1268.0. "Hubwatch V1.1 & UCX$ACCESS_SHR" by KERNEL::WARDJO () Wed Aug 03 1994 07:04

    
    I have a customer who gets an error when trying to start hubwatch for
    VMS. Useing the command "WATCH/AGENT/IP=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" gives the
    following error:-
    
    "Error activating image UCX$ACCESS_SHR - Ident
    missmatch with shareable image"
    
    Hubwatch V1.1
    VMS V5.5-2
    TCP/IP Services (UCX) V3.1
    
    I have been unable to reproduce this problem with Hubwatch V2.0, but I
    do not have a V1.1 kit.
    Does anyone know if there is a problem with the version of Hubwatch
    (V1.1) and the version of UCX (V3.1)? I have suggested the customer
    upgrade Hubwatch but he is not keen to do this, he also can't tell me
    when the problem started & if it fist happened after upgradeing UCX.
    
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    
    Thanks,

1268.1Please upgrade to latest codeDELNI::ROUNDSWed Aug 03 1994 07:5921
    Jon,
    
      The Hubwatch engineers will respond to the UCX error message.
    However you are running a very old version of Hubwatch and the 
    latest released version of Hubwatch has been extremely enhanced 
    with new features and functionality and bug fixes. One of the primary
    functions is the ability to do LANHOPPING. If your customer has
    DC900MX,DB900MX (bridges and concentrators), he requires HW V3.0
    to manage his network. There are pointers in this notesfile to HUBWATCH 
    documentation which includes pre-requisite software versions.
    
    I strongly suggest you work out getting HW3.0 working with UCX and then
    upgrade your customer explaining the advantages to running the latest
    code.
    
    Has the customer upgraded all his hub devices based on the May release
    of production code? See Note 1008.

1268.2Compatability between old Hubwatch & new UCX?KERNEL::WARDJOThu Aug 04 1994 05:3912
    Thanks for the response,
    
    I know the customer is running old software, V2 was the oldest version
    I had to try & reproduce his problem.
    
    I am trying to get the customer to upgrade but I was trying to find out
    if there is a compatability problem with the old version of Hubwatch &
    the latest version of UCX.

1268.3SLINK::HOODI'd rather be at the KennebecMon Aug 08 1994 16:515
We've seen lots of weird ucx problems when developing HUBwatch, but I don't
have any idea of which ones might affect HUBwatch V1.1.  That code is just
too old.  I don't think I've even got a V1.1 kit around here.
