4436.0. "DECmcc V1.3 & DECnet/OSI & IV/V EVLs ?..." by ZTOIS1::VISTA (Renato VISTA, SIS Strasbourg, France) Mon Jan 25 1993 10:20

    Hi,
    
    According to the replies posted around my previous note (4386.0), I had
    understood that
    
    "In V1.3 the DNA5 EVL can field and process both phaseV *and* phaseIV
    relayed events so you (we) could then move your (our) MCC environment
    over to the phaseV system" - cf 4386.4 -
    
    ie	DECmcc/BMS V1.3 on ULTRIX V4.3
    	DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX V5.1 (Extended Function, with DNS V2.0 Server)
    
    having the possibilities to receive Phase IV & Phase V events via
    DECnet/OSI Access Module EVENT Logger EVL (probably after changing
    syntax of rules & requests...).
    
    Nevertheless, the last T1.3.1 DECmcc/BMS release notes contain the
    following paragraph, Page 3-18, Section 3.9 :
    
    "The DNA5 EVL does not currently support DECnet phaseIV relayed events.
    If you wish to field DECnet phaseIV events in DECmcc you must run the
    DECnet phaseIV EVL. Note that the DNA4 EVL only runs on a DECnet
    phaseIV system. So to receive both phaseIV and phaseV events in DECmcc,
    you should run DECmcc on one of the phaseIV nodes, and run both the
    DNA4 and DNA5 EVLs."
    
    Is anyone able to explain the meaning of this paragraph ? Is it a
    temporary configuration ? Will my final expected platform be a possible
    configuration ?
    
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Renato

    The release note comment should have been removed as of T1.3.1.
    That was an oversite on my part.  The DNA5 EVL does indeed support
    phaseIV relayed events as of T1.3.1.

    . DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX V5.1, Extended Function (with DNS V2.0 Server)
    . DECmcc/BMS V1.3, with DNA4 AM and DNA5 AM, with both Phase IV & Phase V
      events supported via DNA5 EVL process
    . DECmcc/ELM AM & FM, V1.3 next version
