5077.0. "Setting Circuit, entity existence error ?" by SMAC10::BARKER_E (Ummm...) Tue May 18 1993 09:35

    Hi,
    
    	I'm trying to configure a circuit between two DECnet Level2
    routers, which have both already been registered with the circuits etc.
    all visible. After creating the circuit I then try to set the
    aendpointname and zendpointname, I get the following error :-

    The requested operation cannot be completed
                      Entity Existence Info = Entity Existence Cannot Be
    Determined,
                          MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-INVPARAM,  invalid
    parameter passed
    
    
    
    I've checked through the manual and can't see any problems. I've
    re-checked the circuit and node4 names and all is OK. All examples I've
    seen follow the same syntax as I'm using, can anyone tell mee what I'm
    doing wrong ?
    
    Thanks for any help,
