3984.0. "osi transport problem on decnet/osi 6.3 eco 6" by GPLSYS::LAGORI (_- G.P.L. ....e` ecologico -_) Mon Jun 02 1997 14:19

Hi all,
we have a problem with our customer (Ced-Borsa), about 
Osi transport, after we upgraded from decnet/Osi 6.2 Eco 8 to
6.3 Eco 6 on some Vax-vms clusters.

The problem happens when we use the stack osi (transport TP4)
and NOT if we use the stack nsp (transport NSP).

For example if we use 
$ dir dscbe1::a.txt      or 
$ dir Net$490005AA000400981421::a.txt  
we get the error,            ==
else if we use
$ dir Net$490005AA000400981420::a.txt   
we don't get any error.      ==
(the detail of the error is on the next page)

As workaround we have suggest to the customer to remove the 
Tower with transport 21 from the "Decnet_register" database, to
force the system to use the nsp transport.

Somebody can give us any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

*****************************************************************
Following is the detailed error situation and the display of the 
Ncl settings.
*****************************************************************


We created this command file to spawn many subprocess.
$TYPE TEST.COM
 ------------
$AA:
$DIR DSCBE1::a.txt
$GOTO AA


If we give the following commands, we can cause the problem.

$ spawn/nowa @TEST
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process FIELD_1 spawned
$ spawn/nowa @TEST
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process FIELD_2 spawned
$ spawn/nowa @TEST
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process FIELD_3 spawned
$ spawn/nowa @TEST
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process FIELD_4 spawned
$ spawn/nowa @TEST
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process FIELD_5 spawned
$ spawn/nowa @TEST
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process FIELD_6 spawned
$

A.TXT;9    
Total of 1 file.

Directory DSCBE1::SYS$COMMON:[FAL$SERVER]
A.TXT;9

...and so on for about 20 times, then we get the following error

%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening DSCBE1::A.TXT;* as input
-RMS-E-FND, ACP file or directory lookup failed
-SYSTEM-F-LINKEXIT, network partner exited

After some subprocess error we stop all
CTRL-Y

$ stop
