196.1upgate your bridgeEMDS::SEAVERBill Seaver, HUBwatch MktgTue Apr 13 1993 01:233
    Your bridge code needs to be updated from 1.14 to 3.0 or 3.1.  
    
    see EMDS::MANAGEMENT:BRIDGE_LOAD.TXT
196.2Newer Version of Agent must be neededANGLIN::ORTHOBERTue Apr 13 1993 18:2233

	If you look closer, the bridge is at feprom V3.1.

	It turns out that the agent stops itself (literally stops
	running) the version that I had.

	I am copying over a new version right now for the agent and
	I'll try it out....

thanks

196.312-apr DECagent (DENMA) code does not workANGLIN::ORTHOBERTue Apr 13 1993 23:2115
	Well, I installed the 12-apr version and it
	does the same thing.  The code in the agent runs
	for about a minute and then dies and after power
	up it is simply not running.

	I went back to the V1.0 version and that seems
	to be working...

	How do I log this as a problem?  Who is developing
	this code that does not work?  Do I need a hardware
	upgrade?

thanks

196.4We really do want it to work, y'know!KALI::GAUDETThu Apr 15 1993 00:2116
    I'd probably be out of a job if my goal was to develop code that does
    not work.  However, if non-working code was the goal, I would have had
    a lot more time to read NOTES over the last 12 months.  And I probably
    wouldn't be reading this file at 8:15 p.m.  :-}
    
    With that said, perhaps you can provide some useful information which
    will help us figure out why your agent is not performing as expected.
    
    First, you are running a "fairly old" version of HUBwatch.  The latest
    kit is the "J" kit (T1.1.18).  You can find a pointer to this kit
    elsewhere in this file.  I have no reason to believe this will help
    your problem, but FYI.  Second, can you tell me what the version
    string says when you do a Show Module of the agent's slot at the agent
    console (or bring up the agent summary screen in HUBwatch)?
    
    ...Roger...  DECagent 90 devo.

196.6AGENT code works (now)ANGLIN::ORTHOBERWed Apr 21 1993 16:397
	Hi, Well just for grins I tried loading the latest agent
	code and now it works fine (x1.77).  The downloads must have failed
	for some reason the other times I did it.

thanks
