3166.0. "MCC_DNA4_EVL execution account?" by KETJE::PACCO () Wed Jun 10 1992 17:45

    This is another question about MCC_DNA4_EVL.
    
    Once the ncp database has been define correctly, the only thing to do
    in order to start the DNA4 event logger or sink for DECmcc is to
    	NCP "SET LOGGING MONITOR STATE ON" (eventually preceeded with a
    				"STATE OFF"
    
    In out configuration this is not sufficient. In fact.
    
    It seems that EVL tries to set up MCC_DNA4_EVL by creating a DECnet
    logical link, using the DEFAULT EXECUTOR DECNET ACCOUNT.
    Clearly that account:
    	- does not know the file MCC_DNA4_EVL.COM
    	- if it knows, has no read access to it
    	- if it has access, has no privileges enough to run MCC_DNA4_EVL
    
    	Define an object with name MCC_DNA4_EVL username and password
    allows me to run MCC_DNA4_EVL without any problem any more.  Nowhere is
    stated this NCP OBJECT definition.
    
    Is this the right way to setup DECnet phaseIV events, or is there
    another preferred way ?

3166.1try our command procedure!!!KITFOX::BALLThu Jun 11 1992 12:5721
   Hi -
    	To make a long story short and life a little simpler for everyone a
    dcl command file comes with each kit. The name of the command file is 
    mcc_startup_dna4_evl.com. The file can be found in sys$startup...
    
    	To get the procedure going you must do the following:
    	( 1 ) edit the file replacing <os_node> with your node4
    	( 2 ) uncomment the directives and run the command file
        ( 3 ) $@sys$startup:mcc_startup_dna4_evl
    
    	The reason for running this procedure is the object, etc. is all
    setup for you. After everything is started ( i.e. the object created,
    the process mcc_dna4_evl running, etc. ) you can then receive and 
    generate events.

3166.2Edit MCC_STARTUP_DNA4_EVL.COM is not enough !KETJE::PACCOThu Jun 11 1992 14:1213
    Darryl,
    
    	I already did follow step by step the 3 points you explained.
    This however does not solve the problem by any means.
    
    If no USERNAME and PASSWORD are specified in the command procedure,
    under which account the procedure will run ? Clearly under the
    default DECnet account.  That account in our case is DECnet$SERVER,
    which has about no privileges ....
    
    This is in short what under #0 I tried to explain.
