1018.1 | Maybe is it obsolete in DECnet? | AZUR::HUREZ | Connectivity & Computing Services @VBE. DTN 828-5159 | Tue Mar 18 1997 08:20 | 50 |

Looking into the code, the WDM event is reported when DECnet returns
the condition value SS$_NOSUCHOBJ (documented below). I couldn't get
it actually generated indeed, even after stopping the Agent and renaming
the command file sys$sysdevice:[sns$watchdog]sns$watchdog.com. It seems
that DECnet is always returning SS$_REJECT (connect to network object
rejected) in that case indeed. I'll try to investigate some more...

$ help/message NOSUCHOBJ
[...]
NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node
Facility: SYSTEM, System Services
Explanation: An attempt was made to initiate a DECnet for OpenVMS logical
link connection and the target object of the connect could
not be found on the specified node. The object name or
object number is unknown, or the command file used to start
the object could not be found.
User Action: Notify the system manager of the remote node. Refer to
the DECnet for OpenVMS Networking Manual for additional
information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ help/message REJECT
[...]
REJECT, connect to network object rejected
Facility: SYSTEM, System Services
Explanation: A request to connect to an object at a remote node
failed for one of the following reasons:
o The object requested does not exist.
o The access control information specified is invalid.
o The partner NSP has no resources.
o The partner task exited during the connect sequence.
o The partner task rejected the connect.
User Action: Determine which reason caused the failure and try to correct
the condition.

| Ollie,
I was working on this with Roger and I distinctly remember getting
the WDM event back in V1.0 days. I thought that the sns$reject_once
image that is run by SNS$WATCHDOG.COM should send a certain status code
back to the consolidator and the consolidator would know that the
Agent isn't running. The only time SNS$WATCHDOG.COM should run is when
the agent isn't running due to the way that the SNS$WATCHDOG is
defined in the permanent object database. Obviously, when the Agent
starts and declares itself as the SNS$WATCHDOG object SNS$WATCHDOG.COM
won't get executed. As I said earlier, I remember getting the WDM event
back in V1.0. Based on what you said in -1 about the NOSUCHOBJ status
then it would seem that we'd only get the WDM event if the Agent was not
installed on a node we attempt to poll. Hmmmmm....
Regs,

I tried as well clearing the object definition in NCP, removing the
SNS$WATCHDOG account, etc... with no chance! The returned status
always is connection rejected or refused.
I still have to determine whether this is due to a change in SNS or in
DECnet...

| Interesting and here's a new wrinkle. I just setup my V2.2-11
consolidator node to poll a system that has never had Watchdog installed
so you'd think we'd get a SS$_NOSUCHOBJ right? Wrong! We get
"login information invalid at remote node".
Regs,
Dan
