[Info-vax] Migrate DECnet Phase IV task to Phase V

[Peter Weaver]

I'm working with a client to move a DECnet Phase IV task on an old VAX that is being shutdown to an Alpha running Phase V.

In Phase IV I would create the user, then define/set the object like this;
define object xyz file sys$sysdevice:[abc]xyz.com user abc password z
set object xyz file sys$sysdevice:[abc]xyz.com user abc password z

In Phase V I seem to be missing something.

The target Alpha has the client VAX defined in DECNET_REGISTER as a Phase IV address. The VAX has the Alpha defined in NCP.

>From the VAX I do
$  Open/read netchan alpha””::”TASK=xyz”
I get;
  %DLC-E-OPENIN, error opening alpha””::”TASK=xyz” as input
-RMS-E-ACC, ACP file access failed
-SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN, login information invalid at remote node

When that happens I see “Event: Access Control Violation from: Node LOCAL:.alpha Session Control” in OPERATOR.lOG.

In SYS$MANAGER:NET$APPLICATION_STARTUP.NCL  there is a line “SET NODE 0 SESSION CONTROL APPLICATION TASK ADDRESSES = {NAME=TASK}” that was put in when Phase V was installed 20 years ago.

I'm not sure if I have to add something to a .NCL file somewhere to get the task to work in Phase V.

Does anyone know if there are any other steps to add a Phase IV task to Phase V?
