question 1
    Can Decmcc v1.2-15 recieve events for both Mcc_dna4_evl and
    mcc_dna5_evl.
    
Yes, both the PhaseIV and PhaseV event sinks may run and process events
simultaneously. However, the PhaseV event sink has a restriction where
it does not support PhaseIV relayed events.  That is, an event which is
a PhaseIV event (NICE protocol) which is "wrapped" as a PhaseV event.


    Question 2
    
    	If v1.2-15 can NOT  recieve events from two sink points
    (object0,object99).
    Then a WAVE 1 extension node cannot be used, to sink  both 
    phasev and phaseiv events.
    			(true/false)

MCC has no restriction regarding both event sinks running at the same time,
so long as the PhaseIV events come in as a "pure" PhaseIV event (not relayed).

    
    Question 3
    
    If question 3  above is true then only a TRUE PHASEV, can be used
    to sink both PhaseIV and PhaseV.
    
>>>>    I  am asumming then PhaseV event relay is working?

No, relayed event processing is NOT supported in the current
implementation of the MCC PhaseV event sink.
    

One other point worth mentioning is that the PhaseV EVL was listening
on DECnet object 99 as a temporary solution during fieldtest of MCC V1.2
while we went through the registration process.  That process has been
completed and with the shipped product the evl will be listening to
Object=0, NAME=MCC_EVL_SINK (all caps).  So a typical setup of your outbound
stream may look something like the following when V1.2 ships.


NCL> CREATE EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM your_stream

NCL> SET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM your_stream -
_NCL> SINK END USER NAME = MCC_EVL_SINK

NCL> SET EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM your_stream SINK NODE DEC:.xxx.yyy

NCL> ENABLE EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM your_stream

    Thanks for your quick response.
    Is there a patch I can implement to bring the bl15 upto correct event
    handling.  "Just to make life a bit easier" 
    
    As Bl15 is being field tested on large customer level II network;
    3  DECnis ,10 WANrouter ,10 DECrouter  and finally 4 DECSA router
    
    	Thanks for your help

X1.2.15 was not intended to be released to any external customers.
It was not tested sufficiently for external use; that is why it is
an "X" (experimental) baselevel, rather than a field test baselevel.

Please send me mail if you need information about getting support
for a registered field test site.

    To clarify the status with pure PhaseV nodes with PhaseIV relay.
    
    Dna5_evl will handle both the real phaseV event and the translated
    phaseiV to PhaseV.

    DECmcc alarm with Dna5_evl  will relate the PhaseV event for a phaseIV node
    with alarm rule setup for the phaseIV node(format of rule is phaseIV
