2778.0. "MCC_EVC_SEND to MCC_EVC_SINK problem" by BALZAC::COULON (Even if it works, ask why) Thu Apr 16 1992 09:31

 When trying to use MCC_EVC_SEND to send alarm to the DATA COLLECTOR, I get
the "%SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN, login information invalid at remote node" message...

 The MCC_EVC_SINK process seems to be running fine (LOG file is empty) but I
cannot see any MCC_EVC_SINK object, which explains the previous message, and
makes me an intruder... Is the MCC_EVC_SINK process supposed to define a 
DECnet MCC_EVC_SINK object? And when? Could you explain a bit how MCC_EVC_SEND
communicates with the MCC_EVC_SINK process?

 Thanks and regards,

 Serge

    The 'login information invalid' message almost *always* means that the
    MCC_EVC_SINK object did NOT get created.   It is possible for the
    process to get created, but not the DECnet object.  This is usually a
    privilege-related problem.

    Please make certain that you are enabling the sink from a process with
    the appropriate DEFAULT privileges (i.e. SETPRV won't cut it),
    preferably from SYSTEM, since that removes all doubts.  Unfortunately, I
    don't remember the exact priv list is that's needed...

    To save myself from having to think about this, I inserted the "enable"
    command line into my SYSTARTUP_V5.com after the MCC_STARTUP_BMS.COM
    procedure runs... (STARTUP runs with all privs, so no problems... just
    set and forget.)   BTW: Due to popular demand, we have added a startup
    procedure for the EVC_SINK to the FT2 kit, similar to the one for the
    DECnet event sink startup...

    I don't know the sink code very well so I'll leave any discussions of
    it's internals to Jean or someone else..

    Hope that helps.
