Remove Proxy with /Permanent option

Hari Shankar S — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:57:24 GMT

Whenever I try to REMOVE a communication PROXY from the TCPIP$PROXY using the /PERMANENT option, it gives me the following error:

TCPIP> remove proxy system /permanent
%TCPIP-E-PROXYERROR, error processing proxy request
-TCPIP-E-INVQUAL, invalid qualifier value for /PERMANENT

What is the reason for this? Can this be avoided? If so, how?

HI,

don't use the /permanent qualifier , it seems to work ok without !?

TCPIP> ADD PROX SYSTEM/REMOTE=SYSTEM/HOST=PDCWK2/PERM
TCPIP> SHOW PROX/PERM

VMS User_name Type User_ID Group_ID Host_name

SYSTEM C SYSTEM PDCWK2
TCPIP> REM PROX "SYSTEM"

VMS User_name Type User_ID Group_ID Host_name

SYSTEM C SYSTEM PDCWK2
Remove? [N]:Y
TCPIP> SHOW PROX/PERM
%TCPIP-E-PROXYERROR, error processing proxy request
-TCPIP-W-NORECORD, information not found
-RMS-E-RNF, record not found

Thank you for the prompt response. I know that it works without /Permanent but I want it to work with it. At least tell me a reason why it doesnt work with it.

The TCPIP> HELP REMO PROX _suggests_ it is optional. That specifying it would ONLY remove the permanent record, and maybe not the active in memory data.
I guess they never actually implemented that.
So REM PROX does everything REM PRO/PERM would have done, and more.

fwiw,
Hein.

Thank you, Hein. Is there any way to confirm whether this feture was implemented or not?

If I wanted to remove the entry from just the permanent database and leave it in the volatile database for this session, is there any way to do it?

FYI:

That provision was not implemented in OpenVMS. The documentation for that will be removed from the Help pages from the next version.
