Balamurali,

I currently don't have the infrastructure available to test this, but can you please check this:

Can you connect to WEBES/SEA on your Alpha server using your WEB browser:

http://ip-name-or-address-of-your-alpha:7902/

Balamurali,

once you add a node in WEBES (on your Windows System), it starts trying to connect to port 7920 on that (remote) node. This port should be offered by the WCCproxy process on your Alpha server:

Does $ TCPIP SHO PORT list that local port number on your Alpha Server ?

Correction:

Does $ TCPIP SHO DEVICE list that local port number 7920 on your Alpha Server ?

Balamurali,

in my case, it didn't work because WCCProxy was not running on the Alpha Server. After I fixed that, adding the node to the System Event Analyzer Default Group worked fine and the System Log, Real Time Monitoring and Full View symbols showed up after some moments.

If it works, there seems to be at least one TCP connection between the Alphaserver and SEA/WEBES on the Windows XP system.

Dear Volker,

Balamurali,

you don't need to start any 'services' on your Windows XP system. Just start the DESTA Director - but it should start by default during boot.

Same on OpenVMS: the DESTA Director process should be started automatically using SYSMAN when booting your OpenVMS Alpha server.

$ SHOW SYSTEM should show the following processes:

- DESTA Director
- WCCProxy
- also possibly some CA.A.nnn.nnnn processes

The startup file for WCCPROXY and DESTA should be present in:

$ MC SYSMAN STARTUP SHOW FILE

You can manually start both components by invoking their startup files:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:WCCPROXY$STARTUP.COM
$ @SYS$STARTUP:DESTA$STARTUP.COM

Once started (check with SHOW SYSTEM), you should also see the following TCPIP BG port devices with $ TCPIP SHOW DEVICE

port 7901, 7902 and 7903 owned by DESTA Director
port 7920 owned by WCCProxy

Use SHOW DEV/FULL BGxx to find BG device owner.

If any of these ports or processes are missing, WEBES did not start correctly and we'll have to find out what's wrong...

Does the DESTA Director run on your Windows PC, i.e. can you connect to http://localhost:7902 on your PC ?
