I have a few questions regarding the use of the MIR:
Our group (DECtrade) has a Management component that we currently use
to manage our distributed application, as well as other applications
added to the system by us, customer, etc. We're currently
looking into using MCC as a (potentially partial) replacement for
our own Management.
As a first step, somebody had the idea to start by adding in the MIR and
its functions into our system. We currently have no similar concept to
the MIR within DECtrade Management. My questions are:
- is it possible or sensible to just use a piece of MCC? If we
can't just use the MIR "by itself" what other MCC support needs
to be included in our applications?
- If we do just use a piece of MCC, will it make it any harder to
use other aspects of MCC down the line?
- I've been doing *some* research into MCC and remember reading
about private repositories - would we be confined to private
repositories or is there some way to use the "global" repository
without getting too bogged down in the rest of MCC?
- aside from what's in the SRM, what would be some suggested
reading that would help me understand this?
I hope these questions make sense. I'd appreciate any help at all!
Thanks,
Lynne Philpot

| 87.1 | callable MCC might be it | GOSTE::CALLANDER | Wed Mar 28 1990 17:35 | 22 | |
No your questions make plenty of sence. Unluckily some of that reading
you asked to be pointed to it not yet ready. One prime piece of
information which we are still working on (Pete Burgess is writting)
is an ECO to the SRM describing what we have termed, callable MCC.
This would allow you to make use of the MCC features via a callable
interface. In doing this you could make use of as much or as little
of MCC as you want. It also opens things up, allowing you to add
on later, and make use of more MCC features as you deem fit.
As mentioned in a previous note the callable MCC ECO should be
available reasonably soon. If you believe that it might be useful
please post additional queries here.
As to the details of all your questions, "bogged" down is subjective.
Your options range from writting a plug in module (Function
or Access) that communicates to MCC and your DECtrade management
application, to the use of the callable MCC interface. All depends
on your needs.

| 87.2 | INFO - pointers to other notes | GOSTE::CALLANDER | Fri Mar 30 1990 16:13 | 15 | |
The note I was refering to, in the previous response, was note number
83 by Marc Flauw. In note 83.3 Peter Burgess explains a tiny bit about
how to use callable mcc, while the SRM explains the routines provided
by MCC.
For more information on MCC you should read the MCC general description
(a pointer is in note 57.4). This will help explain just what in MCC
might meet your needs.
To really help define how you can best use MCC a better description of
your goals/requirements is needed.
