4258.0. "BMS startup error message when creating dummy alarm rule" by CUJO::HILL (Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident) Wed Dec 16 1992 01:25

    Has anyone seen the following problem with DECmcc V1.2.3, ELM_AM
    V1.2.0, TSAM V1.0.2, VMS V5.5-2 :
    
    (During BMS startup with SET VERIFY...)                                    
    		.
    		.
    		.
    	   do mcc_system:mcc_enroll_bms.com
    	   create mcc 0 alarms rule __dummy_test -
    		expr=(sample foo user bytes sent=50), proc=nl:
    %MCC-I-NOPARCMD, rule __dummy_test expr=(sample foo user bytes sent=50), 
    proc
    %MCC-I-SYNTAXERR, ...
    %MCC-W-ARGUNKNOWN, unknown argument RULE
    
    
    Will I have to re-install the V1.2.3 kit?
    
    Thanks,
    Dan

4258.1Another old file?TOOK::MINTZErik MintzWed Dec 16 1992 07:106
Are you sure that you don't have another old file kicking about the system?
This is an obsolete syntax for alarm rules, so I'd be surprised if it
is in the startup procedure.

4258.2Installation on VMS-only systemCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Dec 16 1992 15:385
    This was a new system build.  DECmcc had not been previously loaded.		
    Joe O'connor suggested a re-install of BMS V1.2.3 to see if problem is
    fixed.  I'll do it shortly.

4258.3Reinstall of BMS 1.2.3 didn't workCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentThu Dec 17 1992 02:405
    The problem still exists.  Any ideas on which file(s) may be suspected? 
    Is this just a test procedure, or might I encounter problems later?  I
    don't really see anything yet.

4258.4You will probably have problems laterTOOK::GUERTINMCC Managing everything for everyone everywhereThu Dec 17 1992 10:1411
    I would guess there is a problem with your parse tables or dictionary.

    try:
    $ man/tool/dict sho class mcc subclass alarms subclass rule

    you should get a lot of information about definitions, attributes,
    directives, events, attribute partitions, etc.

    you should also try:
    $ search mcc_system:mcc_fdictionary.log "CREATE MCC ALARMS RULE"
    
4258.5Can you try again?WAKEME::ANILFri Jan 08 1993 05:2215

     No! I tried this very same rule on V1.2 MCC and the current internal 
     base level X1.3.5. I was able to create the sample rule with no syntax
     errors. Since I don't have the combination of software (DECmcc V1.2.3,
     ELM_AM V1.2.0, TSAM V1.0.2, VMS V5.5-2), the best thing to do is look
     in the dictionary you have on your system. Follow Matt's suggestion
     and report the log file here.

     Can you also try to create the same rule from FCL *after* installation?

4258.6Problem solved - @sys$startup:dns$client_startup.comCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Jan 13 1993 00:4111
    Sorry for taking so long to reply to this note.  I've been digging out
    of an avalanche following the holidays :-)  .
    
    This occurred on a node that was using a DNS repository.  The dns
    client software was not running.
    
    $ @SYS$STARTUP:DNS$CLIENT_STARTUP.COM   
    
    fixed the problem.
