2175.0. "acl_edit unable to bind to object, bindings lost ????" by VIRGIN::BILL (BILL is my lastname !!!) Mon Mar 03 1997 08:45

Hi folks

This problem seems to be an old issue and fixed
for some platforms. (see also 1366, 1436, 1443 and QAR 374)

I have two customers having the same problem:

VMS 6.2 and DCE 1.3b ( with ECO's)

They see occasionally the follwoing problem:

acl_edit /.../gdc046_ch
        
returns >>>   unable to bind to object /.../gdc046_ch

I tried to do a cdscp on that object:

GDC046::ERBER>cdscp
cdscp> show object /.:/gdc046_ch

                        SHOW
                      OBJECT   /.../og.rzc2.ptt.com/gdc046_ch
                          AT   1997-02-27-15:54:34
            RPC_ClassVersion = 0100
             RPC_ObjectUUIDs = 33e538174ccbcf11a3b708002bb76893
                     CDS_CTS = 1996-06-21-10:03:08.913890100/47-44-43-30-33-39
                     CDS_UTS = 1997-02-27-00:56:01.695495100/47-44-43-30-33-39
                   CDS_Class = CDS_Clearinghouse
            CDS_ClassVersion = 2.0
              CDS_ObjectUUID = 1738e533-cb4c-11cf-a3b7-08002bb76893
                  CDS_Towers = <empty set>
           CDS_CHDirectories = :
           UUID of Directory = 0a12d9c4-cb4a-11cf-9424-08002bb77825
           Name of Directory = /.../og.rzc2.ptt.com
           CDS_CHDirectories = :
           UUID of Directory = 0f797b8d-cb4a-11cf-9424-08002bb77825
           Name of Directory = /.../og.rzc2.ptt.com/hosts/gdc039
           CDS_CHDirectories = :
           UUID of Directory = 333bd938-cb4c-11cf-bfaa-08002bb77825
           Name of Directory = /.../og.rzc2.ptt.com/hosts/gdc046
           CDS_CHDirectories = :
           UUID of Directory = 98f91e3e-cb4e-11cf-a59d-08002bb77825
           Name of Directory = /.../og.rzc2.ptt.com/hosts/gdc039/og

or 

GDC046::ERBER>rpccp show entry /.:/gdc046_ch

objects:

  1738e533-cb4c-11cf-a3b7-08002bb76893

>>> no matching binding information found

GDC046::ERBER>rpccp show entry -u /.:/gdc046_ch

objects:

  1738e533-cb4c-11cf-a3b7-08002bb76893

>>> no matching binding information found

If the customer does a dce_setup clean and start everything
works perfectly.


I'm not sure if this problem is or was fixed on DCE for VMS.
It looks like that the QAR 374 is against the same problem
for the DUNIX platform. 

Any comments on this issue ?

Thanks and regards

2175.1missing CDS_Towers on the objectTUXEDO::ZEEThere you go.Thu Mar 06 1997 11:3233
A few questions:

- Has this clearinghouse, /.:/gdc046_ch, moved or been created recently?

- If you do a "cdscp dump clerk cache", is there a CACHED CLEARINGHOUSE
  entry for this clearinghouse with appropriate towers?  If so, can
  you do a "cdscp show clearinghouse /.:/gdc046_ch" and post the output?

There were some timing-related problems with creation of new clearinghouses
or moving of clearinghouses in previous versions of DCE in that the
new address information was not necessarily updated in a quick enough
fashion that people would expect.  Having empty towers on the
clearinghouse object is indicative of this, but not a guarantee.

There's a difference between:

"cdscp show clearinghouse /.:/foo_ch" - connects to specific clearinghouse,
returns information stored only at that clearinghouse.

and

"cdscp show object /.:/foo_ch" - this is the clearinghouse object.  Could
connect to any server in the cell as this information is replicated.
The cds clerk may do an equivalent operation to get the CDS_Towers of
this clearinghouse if it is not in the cache already.

Now, much of the information returned by the above two commands should be
the same if they are properly synchronized, which .0 seems to indicate
they are not with the empty CDS_Towers.  This indicates a server problem
on the /.:/gdc046_ch node in that the server is not updating the
clearinghouse object for some reason.
