4145.0. "List of problems when running DECnet/OSI" by OSLACT::BJORN (Why are diper's so wet?) Wed Nov 25 1992 10:11

I've still got a number of problems running MCC on VMS 5.5-2 and DECnet/OSI SSB
and DNS V2.0 with V2 format. DECmcc is running V1.2.3 dated 7-nov-1992.

1. SHOW NODE4 from FCL returns the error message 
	"Node does not support this system-specific operation"

2. An "Access Control Violation" event is generated periodically on my system
   where I have defined an "Event Dispatcher Outbound Stream MCC_STREAM" with
   "Sink End User = Name = MCC_EVL_SINK", and I've setup the PhaseV MCC sink
   with "MCC> ENABLE MCC 0 DNA5_AM SINK". The "Session Control Application
   MCC_EVL_SINK" is created by the ENABLE statement, and specifies "Outgoing
   Proxy = True" and "Incoming Proxy = True". When setting these parameters
   to "False" the event not generated anymore.

3. Autoconfigure does not work because of syntax-error when checking DNS for
   existence of directories specified in the MCC_AUTOCONFOG_PREFIX.DAT file.
   This problem is documented in a previous note.

I'm in a situation where I NO longer can demonstrate DECMcc from my WS, running
DECnet/OSI in a standard fashion.

Not an MCC bug, it's DECnet/OSI.  See note 4011.

I don't know why the event is being generated by Session Control, please
ask the DECnet/OSI folks.  One thing you could do in the meantime is to
modify your NCL startup script to set the proxy fields so that the events
don't get generated like so.

create session control application MCC_EVL_SINK
set session control application MCC_EVL_SINK address={name=MCC_EVL_SINK}
set session control application MCC_EVL_SINK Outgoing Proxy = FALSE
set session control application MCC_EVL_SINK Incoming Proxy = FALSE

This is probably the problem where DNS changed syntax in V2.0 and that
broke applications.

Hopefully the above answers will retract that statement.  I run DECnet/OSI
_and_ MCC in a "standard" fashion on my workstation quite successfully,
as do others which I have come in contact.

I don't want to create my own NCL script file for this. DECmcc is generating
the Session Control Application MCC_EVL_SINK for me, and therefore I expect
DECmcc to do it the right way. PLEASE create the MCC_EVL_SINK correctly.

Well, it's been almost 6 months since I raised the question about DECmcc
running well on DECnet/OSI. The answer was YES, no problem. Who's cheating who?
The answer is in this notesfile somewhere, I don't remember where, but it's
quite fantastic to get such an answer and after installation I find that the
DECmcc system no longer won't be able to do the job.

I wonder how I should have done it to not get into these problems, and I find
it VERY strange that noone else is seeing this.
