2136.0. "Resource Failure CML Application" by MDR01::VENTURA (MCS Madrid) Fri Feb 28 1997 11:07

	Hi,
	I'm not an expert with Unix and I have a customer with some errors
in the session control application cml of decnet/osi and he claims us an 
explanation of this.

	The customer has the following versions:
	DIGITAL UNIX V3.2F (Rev 6973)
	DECnet/OSI for DIGITAL UNIX V3.2A-0 (Rev 2319)

	Below is the configuration of the cml application and its counters.
The counter with the errors is RESOURCE FAILURE and we would like to know the
possible reasons of these errors.

	That counter is incremented if any of the following calls fail:

		fork(2)
		sia_ses_init
		sia_ses_estab
		sia_ses_launch

	or if "Maximum Instances" is defined, then "Active Instances"
	is already at the max, or "Image Name" is not set.

    Thanks for the answer, 
    	I don't have defined "Maximum Instances" and the "Image Name" is
    correctly set. The object works properly with ncl commands from others 
    systems.
    
    	This system is monitored from Polycenter Netview in other system.
    Is't possible that some interaction with that system give us the
    "Reosurce Failure" errors?. 
    	The customer says that every half hour he sees a console message:
    
    	Feb 2 19:46:47 cpdes dnascd[7554]: Connect from 40.16::uic=[0,0]root
        for application cml under daemon
        Feb 2 19:46:47 cpdes cml[7554]: main (0): call to CMIP_Listen failed,
        status=585
        Feb 2 19:46:47 cpdes dnascd[355]: Process exit (PID 7554), status 1 
    
    	where the 40.16 node is the system with Netview installed.
    
    	Any suggestion?
    	Thanks

    The message about "CMIP_Listen failed" means cml doesn't like
    something about whoever is trying to connect to it.  Unfortunately,
    585 (CMIP_fatalInternalError) gets returned under a lot of
    different conditions.
    
    A cml trace *might* help pin this down.  To set up tracing do:
    
        # cd /usr/sbin
    	# ./cml -t
        # mv cml cml.exe
        # cp cml.sh cml
    
    The trace files will show up as /tmp/cml.log.*
