6413.0. "tsam & DECNET/OSI" by MLNCSC::ZAGHI () Thu Dec 07 1995 15:11

Hi,

reading MCCTSAM_014.RELEASE_NOTES;1 extracted from 
"POLYCENTER Terminal Server Access Module for OpenVMS" V1.4 kit,I can see that
the product doesn't support DECNET/OSI . But I also can see that the release 
notes are referred to version 1.0.4 . 
So, I'd like to know if this assertion ( DECNET/OSI not supported ) is true 
for version 1.4 too .
Why release notes that I can find in 1.4 kit are referred to version 1.0.4 ?
"POLYCENTER Terminal Server Access Module for OpenVMS" V1.4 is the last version,
isn't it ? 

Many thanks in advance ,

Paolo.

6413.1TSAM on DECNET/OSI not supportedDSVB03::TABONEFri Dec 08 1995 09:1112
Hi Paolo,

Sorry, TSAM on DECnet OSI is always not supported.
In fact, as we are only in maintenance mode, we cannot do
this new functionality without any funding.

If you (or other people) are interested to that, please 
contact me (and/or Joel Stunault DECmcc Project Leader at 
taec::stunault) by mail to get more information.

Regards,

    For the moment many thanks for your reply.
    
    Paolo.
6413.3OSI is a customer need, so where is it?SEDSWS::BRODIEMon Jan 29 1996 13:236
    Has the support to OSI been completed yet please? It is a touch
    difficult to explain that our customer's nice little DECmcc platform
    somewhat reduced in it's overall functionality by going to the
    'UPGRADE' path. As for funding!!!!
    
    Regards ALan Brodie

    As .1 pointed out, DECMCC is in maintenance mode.
    
    
    I suspect that the answer as to why there is no more development could be
    very complicated, especially since Digital has two competing NetMgmt
    products.
    
    Polycentre/Netview and TeMip 
    
    
    Both run on D_unix, but one is a port of a competitors product, the other is
    DECMCC, grown up and now delivering what it promised 3 years ago.
    
    	
    The answer is probably more to do with Internal Engineering politics than
    any real technical reason.
    
    
    
    
    If you liked MCC, but thought it was too clunky, then try TeMip, MCC's big
    brother.

6413.5Sorry not yet, but maybe a day...DSVB03::TABONETue Jan 30 1996 08:4517
Hi Alan,

The problem is not that we don't want to do this work, we are here
to work. But, as you maybe know, there is an API between MCC and TSM,
developed by TSM group. This API provides an interface for DECmcc to 
send TSM requests and get answers to/from TSM.
As we have not this source code, we need the help of the TSM group to
port it to manage TSAM on OSI. For now, we have not it and it was why
we asked for some funding. You understand that a modification of that
API is also a modification of the TSM product.

For now we are working to see how we can provide this functionality
for the next DECmcc version if possible. I think you will hear from 
us very soon.

Best regards,
Philippe Tabone - DECmcc Maintenance Team -
