5299.0. "ALARMS MANAGER does not come up !" by KETJE::PACCO (Gallia divisa est in partes tres) Mon Jul 05 1993 13:15

    The ALARM MANAGER still does not show up !!!!
    
    
    The following was done to clarify the problem:
    
    setenv DISPLAY mgkk01:0	
    /usr/bin/dxpaint for example does show up normally as an X-application.
    
    Then
    
    csh> cd /usr/mcc/mmexe/mcc_alarm_mgr
    csh> mcc_alarm_mgr
    Start Command processor in background
    Starting application
    [1] 1099
    csh> mcc_alarm_mgr
    The Alarm Manager is already running from this user id
    csh> mcc_alarm_mgr_ui
    
    	Here nothing happens any more ...
    	Only ^C allows me to exit ...
    
    	???

    	Dominique.

5299.1are your paths ok ?HERON::PATEL_ALoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMFTue Jul 06 1993 04:2817
    	Dominique.
    
    have you tried decnet as the transport ? also if your paths are set
    correctly then you should be able to get to the alarm manager
    application without changing directory ie 
    
    unimax.vbo.dec.com> which mcc_alarm_mgr
    /usr/bin/mcc_alarm_mgr
    unimax.vbo.dec.com> ls -l /usr/bin/mcc_alarm_mgr
    lrwxr-xr-x  1 root           28 May 24 16:29 /usr/bin/mcc_alarm_mgr ->
    /usr/mcc/
    mmexe/mcc_alarm_mgr
    unimax.vbo.dec.com>
    
    also try from MCC>
    
    test mcc 0 alm_mgr -- see if its enrolled correctly etc...
5299.2Soemthing more fundamental !KETJE::PACCOGallia divisa est in partes tresTue Jul 06 1993 13:2757
    Amrit,
    
    I already did all what you suggested.  The symbolic link exists, and
    the alarm_mgr is enrolled: the test is successful.  I also tried to
    define DECnet transport.
    
    First I had security problems:
    csh> setenv DISPLAY .gkk.m.mgkk01::0
    csh> mcc_alarm_mgr
    Start Command processor in background
    Starting application
    [1] 16434
    Xlib:  connection to ".gkk.m.mgkk01::0.0" refused by server
    Xlib:  Client is not authorized to connect to Server
    mcc_alarm_mgr_ui:  Can't open display
    [1]  + Exit 1               mcc_alarm_mgr_ui
    
    Then 
    csh> setenv DISPLAY bc:.gkk.m.mgkk01::0
    csh> mcc_alarm_mgr
    Start Command processor in background
    Starting application
    [1] 16448
    mcc_alarm_mgr_ui:  Can't open display
    [1]  + Exit 1 
    
    With printenv I get
    		DISPLAY=bc:.gkk.m.mgkk01::0.0
    Isn't here some confusion because of the ":" and "::" colons ?
    
    The I put ".gkk.m.mgkk01::0.0" as the authorized host node in the Xwindows
    security data base.  The I finally get:
    csh> mcc_alarm_mgr
    Start Command processor in background
    Starting application
    [1] 16552
    	I see heree
    
    ps -aux | grep al
    root        36  0.0  0.0  112    0 ?  IW     0:00 /usr/etc/dnalimd
    root     16552  0.0  5.3 4668 2852 p5 S      0:00 mcc_alarm_mgr_ui
    root       270  0.0  0.5 4968  276 ?  S      9:19 mcc_alarms_fm 2 N
    root     16565  0.0  0.1   40   32 p6 S      0:00 grep al
    root     16551  0.0  0.2  364  120 p5 I      0:00 csh -f mcc_alarm_mgr
    root     16405  0.0  2.7 2096 1436 ?  S      0:03 mcc_alarm_mgr_fm 16 N
    
    But nothing happens.
    Then after a while (1 minute or more)
    Exception: Invalid memory address (dce / thd)
    and I see  that process mcc_alarm_mgr_ui disappeared !
    
    DECmcc V1.3 was installed after DECnet V5.1 was put on the system.
    Has this any relation?

    	Dominique.
    
5299.3looks like ultrix/dns bugGOSTE::CALLANDERWed Jul 28 1993 14:3320
    to me it really looks like the alarm manager on ultrix is having
    a big problem when being run with DNS. I am not even certain that
    that configuration was adequately tested before the prototype was
    released.
    
    Ookay I am going to have to take a look into this one more closely.
    If you could try changing over to a local MIR for a few minutes
    and try bringing it up I would appreciate knowing if that lets
    you get the application running.
    
    Since the alarm manager is a prototype you can not submit a CLD
    on it, but we have established a support account for reporting
    (to  management and engineering) problems with the application.
    To report a critical bug send mail with a description of your
    management environment (version/hardware) and the problem to:
    
    	GOSTE::ALARM_MGR	(goste == 55.44)
