7100.0. "DCPS 1.3 and TCPIP abort" by EVTAI1::LEREUIL () Tue Feb 25 1997 11:06

	Hi ,
	The customer wants to be able to use DCPS with tcpip to print to the 
	LPS17
	
	with these commands

	dcps$startup.com
	......
	$ on error then continue
	$ @sys$startup:dcps$execution_queue -
        WALSER   -                        ! P1 - Execution queue name
        RIVOLI::"TCPIP/16.189.128.148" -  ! P2 - Interconnect protocol/device name
        DCPS_LIB -                        ! P3 - Logical name for library(ies)
      	""-                               ! P4 - Default queue parameters
      	""-                               ! P5 - Default queue qualifiers
   
	.....
	
	When he attempts to start the queue he gets the following errors.
	This is after he does a reply/enable.
	
	
	RIVOLI-->@SYS$SYSROOT:[SYS$STARTUP]WALSER.COM
	%DCPS-I-PROGRESS, ...starting execution queue WALSER
	%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

	the logical dcps_lib has beeen defined correctly

	"DCPS_LIB" = "DCPS$DEVCTL" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

	When he works by DECNET this queue works with any problems

	When he pings on UCX by this command
	RIVOLI-->UCX
	UCX> PING 16.189.128.148
	%UCX-I-LOOPACT, 16.189.128.148 is alive
	UCX> EXIT

	
	Operating System Version VMS 6.1 with UCX 4.1 and I have tested on
	OpenVms 5.5-2h4 with UCX 3.3 I encountered the same problem.

	mcr lps$console clprlp

	DCPS VERSION IS 1.3

	THANKS INDEED FOR ANY IDEAS

    Is the node 16.189.128.148 defined in UCX?  It appears to be on my
    system as clprlp.evt.DEC.COM, but I have had problems with nodes that
    weren't defined in DNS.  I spent a lot of time on it before giving up
    and going to DECnet.  I know that UCX LPD will not work properly if the
    node name is not defined.  Perhaps there is some problem with DNS on
    the machine.

    Hi, on this command 
    	
    UCX> SHOW HOST 16.189.128.148
    
         BIND database
    
    Server:   16.189.144.202
    
    Host address    Host name
    
    16.189.128.148  clprlp.evt.DEC.COM
    
    I change the host address by the host name and works correctly...
    
    Thanks indeed
