1264.0. "Internal error in DECnet Phase IV AM." by HVDSQR::HERRLICH (Alan, DTN 223-4408, TSGDEV::HERRLICH) Thu Jul 18 1991 14:25

I have been having some problems trying to get the MCC demo to work.
Specifically getting my own node registered so I have an entity to look
at during the demo. I have just reinstalled MCCBMS and MCCTK and am starting
to reinstall the Demo. Both MCC IVP's ran successfully. It tells you to do the
following...

$ mana/ent
DECmcc (V1.1.0)

MCC> show mcc 0 all attr

MCC 0
AT 18-JUL-1991 11:18:42 All Attributes

                         Component Name = REGGAE_NS:.MCC.REGGAE_DIRECTOR
               Component Identification = "DECmcc"
                      Component Version = V1.1.0
MCC> register node4 .reggae syn reggae

Node4 REGGAE_NS:.reggae
AT 18-JUL-1991 11:18:51

The requested operation cannot be completed
            MCC Unhandled Service Reply = Internal error in DECnet Phase IV AM.
MCC>

I assume that this isn't related to the Demo, but is some bug in MCC.
Any ideas about what it is or is there a work around?

1264.1Request for more info....TOOK::CAREYFri Jul 19 1991 15:3146
    
    I'm not very familiar with the demo and what it comes with (Rob,
    Claudia, you guys know your way around that, right?) but I am familiar
    with DECnet phase 4.
    
    Unfortunately, the "Internal Error in DECnet Phase IV AM" is the error
    you will get whenever something occurs way outside of the AMs
    expectations.  Hopefully, that isn't very often any more.
    
    Couple of things could be going wrong here, and if you can get me some
    more information, either I'll be able to shed more light on it or
    someone else will.
    
    The problem is either related to the DNS setup, or it's related to
    something specific and strange about your node4, Reggae.
    
    Try the following requests to Node4 Reggae:
    
    	SHOW NODE4 reggae ALL IDENTIFIERS
    	SHOW NODE4 reggae CIRCUIT * ALL IDENTIFIERS
    	SHOW NODE4 reggae CIRCUIT * ALL CHARACTERISTICS
    	SHOW NODE4 reggae LINE * ALL IDENTIFIERS
    	SHOW NODE4 reggae LINE * ALL CHARACTERISTICS
    
    These requests are done on your behalf by the registration FM as part
    of the register procedure.  If any of these requests fail to work,
    please try the corresponding NCP requests, such as:
    
    	MCC> SHOW NODE4 reggae LINE * ALL CHARACTERISTICS 
    
    information can be retrieved using the NCP command:
    
    	NCP> TELL reggae SHOW KNOWN LINE CHAR
    
    or if it's the local node, just SHOW KNOWN LINE CHAR.
    
    The error you've gotten may also indicate some error in the DNS setup
    of the MCC Instance Repository (which happens to be kept in the
    namespace).   Assuming that these requests work, we'll pursue that
    next.
    
    Please respond via MAIL to TOOK::CAREY (that's me) in order to keep the 
    notes file uncluttered, and to get you best response.
