Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

    Shame on you Terry, have you forgotten England so soon? Of course you
    know that MCC stands for Marylebone Cricket Club, the ruling body of
    baseball when it's played by the proper rules....
    
    But I digress - MCC stands for Management Control Cent{re|er} and it's
    an enterprise wide network management thingy. The FCS needed some bits
    of code out of MCC, but since MCC makes ALL-IN-1's image look like a
    five line BASIC program, it was thought wiser to lift the code that the
    FCS needed and make some small private images.
    
    I seem to recall there was a more extensive discussion early on in
    DIAMONDFT which you might like to filter the interesting bits out of
    and bring here.

    Hi there!
    
    	The SYS$LIBRARY/SYS$SHARE thing is a mistake I think. There used
    	to be places where the FCS did IF .not.installed(SYS$LIBRARY:thingy)
    	THEN INSTALL SYS$SHARE:thingy.
    
    	I think the assumption was, that SYS$LIBRARY and SYS$SHARE were the
    	same place, which they usually are, but the assumption caused
    	confusing messages where they weren't. All the places in the code
    	that I have seen that assumed this have been fixed, I guess its
    	time to set to work on the documentation. :-) QAR please.
    
    Regards,
    Paul

Re: .1

Graham, Thanks for the info, but I searched the whole of DIAMONDFT for MCC and
did not find anything that described what MCC was used for or what the logical
name MCC_TDF is for.

I did find a note in the ABBOTT::A1_FILE_CABINET_SERVER conference that hinted
that MCC_TDF was related to time offset from GMT, but did not give a full
explanation.

Can anyone explain the use of the logical and what the FCS uses MCC for, not
necessarily a detailed description but enough to be able to sound as though
I know what I'm talking about when a customer asks what these images are for.

I'll also ask the same question in the FCS conference.

Re: .2

Paul, Do you really want a QAR against an FCS document that is not part of the
DIAMOND doc set? I'll happily do it but I wanted to check that a QAR to IOSG
was the best way first.

Paul,

I'll QAR it at P4, and I'm sure it will eventually find it's way to the
correct group. Of course by then they will have written a whole new installation
guide for the next version ... ;^}

    Terry,
    
    I think in another note about the FCS and MCC you asked (or someone
    did) what the logical MCC_TDF stood for.  Well here it is.
    
    it stands for Time Difference from GMT. You can either define it to
    the real value or 0. It is used internally by the threads package to
    coordinate stuff. Basically from what I am told there is no real use
    for it so either define to 0 or the real GMT difference, it won't 
    matter.

Bob,

Thanks for researching this.
