
And the same thing occurs when I use Hercules 3.13 too!
As long as I stick with a model-4-E (43x80) or a model-3-E (32x80) or a model-2-E (24x80) however, then it seems to work just fine on both Herculeses. (Herculi?)
Are you *SURE* you're connecting your Vista 3270 session to MTS's 3270 display terminal address 0001 as a 3270 model 2 or 3 or 4? (i.e. NOT as a model 5?) (see attached)
Can we see a screen shot of Vista's connect dialog? As well as Hercules's logfile where it reports the connection? (e.g. "HHC02914I 0:0001 COMM: client 0 negotiations complete; ttype = 'IBM-3278-4-E'")
Note, this is not the case for Hercules 3.x (3.06, 3.13). They
don't exhibit this behavior.
For me, using a 3270 model-5-E (27x132) *always* causes problems, even for Hercules 3.x (3.13), whereas using any other model (e.g. 2, 3 or 4) works beautifully, just as it does with SDL Hyperion 4.6 too. <shrug>
Then it certainly sounds like there is a bug in SDL Hercules
which needs to be investigated!
Which I now suspect MIGHT not be the case!
It all depends on:
1. What a "superdump" is.
2. Whether you're using a model-5 or a model-4, 3 or 2.
3. Whether you're using NetBSD or not.
4. Whether your Hercules is running natively or in virtual machine (e.g. VMware on Windows, VirtualBox on Linux, or some other virtual machine running elsewhere, such as the AWS you mentioned before).
I will see about opening a ticket in order to help diagnose the problem.
Thank you. I would appreciate that very much.
Yes! PLEASE! We need to get to the bottom of this!
There is something very unusual with whatever system/environment you're trying to run SDL Hyperion + MTS on!
