2220.0. "Terminal Server name = address" by CSC32::PITT () Tue Mar 04 1997 16:21

    
    IPMTd the following problem under PDM 2.1. 
    Will post results here. 
    
    SYMPTOM:                                                                        
                                                                                    
    The labels for all terminal servers are NOT reflecting the actual name
    of       
    the terminal server. This HAS worked in the past where I could go to
    the        
    server, change the server name, unmanage and manage the object and the          
    new name would appear. This implied that the name WAS coming from the
    name:     
    field on the terminal server itself (not out of any databases on the            
    system). Customer stated (and I have reproduced it here) that the
    server        
    names are showing up as the hdwe address, but not the format that is
    the        
    default address on the terminal server. (Default address would be               
    LAT_08002b123456). In this case the name (label on the object) shows up
    as      
    08002b123456. Here is the output of ovobjprint from my system showing
    that      
    the name is in fact seen as only the hdwe address and NOT any sort of
    name      
    at all.

    This problem has been reported to Engineering.                                  
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
                                                                                    
    WORKAROUND:                                                                     
                                                                                    
    None.                                                                           
                                                                                    
    ANALYSIS:                                                                       
    It appears that we are actually reading the address field and plugging
    the      
    response into the name field. This was NOT the behaviour in prior
    versions      
    of PDM.                                                                         
                                                                                    
    \

    CA engineering has supplied a patch for this problem. 
    If you need it, contact 1-800-354-9000. I'll see about putting it
    on a common site so you can access it on your own. Come to think of
    it, I'll see about finding (and posting) a common area for all PDM
    and TME patches that come out after our engineering folks have
    transitioned out. 8-{
