37.0. "RBMS data to MIR" by DELNI::ASULLIVAN () Fri Jan 05 1990 16:21

    I need some help to import our RBMS data into MCC MIR.  In the 
    Introduction Manual on page 5-4 last paragraph which state as follows:
    
    If you are currently using Digital's Remote Bridge Management Software
    (RBMS), you can import the RBMS data into the MIR.
    
    Can some tell me how?  Neither the copy or the import command work
    within MCC.  Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

37.1Help is on the way...ALLZS::MORRISONThe Network IS the SystemMon Jan 08 1990 09:077
    I'm working on the program to assist in the importation of RBMS data into
MCC "even as we speak".  It's not done yet, but if the necessary support is
added to the rest of MCC (bridge name support), then it should be ready by
external field test.  The program will create a .COM file which is a series
of MCC commands to reproduce the information from the RBMS database(s).

    Is the non-support of bridge names the reason why I cannot register
    my bridges? I tried the following command :
    
    MCC>REGISTER BRIDGE TOTO 08-00-2B-08-54-FF
    
    and get an "invalid entity identifier" message.

    Yes, this is part of the reason (problems in other pieces of MCC
    also prevented bridge NAME support in IFT).

>   I tried the following command :
>   MCC>REGISTER BRIDGE TOTO 08-00-2B-08-54-FF
          
    The proper syntax for registering a bridge will be :
    
    MCC>REGISTER BRIDGE name ADDRESS={address[,address]}
    
    as in: REGISTER BRIDGE TOTO ADDRESS={08-00-2B-08-54-FF}
    
    Hope this helps.

    This syntax does make more sense. I just followed what is in the
    documentation (pages 2-4 & 2-5 of the "Bridge AM Module Use").

37.5REGISTER Syntax ChangingCHRISB::BRIENENChristopher J. BrienenThu Apr 19 1990 18:1021
    A change in the Register syntax is being made for the EFT Update
    version of DECmcc.
    
    The datatype for the ADDRESS argument is changing from SET OF ID802
    to ID802.                    --------
    
    What this means: 
    
    1) No curly braces will be required around the Bridge Address
       (e.g. REGISTER BRIDGE TOTO ADDRESS=08-00-2B-08-54-FF)
    
    2) Only one address can be specified (Bridge AM will acquire any
       others automatically from the target bridge)
    
    3) Register directive's ADDRESS argument datatype will match that
       of STATION
    
    Note that the Address Identifier attribute's datatype will remain
    (as planned, not as implemented in EFT) SET OF ID802.

37.6are curly braces allowed?DSTEG::HUGHESFri Apr 20 1990 09:408
    Chris,
    	Your last note said that no curly braces will be required around
    the bridge address on a register. Will they be allowed? or will I have
    to change all my test scripts again?
    
    Linda
    
    
37.7Nope. Not allowed.CHRISB::BRIENENChristopher J. BrienenFri Apr 20 1990 10:158
    Sorry, but they will not be allowed.
    
    It should be fairly straightforward to write a procedure that would
    modify all of your REGISTER BRIDGE commands to remove the curly
    braces...
    
    BTW, have you considered the impact of the DECmcc command syntax
    change on your scripts (i.e. MCC -> MANAGE/ENTERPRISE...)

       Should work, tell me if it doesn't.

37.9sorry, not allowedTOOK::HAOFri Apr 20 1990 13:467
    Linda,
    
    the curly braces aren't allowed.  Jill mistakenly thought you were
    talking about entity identifier.

37.10mcc vs manage/enterpriseDSTEG::HUGHESFri Apr 20 1990 13:577
    re .7
    
    As for the change from MCC to Manage/enterprise, we haven't done
    anything because it works both ways. Is that going to change?
    
    Linda
    
37.11old cld going awayGOSTE::CALLANDERSun Apr 22 1990 17:447
    
    Yes it is going away with EFT update.
