161.0. "VMS Documentation?" by MAIL::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217) Tue Feb 16 1993 18:14

I just installed HUBwatch on my VMS system in our demo center.  Eventhough
the IVP ran OK, when I try to launch hubwatch from mcc (EFT 1.3), nothing
happens.  

My first step to resolve this was going to be to step through the HUBwatch
documentation to make sure everything is set up properly.  However, the doc
doesn't say anything about launching from an mcc system on VMS, only on 
ULTRIX.  

Is there updated documentaiton for the VMS version that I haven't found?

If not, I'll ask specific qustions in subsequent replies to this note.

Thanks.

Merlin

In a subsequent release, the HUBwatch installation procedure will do all
the work automatically for MCC launching.  Coming soon, but not yet.
161.3Now WorkingMAIL::CLAYTONMerlin Clayton DTN 445-7217Thu Feb 18 1993 10:0821
The problem with launching HUBwatch T1.1.8 was related to the method of
envoking HUBwatch from VMS.  

The old way was "mcr hubwatch ....."

The new way is "WATCH /AGENT <agent_name>"

I made the necessary changes to the MCC_APPL_HUBWATCH.def procedure and the 
launch from mcc now works.

The only problem I had was that I had to hard code the community name because
when I tried passing the variable it could not be found in the agent table.
This is most likely a problem with case sensitivity.  Hubwatch also did not
like the format of the IP address, so I just eliminated it from the argument
string.

Maybe someone can shed some light on these issues.

Thanks.
