3633.0. "GETEVENT and AREA REACHABILITY CHANGE??" by LMASTR::WOESTEMEYER (Why??...Why not!!!) Wed Aug 26 1992 17:21

Problems with GETEVENT, VMS V5.5-1, BMS V1.2.  Today 2 customers had tried 
to set up OCCURS alarms on area reachablity, decnet event 4.17. In both cases
the rule is accepted, but never fires.  I set up the sinks and was able
to duplicate the problem.  Events for adjacent node down work fine, but 
area reachablity deoes not.  I have search the notes file, but find no related 
topics.  Does this work, if so how, or is it another undocumented feature?

Also related by one of the these customers is a preformance problem.  With
WSMAX set to 16000, it seems that when using the Iconic map his working set
get used up, ppreformance of the whole workstation goes down the tube, and
the only way out of it is to reboot.

  Please try the equivalent getevent directive which alarms uses ...

	getevent <entity> <event-name> , for duration 200-00:00:00

  If no data is returned - suspect the AM or event sink

3633.2No joy with geteventGWTEAL::WOESTEMEYERWhy??...Why not!!!Thu Sep 03 1992 13:265
    Well,
    
    I tried a straight GETEVENT for area reachablity change, it never did 
    log the event event though the decnet event was reported via opcom.
    Guess this will be an SPR
3633.3WSMAX should be set higherCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Sep 16 1992 12:3229
    Steve,
    
    I'm running the same versions of VMS and DECmcc (V5.5-1 and V1.2.0).
    
    I have found that WSMAX should be set to 32000 and VIRTUALPAGECNT
    should be 75000 at a minimum, 100000 is better.  Setting these values
    this high is especially important if you are using domains with many
    members.
    
    Try the following:
    	$ SHOW PROCESS/CONT/ID=<the_id_of_the_decmcc_impm_startup_window>
    
    Look in the upper right hand corner and you will see the working set
    and virtual pages for your IMPM process.  This will give you a better
    idea of what you will need to set.
    
    Be sure your UAF quotas are increased, as well (WSQUOTA,...,PGFLQUO)
    
    If you find that DECmcc IMPM is sapping your system, you might try
    using the following commands to "rob" from other processes that are not
    as important, but be sure you have a larger SWAP file, because you will
    most likely cause swapping.
    	$ SET WORK/LIMIT=512/QUOTA=1024/EXTENT=4096
    
    If you don't issue this command when starting up other processes, they
    will automatically have an extent based on UAF values set up for the
    user in AUTHORIZE.

    Well, note 76.0 in the MCC-ECO notes file indicates this problem has
    been identified. The COMMENTS sections raises another question:
    
    "COMMENTS:
    
    This fix has been added to the development stream of the next release."
    
    Which release will this be, 1.3, V??
