6013.0. "Problem with MCC translating ASCII events" by CX3PST::NOTAMI::A_ANDERSON (CX03 2/H13 NSU/VAX MacGhille Aindrais) Mon Jun 06 1994 16:26
I have the following problem statement from a customer. Since I know very
little about MCC (actually I know nothing about MCC, except Digital sell is),
I'll just include here what the customer sent to me. He is trying to set up
Enterprise specific traps.
Instead of gettin an event message he gets a Hex string.
I Hope this makes sense to some one that reads this notes conferance. I have
no idea where to go with this.

In the customers own words........
- This one was asked when I logged c940518-4265
Need to be able to use notification request such as
MNMSD_NS:.BOBSTEST Entity List = (SNMP ballpeen wec), Events = (tisEventCrit
ical)
but get "invalid combination of verb, entity and partition" message.

| 6013.1 | datatype is wrong | GOSTE::CALLANDER | | Mon Jun 06 1994 17:26 | 3 |
| the tisEventMsg is defined as an OCTET STRING which is why you
aren't seeing the ascii.
|
| 6013.2 | Thanks for the quick reply | CX3PST::NOTAMI::A_ANDERSON | CX03 2/H13 NSU/VAX MacGhille Aindrais | Tue Jun 07 1994 09:23 | 10 |
| Thanks
Of course the customer said this worked fine for two months then all of a
sudden it started to switched from ASCII to the HEX.

| 6013.3 | Displaystring fixed the problem | CX3PST::NOTAMI::A_ANDERSON | CX03 2/H13 NSU/VAX MacGhille Aindrais | Tue Jun 07 1994 14:06 | 6 |
| I had the customer change it to a DISPLAYSTRING. He did against his better
judgement. Darn if it didn't fix the problem.
Thanks again
Alan
