4028.0. "I can't do SHOW CHARACTERISTICS on NODE4 entities" by STKHLM::AMARTENSSON () Wed Nov 04 1992 02:53

Hi,

I have DECMCC 1.2 and it works all fine with one exception. I can't perform the
SHOW CHARACTERISTICS command on NODE4 entities. It gives me an error message if 
I try. Does anyone know what causes the problem and how to correct it?

Thanks in advance

4028.1Question is a bit sketchy...TOOK::MINTZLKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033Wed Nov 04 1992 13:356
Perhaps if you give us the exact syntax that you are using for the show
command, and the error message, then we might be able to help.

While we're at it, which operating system are you using, and
what version of DECnet is installed?

    And I assume you are using FCL?

Hi,

It is the same problem as in note 4019 and 3933.

The operating system version is VMS 5.5 and I use the iconic
map.

Error message is:  "No corresponding entity instance exists".
I will provide a logfile if it helps.

This note has been consolidated with other notes and entered
as QAR 536 in MCC012_EXT (see note 7).

For V1.3, the Iconic Map will continue decoding an examine directive even if
it has difficulty with any of the attributes.  Instead of stopping decoding
with the first error status and displaying only the status, any attribute
which returns an error while being decoded will display -ERROR- in the text
widget associated with the attribute, and a popup message will display with
the following information:

	Error decoding attribute <attribute name>
	text of error message

4028.6-ERROR- is not enough for my customerCOPCLU::SORENCS�ren H Christiansen - (7)857-2107Mon Dec 14 1992 08:4323
    I have seen the same thing with a customer. The problem seems not to be
    the decoding itself, but more the return value from DNA4_AM, when
    access is specified. When you specify DEFAULT ACCESS for a node is
    appears correctly (even the attribute name is right !), but when you in
    addition specify ACCESS this appears as an error for this 'new'
    attribute administrativeState, which does not make sence (?).
    
    You can easily reproduce this by trying the following commands:
         
    NCP: set node xxx access both
         show node xxx char (to verify parameters)
    MCC: show node4 xxx all char
       << here you get the error >>
    NCP: clear node xxx access
    MCC: show node4 xxx all char
       << no problem (the access field does not appear) >>
    
    The QAR states that in V1.3 decoding will continue with -ERROR-, but I
    rather have the attributes appear correctly (as can be seen with NCP).
