3845.0. "Why IP hostname must be added in ALF since Eco6 6.3 ?" by AUBER::HO (Dung HO - TSC - France) Fri Jan 24 1997 11:57

 Hi,

 Question about using IP hostname in ALF ; VMS 6.2 ; Decnet/Osi 6.3

 A customer of mine works with ALF and asks me why he must add a record
containing an IP hostname in the ALF database since ECO6 installed. 
While it worked fine before with the LOCAL namespace for the same node.

 CHATO.PIERRE-FABRE.FR::MERCUSH is added 

ALF database's content
**********************

%SYSMAN-I-ALFFIL, contents of ALF database on node GIEN
Terminal/Port Name                                              Username
--------------------------------------                          --------
CHATO::MERCUSH                                                  MERCUSH
CHATO.PIERRE-FABRE.FR::MERCUSH                                  MERCUSH
LOCAL:.CHATO::MERCUSH                                           MERCUSH

 The node CHATO is known in the LOCAL namespace

 The research order in the SESSION CONTROL Naming Search Path is
  LOCAL then DOMAIN

 If he removes CHATO.PIERRE-FABRE.FR::MERCUSH from the database, ALF doesn't
works anymore.

 Including below the result of SHOW SESSION and CDI Trace.

 Thanks in advance for help
