DECnet-OSI and OSIF on VMS on IA64 Itanium

[CA1296764]

Hi,

Has anyone had success running the
OSIF_API_EXAM.EXE and OSIF_API_RESP.EXE test programs delivered with DECnet-OSI ?

I've compiled them and then run, but OSIF_API_EXAM.EXE just hangs with the following.....

$ run OSIF_API_EXAM.EXE
FTAM API example initiator starting
initializing connection...

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Did you see the remarks in the MACRO department of the source ?
You need to set some stuff before compiling.

Thanks for the reply.

Is this in the OSIF_API_EXAM.C source or elsewhere?

I'll take a look this morning

Many thanks

Hi again,

I am using the defaults and running both programs on the same VMS host, so the defaults should work.

Has anyone had this working on Itanium ?

Regards
John.

I used http://starlet.deltatel.ru/sys$examples/osif_api_exam.c (no 8.2 available).

Are the names used in the example known by your name server ?

(Just guessing as long as no better advice comes by)

Hi again,

I think the code is written to use the loopback addresses so names don't come into it.....

I have some other FTAM API code that I am porting to Itanium and would like to get confidence that the API works as expected.

The DCL FTAM commands work fine, but the FTAM code I have doesn't work out of the box.....
The problems look like structures and MALLOC issues in the C code.

Still hunting the bugs.....

Many thanks
