3752.0. "MCC_DNA4_EVL can't connect to EVL" by MONTEZ::MONTEZ (The impossible takes a litle longer...) Wed Sep 16 1992 16:53

        Hi there.
    
    	I'm trying to use Event notifications on MCC.
    	Some times it works, some it don't...
    
    	The processs MCC_DNA4_EVL is up and running and the log is:
    
    -------------------------------------
    
    $ manage/enter/presen=mcc_dna4_evl
    Declared network object MCC_DNA4_EVL,16-SEP-1992 17:17:46.27
    Wait for EVL link,16-SEP-1992 17:17:46.28
->  Connected to EVL,16-SEP-1992 17:18:20.68
    
    --------------------------------------------
    
    	Normally the when the message "Connected to EVL" apears,  
    everythings works fine.
    
    	But I don't understand why sometimes it gets connected to EVL
    and sometimes not.
    
    	Any ideas ?

3752.1---> mcc_dna4_evl connection <--JASPIE::BALLThu Sep 17 1992 15:5714
    Hi Antonio -
    	What usually happens is since no events are coming from evl you
    don't get a connection right away. Also system load is a factor.
    I usually will zero counters whenever I start up mcc_dna4_evl.
    I then get the connect message and all is fine...
    	If you want alittle detail basically at startup time
    mcc_dna4_evl sits and waits for vms evl to connect to it...

3752.2MONTEZ::MONTEZThe impossible takes a litle longer...Mon Sep 21 1992 18:5228
    Hi.
    
    re -1 
    	Thanks for your help.
                                                  
    Ok. Now I get allways the "connect" message, but I can't get notifications
    to work.
    
    For instance:
    
    	MCC> getevent node4 * circuit * aborted service request; WORKS !
    
    or an alarm rule
    
    	(OCCURS( node4 * circuit * aborted service request ) ) ; WORKS !
    
    but NOTIFICATIONS .. no way !
    
    I know that this is very strange, but what can I do...
    Does anyone have a MCC_STARTUP_DNA4_EVL.COM file to spare  :-)
    
    Is there any way to see, where the notifications are stuck ?

3752.3notification is sensitive to domain membershipMCC1::DITMARSPeteTue Sep 22 1992 14:409
Hi,

"GETEVENT node4 *"  and "OCCURS node4 *"  both ignore the domain(s) that
a node4 is in.

"NOTIFY domain foo entity list = (node4 *)" will only show you events from
node4 entities in domain "foo".

Is that the problem here?
3752.4MONTEZ::MONTEZThe impossible takes a litle longer...Tue Sep 22 1992 15:539
    Hi.
    
    I'm using "NOTIFY domain" in the correct domain.
    The DECnet router, DECmcc node and "error source" are both in the
    same domain ( where I have notify, and assign commands ).
    
    thanks

3752.5post some outputMCC1::DITMARSPeteTue Sep 22 1992 16:265
show us a getevent that works,
a "directory domain foo member *" that shows membership,
and a notify request that doesn't work

try it with no targeting
3752.6MONTEZ::MONTEZThe impossible takes a litle longer...Tue Sep 22 1992 19:2469
        Hi.
    
    	Ok ... I have started again from scratch...and guess what ? IT WORKS!!!
        Now I can receive any notification.
    	Well it works , but if I specify the correct event source node.
    	Example:  
    	     notif domain .x ent list (node4 *) even (any event) DOES NOT WORK!!
    	     notif domain .x ent list (node4 xxx) even (any event) WORKS !!
    	
    	I'm 50% happy :-) .
    
    	I'll try again (and again) for 100% success.
    
    	thanks for your help.
