2841.0. "Alarms in T1.2.7 create NML-Processes ?" by MFRNW1::SCHUSTER (Karl Schuster @MFR Network Services) Fri Apr 24 1992 06:36

    After installing T1.2.7 I get the following effect:
    I enable about 70 alarmrules in batchmode. As soon as the alarmrules
    start polling I get a lot of NML-Server processes ( about 70 ).
    
    I can't explain this behavior. When I stop the alarm batchprocess, the
    NML-Server processes disappear.
    
    The NML processes consume heavy system resources ( process slots,
    memory, CPU time ) and slow down the whole system.
    
    The corresponding NETSERVER.LOG files just say: NML connection from
    0::<user>.
    
    I can't explain this behaviour - what is the reason ?

2841.2use of nmlshr temporarily disabledTOOK::S_KOHoot mon!Mon Apr 27 1992 00:157
    The T1.2.7 release temporarily disables the use of NMLSHR on VMS.
    This means that network links are used for local access.
    
    Please see the release notes for more information.
    
    p.s.  Even though your alarm rules may not be about the local node,
    	  the local node may be queried for validation purposes.

    Thanks,
    
    I had a deaper look into the Releasenotes. Page 4-18 documents this
    behaviour.
