DTSS messages

[David Lings]

How can I disable the hundreds/thousands of DTSS error messages been sent to the OpenVMS operator's log file:

Message from user SYSTEM on PROD20

There must be more. This is actually latter part of said message. I would have expected something like

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 26-JUN-2005 18:07:10.32 %%%%%%%%%%%

streamUid A5BCC659-D930-11D9-80BC-AA00040016CB

above segment of two OPCOM messages was due to termination of single $SET HOST/X29 session and I would block the said messages using

$ mc ncl bl e d o s * g f ((node,X25 access),Port terminated)


Long version of command is

$ mcr ncl block event dispatcher outbound stream * global filter ((node,x25 access),Port terminated)

I would copy
sys$manager:net$event_local.template to sys$common:[sysmgr]net$event_local.ncl and edit essentially above command with said ncl file and execute

$ mcr ncl @sys$manager:net$event_local


This said event is by no means related to DTSS but rather to X25 component.

A DTSS server send out the correct time. You don't have one.

[Veli Körkkö]

well, as I said already, THIS IS NOT DTSS MESSAGE. The key thing on the OPCOM message
is

" DTE Class=xot-class-0, "

This clearly tells me that we are dealing with X25 stuff.

And since X25 events are a bit long, they tend to get split to two OPCOM messages and here we are shown the LATTER OPCOM message containing somewhat less useful information. In my earlier reply the posted messages are from an actual

$ SET HOST/X29 dte-0.1

and after subsequent logout.

Thankyou,

yes you are correct :

these OPCOM messages appear in pairs.
And you correctly noted the first OPCOM message does inform that the message is to do with X.25 not DTSS.

Are these messages the equivalent of following UCX (TCPIP for OpenVMS) TELNET messages and can therefore be removed and ignored ?

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 26-MAY-2005 22:55:42.54 %%%%%%%%%%% (from node PROD11 at 26-MAY-2005 22:55:42.54)

If thats a normal end of call message for your X.25 network then you could block those messages. For examples of blocking messages sent via the DECnet/Plus event logger see SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE

[Veli Körkkö]

If you wish to get rid of those messages, the way to go is (as I said already) the "simple" ncl command:

$ mcr ncl block event dispatcher outbound stream * global filter ((node,x25 access),Port terminated)

I would copy

sys$manager:net$event_local.template

to

sys$common:[sysmgr]net$event_local.ncl

and edit essentially above command to said ncl file and execute

$ mcr ncl @sys$manager:net$event_local

and from there the change is permanent and even permanent over software upgrades since
the DECnet/Plus upgrade or reconfigure will not touch ...LOCAL.NCL files
