5945.0. "GETEVENT for DECNIS node entity not working" by CSC32::ORTIZ () Thu Apr 14 1994 10:42

    I have a customer running Polycenter 400 and has setup a DECNIS to 
    sink its events to the MCC_EVL_SINK. The sink is working but I am
    having problems using the specific NODE entity to capture the events.
    
    I do the following:
    
    	GETEVENT NODE * X25 ACCESS ANY EVENTS
    
    I will capture the following event:
    
    Port Terminated from: Node LOCAL:.DECNIS X25 Access,
            at: 1994-04-13-08:17:27.620-04:00Iinf
            Client=X25 Server,
            Remote Port=Node 0:.commgw X25 Access Port GAP_OUT_0000021F,
            Type=Switched,
            State=Cleared,
            Reserved="",
            Call Direction=Outgoing,
            Call Association=,
            Target DTE Address=9940016001,
            Calling DTE Address=99400160,
            Protocol Identifier='01000000'H
    
    
    HOWEVER, if I do GETEVENT NODE LOCAL:.DECNIS X25 ACCESS ANY EVENTS,
    I DON'T capture the event. I went into FCL and did a SHOW NODE DECNIS
    ALL IDENTIFIERS and the name is LOCAL:.DECNIS. I then go into NCL and
    do a SHOW NODE DECNIS ALL IDENTIFIERS and the following is generated:
    
    Node DECNIS
    at 1994-04-14-04:43:18.580-04:00Iinf
    
    Identifiers
    
        Name                              = LOCAL:.DECNIS
        Address                           =
           {
              (
              [ DNA_CMIP-MICE ] ,
              [ DNA_SessionControlV3 , number = 19 ] ,
              [ DNA_NSP ] ,
              [ DNA_OSInetwork , 49::00-01:AA-00-04-00-62-04:20
    (LOCAL:.DECNIS) ]
              )
           }
    
    
    What am I missing here? I should be able to pick up the event with
    LOCAL:.DECNIS.
    
    
    Any help would be appreciated....

5945.1LOCAL_NS instead of LOCALMAYDAY::ANDRADEThe sentinel (.)(.)Fri Apr 15 1994 05:2518
    
    LOCAL:    is the default local name used by DECnet/OSI
    
    LOCAL_NS: is the default local name used by DECmcc, so a 
    
    	"getevent node LOCAL_NS:.DECNIS" may work.
    
    My recomendation is to just use 
    
    	"getevent node .DECNIS" 
    
    and let the applications apply their own default as they see fit.
    As I mention in note 5939.1 don't forget to also update you towers
    information and load it.
    
    Hope this helps,

5945.2Suggestions didn't work...CSC32::ORTIZFri Apr 15 1994 15:0925
    Gil,
    
    	None of the suggestions you gave me worked. "NODE *" is still the
    only thing working. 
    
    	Here is the tower set text file that I loaded into DNS:
    
    
    NODE_NAME=.DECNIS             SYNONYM=DECNIS  PHASE=5  ADDRESS=01.0098 
    -
      TOWERS= -
      { -
        (NSP, 49::00-01:AA-00-04-00-62-04:20) -
      }
    
    
    
    The customer is running V5.5-2 DECnet OSI 5.6B. I think we have a bug,
    unless I am really missing something here, the translation is not 
    occuring.
    
    Again, any input would be appreciated...

    Indeed its strange that there is no net/osi towers info, ... did
    NCL node population go ok... can you "set host .DECNIS" ?
    
    Also one quirk, using the LOCAL naming option both in NCL and MCC
    means you are NOT using a DNS server (as such you can't load DNS).
    
    Also NCL and MCC used different databases so you need to populate
    BOTH...first in NCL then in MCC. you seem to be using the command
    interface, do you get different behavior from the iconic map or 
    the notification window ?

5945.4towers info not there?CSC32::ORTIZTue Apr 19 1994 12:5811
    Gill,
    
    	I am confused by what you are saying. Isn't the net/osi tower 
    information there? I am not completely knowledgeable about net/osi, but
    what is exactly missing in the towers info that I have in 5945.2 note?
    
    	The customer will use the iconic map to see what happens...
    
    Thanks again for your input,
    Richard Ortiz
