4011.0. "Warning: SSB WaveII and DECmcc phaseIV management" by TOOK::PURRETTA () Mon Nov 02 1992 17:49

It has come to our attention (note 3974) that you cannot manage a
DECnet phaseIV node from MCC if you're running on the SSB version
of the VMS DECnet/OSI software (waveII).  A change they made just before
the SSB release introduced a bug which broke the DNA4 Access Module.

The VMS developer has been informed and is in the process of providing
a fix.

If you are an internal site and wish to use MCC in this manner, I'd
suggest not upgrading your VMS DECnet/OSI software to the SSB version
until this fix is available.

They are also planning to get this fix out to the customer sites
but I don't know the distribution details.

I will update this note with more details as they come available.

4011.1	Fix known	TOOK::PURRETTA	`Fri Nov 06 1992 17:37`	4
	I have just tested a new (fixed) CML.EXE from the VMS development group and it does indeed fix the problem. So a fix is known and will be distributed (by them) as soon as possible,
4011.2	Distribution of bugfix	TOOK::PURRETTA	`Wed Nov 25 1992 12:46`	22
	This is how VMS DECnet/OSI engineering plans to fix this problem. Subj: We're working on it We are still working out the plan by which we create and ship fix kits to DECnet customers. I expect the plan to be finished after some meetings tomorrow afternoon. The fixes will be packaged together and given to the CSCs according to Standard 204. If you believe that the customer is suffering a service outage by not having the fix today, please contact Pat Taylor and let her know. We can arrange to send the fix individually, as long as the fix kit is also sent to the customer when it is ready. Jim

	This was extracted from the DECNET/OSI notes conference on how to obtain the fixed CML.EXE <<< BULEAN::BULEAN$USER:[NOTES$LIBRARY]DECNET-OSI_FOR_VMS.NOTE;1 >>> -< DECnet/OSI for VMS (aka DECnet-VAX Wave2) >- ================================================================================ Note 450.1 CML patch needed... 1 of 4 BULEAN::TAYLOR 11 lines 18-DEC-1992 11:51 -< Fix is being made available >- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Have a look on the BAGELS:: default directory for CML.EXE. Colorado has a copy for customers that need it today and can't wait for the whole Wave2 fix kit to be made available. The first Wave2 fix kit is in progress. Cheers, Pat

4011.5	DNVOSI update kit wrong protection on CML.EXE	TOOK::PURRETTA	`Wed Jan 27 1993 14:07`	4
	The CML.EXE as packaged in this kit gets installed on the system with the wrong protection so it doesn't get executed. After the upgrade, change the protection to W:RE, otherwise you'll still see the problem.
