2204.0. "Where is MMF (Manage Master Files) ??" by TAV02::CHAIM (Semper ubi Sub ubi .....) Wed Feb 03 1993 08:37

What has happened to the MMF option that existed in SM uo through V2.4. 

We have a customer who has SCRIPT scripts which utilize this.

Thanks,

Cb.

2204.1Mostly didn't work or duplicated elsewhere...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed Feb 03 1993 09:1013
    Since half of it didn't work, and most of the rest of it was covered
    by other options (E,R etc.) in appropriate menus. E.g. MMF of PROFIL
    was done by SM MUA E etc. then we removed it.
    
    Unfortunately this left one or two things without menu interfaces, just
    leaving you to call the entry forms directly, so we did put some bits
    back later.
    
    What bits of MMF are they trying to use?

    PS Also discussed before I think.
2204.2They did read the CART report?AIMTEC::WICKS_AMUP(pets) coming to ALL-IN-1 soon?Wed Feb 03 1993 16:538
    Chaim,
    
    the CART should have flagged them as deleted base elements
    and the elements that call them in status D.

2204.3In customer documentation ..???TAV02::CHAIMSemper ubi Sub ubi .....Thu Feb 04 1993 11:195
Has this been documented in any of the documents which the customer receives?

Thanks,

Cb.
2204.4Isn't the CART report documentation enough?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeThu Feb 04 1993 13:1212
    I don't know if we specifically announced that we were removing MMF,
    but since, as I said in .1, we only removed bits that didn't work,
    whilst other parts were provided by the relevant SM submenus, I don't
    see that the removal of MMF counts as a removal of function that we
    need to specifically spell out in the SPD, like we did when the old TM
    interface was removed.
    
    As Andy says, the removed files will have been (assuming I built the
    data file right!!) spcified in the CART report, but since we deleted
    408 files by my calculations, I don't think we could have listed them
    all in the documentation. This is, after all, the sort of information
    that the CART was intended to provide.
2204.5CART is NOT enough ...TAV02::CHAIMSemper ubi Sub ubi .....Thu Feb 04 1993 13:4512
I believe that any menu function which has been discarded should be documented
in the release notes. CART does NOT tell you this information, and I don't
think it is reasonable to expect a system manager to deduce that if CART
told him that form MMF is no longer used that this means that menu function MMF
no longer exists.

In this case the system manager had several UDPs of his own which utilize MMF,
and I believe he has every right to be upset.

Thanks,

Cb.
2204.6Sorry...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeFri Feb 05 1993 11:027
    Well send the customer my apologies...
    
    Large numbers of menu options changed position and names on the SM
    screens, so I imagine a load of UDPs will have been broken. MMF is just
    one of them.
