Issue/Introduction

I created a custom NCM script for Alcatel devices, but the following error is displayed:

SPC-OCC-10746: The operation failed. SPC-NCM-20007: Capture Running Script Returned Error [252]: Connection error: Use of uninitialized value $login_output in concatenation (.) or string at C:\Windows\TEMP\script_17 line 103.

Host xx.xx.xx.xxx:
Login has failed. Output:

Environment

Release : 10.4.1

Component : Spectrum Applications

Cause

Open SSH embedded in DX Spectrum 10.3.1 onward has the ssh-dss disabled.

Resolution

Add the following in the $SPECROOT/NT-Tools/SRE/home/_nimsoft/.ssh/config file:
