APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a non-Windows server, attempts to rename caceh files
  will be spaced 25 seconds apart (instead of 25 milli-seconds, as
  on Windows).
  
  This can completely block logins to the database.

  ****************************************************************
  Repeated attempts at cache renames can cause server issues
  on non-Windows platforms.  This is down to a difference in
  standard C libraries between platforms.
  

Problem conclusion

• Corrected a macro in DOORS server source.
