DIR/FTP, Phase 1 Integration compliant ..not been installed

YJTAN — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:32:46 GMT

Hi,

We have a problem on DIR/FTP, on only one of our nodes. We have more than 30 RX4640s ( OpenVMS 8.3 with the same patch level ). It must be something that we have done on that particular node than caused the problem.

I have done "SHOW SYM DIR*" and "SHOW SYM COP*" on that node. Nothing is defined.

I will check if there is anything in SYLOGIN.COM of that node that is different from other nodes.

********************************************

The node with the problem:

CSP101$ dir/ftp csp101"system password"::welcome.txt
A Phase 1 Integration compliant OpenVMS TCP/IP product has not been
installed or properly configured on this system.
%SYSTEM-E-UNSUPPORTED, unsupported operation or function
CSP101$

********************************************
The node without problem :

CSP001$ dir/ftp csp101"system password"::welcome.txt

Directory CSP101"system password"::

SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]WELCOME.TXT;1

********************************************

COPY/FTP has the same problem. However, manual FTP is fine. I could do PUT or GET and other commands without any problem.

It's looking for the following logicals to be defined:
OPENVMS$FTP
OPENVMS$FTPDIR
OPENVMS$FTPDEL

What TCP/IP stack are you using on the system? Do you have FTP configured as a client on the system?

First, please identify and confirm the IP stack and its version and ECO level. Ensure that whatever IP stack is installed here is current.

There are various ECOs for OpenVMS I64, and the various IP stacks can also have ECOs. Load these as a preemptive measure.

Ensure that the ftp client has been configured. (If this is TCP/IP Services, a failure to configure the ftp client can sometimes almost work; it mostly operates, but has strange failures.)

Do also ensure that the IP stack has been started, and that the system startup and IP startup are not logging relevant errors. There have been cases where a startup failed part way through, and left the system in an indeterminate state.

10 points ! Richard. Thanks.

OPENVMS$FTP, OPENVMS$FTPDIR were missing.
I redefined the logicals, everything is fine now.

By the way, we are running v5.6 - ECO1. Will upgrade soon.

Thanks everyone.

I see those logicals are defined in
TCPIP$FTP_CLIENT_STARTUP.COM

so wonder if Hoff is right (again :-)

OPENVMS$FTPDEL was there.
