5423.0. "set CIRCUIT AM with invalid parameter" by HGOVA::TIMA_BURANCE () Tue Aug 03 1993 08:06

Hi,

I am using POLYCENTER (DECMCC V1.3) and VMS V5.5-2 to create a DDCMP circuit 
between two PHASEIV nodes. 

The name of the circuit is ".circuit1" and the "show circ" attributes 
is in attachment.

Then I use the command :

   MCC> set circ .circuit1 zEndpointName={instance=node4 .dna_node.hgosps circuit T
        X-0-6}
and I get the following message :

   The requested operation cannot be completed
                  Entity Existence Info = Entity Existence Cannot Be Determined,
                      MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-INVPARAM,  invalid parameter
                                          passed
  
However if I use 
   MCC> show node4 .dna_node.hgosps circuit tx-0-6 all attri
and the result is good.

This above result is also true under the iconic environment.

Am I doing anything incorrect ?

thanks,
Burance.

    Hi -
    
    I seem to recall seeing this message, but only if the circuit was not
    actually there.   Some ideas:
    
    
    I notice in all my circuit AM char defs, I do not use .dna_node.xxx,
    instead I just use the NODE4 xxx Circ yyy.  Since you are using the
    .dna_node.xxx designator, maybe MCC is looking up the circuit name in DNS
    rather than on the acutal node.  If the circuit is not registered as a
    child entity in dns, then that information would not be returned.  
    
    So, try a dir node4 .dna_node.xxx circuit * and see what is returned.
    If the circuit info is not there, then you will need to specifically
    register the nodes circuits (ie. reg node4 xxx circuit yyy). 
    
    Another thing to try is setting the circuit AM chars using the node
    name without the dns directory designator.

Did you take a look at note 5212.*?
