[HECnet] HECnet Area Request

If you are running VMS then contact me offline and I will give you a copy of my "field-test" procedures that maintain DECnet databases. It makes use of MIM::[DECNET]NODENAMES.DAT. It will NOT update your area! This is because some areas have VMS clusters and there is no guarantee that LANACP is used for communications. If DECnet is used these procedures will corrupt satellite node information in the DECnet database for that cluster. It does REQUIRE that SCSSYSTEMID matches the (<area>*1024)+<node>. So if you have changed areas but have not updated SCSSYSTEMID the procedure will NOT work. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Johnny Billquist Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 13:54 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Cc: Ian McLaughlin Subject: Re: [HECnet] HECnet Area Request On 2013-01-29 19:48, Ian McLaughlin wrote: Johnny Did you manage to fix the problem with mim not reporting the full node list? It's about time I grabbed an updated copy (with all of the new additions) but I didn't want to grab something that was corrupt. I've been fighting MIM about that, but for some reason it just will not cooperate. I have two solutons for you: 1. Copy each area as individual commands (MIM knows it all, it just seems that the list of known nodes does not list all known nodes now. Bug in NCP methinks at this point...) 2. Grab MIM::US:[DECNET]FIX.CMD which contains all the DEFINE commands for NCP for all the nodes, and run it in NCP on your machine. I can create command files in other formats easily if there are any special requests. Just let me know...

I will likely do that as well. Several areas already do that. :-) Excellent. :-) Would you please remove "GW" at 61.1 and add "A61RTR" as 61.1023? Sign me up for that as well. Please add A52RTR as 52.1023 Done.
