530.0. "Special character within operator events" by TAGAUS::GRUENWALD () Fri Apr 25 1997 06:46

Hi,

OpenVMS VAX V6.2 

a customer gets from time to time operator events like

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   20-MAR-1997 15:54:22.09  %%%%%%%%%%%
(from node SERV02 at 20-MAR-1997 15:54:22.08)
Message from user SYSTEM on SERV02
�<x98><x99>p<x99>�e�<HTJ><xA0>K<x80>T��<VTS>��<VTS>X?3Vte<OSC>

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   13-MAR-1997 00:19:09.83  %%%%%%%%%%%
(from node SERV02 at 20-MAR-1997 00:19:09.81)
Message from user SYSTEM on SERV02
�<x98><x99>p<x99>�e�<HTJ><xA0>K<x80>�<VTS>��<VTS>X>3Vte<OSC>

After that, the console screen (VT420) is locked. An operator has to
reset the screen. This messages do also appear with DECnet events 0.3
disabled. They appear only from node SERV02, not from node SERV01.
Both nodes boot from the same system disk. (DSSI Cluster). On both
systems is service enabled. There is no relationship between satellite
booting and the operator messages.

Some applikations, like Pathworks and an IBM terminal emulation are only 
started on node SERV02.

Is there anybody who has had the same behavior?

Regards

Michael

   Find out what code -- it's probably an application or layered
   product -- is generating these OPCOMs, and fix it.  Consider
   using use-of-privileges auditing -- for OPER -- and/or starting
   all but one of the installed products, until you can locate the
   code generating these OPCOMs.
