3364.0. "TCPIP SNMP AM instal problem" by NYANIS::ENG () Wed Jul 15 1992 15:57

I have installed MCC TCPIP SNMP AM V1.1 on MCC EMS V2.1 on several customer 
sites without problem, except this time.  The release note doesn't give me
any answer.  I hope some expert will advice.

The problem is in the installation.  the msg

"%MCC-E-ATTRNOTALLOW, no attribute or argument allowed"

shows when it tries to test the newly installed AM in MCC.
The release note said I should look for 
" TEST MCC 0 TCPIP_AM successful" to indicate a successful installation,
but I don't see it.

In fact, I had tried to install this SNMP AM 3 times and hope for the 
test successful msg but never get it.

I also tried to test the TCPIP_AM manually and got the same message.
MCC> TEST MCC 0 TCPIP_AM

%MCC-E-ATTRNOTALLOW, no attribute or argument allowed

  Following the copying of the files, the DECMCC TCPIP
   start-up command procedure(s) will be invoked.  Operational
   tables will be created by this procedure.

   To automatically set up DECMCC TCPIP on your system,
   edit your local system start-up command procedure

             SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM
   so that it invokes the DECMCC TCPIP start-up command
   procedure.  Add:

             @SYS$STARTUP:MCC_TCPIP_STARTUP.COM

   after the statement that invokes the DECMCC BMS start-up
   command file (MCC_STARTUP_BMS.COM)

   Following the DECMCC TCPIP start-up the DECMCC TCPIP
   post install command procedure will be invoked.

Sounds like a misplaced parse table. 

You're probably using an old parse table instead of the newer one generated by
the installation process.

Look in sys$specific: for dangling older parse table file & get rid of it.

    Thank you for your quick response.  
    
    I selected not to rebuild the parse table because I have a VBAM to be
    installed later.  Obviously it is better to rebuild the parse table
    every time I install a new AM.
    
    I reinstalled the SNMP AM with parse table update.  It was successful.
    Thank you again for the good advice.

Yes, the time to postpone rebuilding the parse table is only if
you are installing several AMs at once.  You have to re-build before
using the new function.

This gets easier in V1.2, since you don't have to do full parse table rebuilds.
