A customer that I meet at DECUS is using NCS on his VMS
system instead of UCX. He indicated that while NFS, FTP,
and TELNET work just fine, he is having problems with
using NCS with DECmcc. DECmcc consistently performs
a process ACCVIO with an indication of a socket problem.
The customer wants to know if this is a know problem
with NCS or DECmcc and is a patch available.
Thanks, Claudia

The SNMP AM is coded to the standard socket interface and the same code should work the same way on any U*ix or VMS TCP/IP implementation. However, in reality, implementations differ and in many cases they do not work too well in multi-threaded environments. We have spend considerable time and effort working with the TGV folks to get their Multinet TCP/IP implementation working with the SNMP AM. We had similar experience with Wollongong who, last I heard, were off fixing a bug in their socket code. The reason why DECmcc does not work with NCS may not be too obvious, and would probably need considerable engineering time to determine. I do not know if anyone has ever tried running the SNMP AM on the NCS TCP/IP implementation. You can ask the customer a few obvious questions. Has s/he relinked the SNMP AM with the NCS socket library before trying to run it? (The instructions on how to do it is available in the release notes). Also, does turning on all privileges make a difference? Rahul. | |||||
| 5204.2 | we'll try rebuilding | TOOK::PETERS | Wed Jun 16 1993 17:15 | 4 | |
Thanks .. I contacted the customer, he'll try rebuilding the
SNMP AM and get back to me. The ACCVIO does occur with priv's,
he was running from the system account.

More information ....
The customer rebuilt the SNMP AM and reran 'auto config'
(I previous thought this was via registration). The module
getting the ACCVIO is MCC_AC_IP, but there is no relink
file for it. Any additional comments? Plain registration
and access to the object appears to work just fine of NCS's
TCPWARE.

Just curious. Do the SNMP AM commands work properly? Maybe someone responsible for Autoconfig can help your customer out with the other problem. Rahul. | |||||
| 5204.5 | yes SNMP AM commands work fine | TOOK::PETERS | Thu Jun 17 1993 17:06 | 3 | |
Yes ... the SNMP AM commands do appear to work properly.
