Re: SLP configuration issue

Veeresh,

Its not mandatory to run SLP service if SLP is enabled in cimserver. 
Please open a bug with the traces attached when this problem happens. This 
problem seems to be specific to windows.

Subject:        SLP configuration issue



Hi All
I am building CIMOM with SLP enabled for windows platform.  I used the 
following build options. 
 
set PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP=true
set PEGASUS_USE_OPENSLP=true
set 
PEGASUS_EXTERNAL_SLP_HOME=C:/smis-op-provider/src/openslp-1.2.1/openslp-1.2.1/win32/libslp
 
While building I was not able to build SLPProvider.dll as it was not able 
to link . I guess the make file was not correct for windows. So I changed 
the make find as below.
---------
SOURCES = peg_slp_agent.cpp
 
include $(ROOT)/mak/library.mak
 
ifeq ($(OS_TYPE),windows)
    SYS_LIBS = ws2_32.lib advapi32.lib
    SYS_LIBS += /libpath:$(PEGASUS_EXTERNAL_SLP_HOME)/lib slp.lib  <ß This 
is the line added to makefile for build to succeed.**** 
endif
 
run:
                Server $(REPOSITORY_ROOT)
-------------------
With this I am able to build CIMOM with slp enabled.
Now, If I start the CIMOM service when the SLP service is running . 
Everything works just fine. The CIMOM registers to SLP and able to see the 
ports of CIMOM service running  through slptool
But , If I start the CIMOM service when SLP service is not running  then I 
see the CIMOM service is stopping immediately . Wondering why CIMOM 
service should stop if SLP is not running. I cannot send the traces as 
attachment due to size limit.
 
1.       Is this  makefile change required for building SLP on Windows 
platform? I  guess its working fine on Linux platforms.
2.       Is it  mandatory to run SLP service if SLP is enabled in CIMOM? 
Or is it a bug in CIMOM on windows platform.
 
 
Thank in advance
