169.0. "PROBLEM: IVP of EFTU fails" by FORTY2::MELLING (Chris Melling @REO. 830-4528) Fri Jul 06 1990 06:59

... and so I reran the IVP command procedure with verify, yielding the
following:  (This is just the bit which failed.)

$!
$!
$!
$! IVP FOR DAP
$ MANAGE/TOOLKIT/DICTIONARY SHOW VERSION
%LIB-F-DELTIMREQ, delta time required, absolute time supplied
mrtie� show log mcc_tdf
   "MCC_TDF" = "+1:00" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

Anyone any ideas on this?

All of the other tests in this MCC_DIR_IVP.COM command procedure run fine.  Its
only this test which fails.

Chris

PS  I'm about to install the toolkit too .. maybe this'll help.

169.1How can I get DAP to work?FORTY2::MELLINGChris Melling @REO. 830-4528Mon Jul 09 1990 08:0714
OK, I installed the toolkit succesfully.

And I compiled my MSL, but now I want to add it to the dictionary, but
MANAGE/TOOLKIT/DICTIONARY still fails with the error:

mrtie:2� manage/toolkit/dict
%LIB-F-DELTIMREQ, delta time required, absolute time supplied
mrtie:2�

So, anyone any ideas on whats happening here, and how I can get DAP to run?

Thanks

Chris
169.2Yes, it is an arthropodTOOK::GUERTINWherever you go, there you are.Mon Jul 09 1990 09:0415
    Chris,
    
    Apparently, there is a bug in the MCC Time initialization code when the
    TDF is set to a positive number.  An error is always returned when the
    TDF is positive, however, only DAP signals it, the other components
    (e.g., MCC) do NOT signal it, and therefore it does not get displayed.
    
    The major use of the TDF value is for sharing of data between time zones
    (or multi-time-zone communication) between cooperating MCCs.  Since most
    sites do not do these types of things (in fact, Distributed MCC is not
    available yet), setting the TDF to a negative number is usually safe.
    
    Set the TDF to "-1:00" and you should work fine.
    
    -Matt.
