Well, personal opinion, is that you should get yourself a registered
code. But...as to your problem you can always get around registering
by simply NOT registering your entity. The FCL PM does not require
that an entity be registered to enter commands against it. The only
stipulation is that you use the primary identifier that is recognized
by the entity. Like using the address of a bridge and not a name
(which needs to be registered).

| 212.2 | How to get a code? | COOKIE::KITTELL | Richard - Architected Info Mgmt | Mon Aug 06 1990 19:22 | 6 |

I've tried sending mail to DSSR::REGISTER and asking what the procedure
is to register a global entity or directive (there *must* be a form to
fill out...).
No response. Can anyone help?

| You did the right thing, DSSR::REGISTER is the place to go. Bug Bob for
a reply if you don't get one quickly.
The basic answer is write a description of the overall global entity,
what sort it is, what its for and such (I don't know if Bob has a form for
that). Bob will pass that around to other implementors and to me as keeper
of the global entities to make sure it doesn't collide with some other
architect/developer doing the same thing.

PS By the way, other MCC AM developers haven't yet submitted their global
entities for review. I expect them all to be rubber stamped, but there's a
bit of formal process to be covered.

Bob sent me mail. Going back to the topic of the base note, I think the
asnwer is, "you don't get codes until your whole management spec is reviewed
and accepted".
As a complete novice at this I want to try a lot of it before settling on
how I want to do it. Submitting such MSLs would be wasting everyone's time.
So as long as I keep to my own name space and don't collide with anything
already in the dictionary (DAP tells me when I do), I'll make up my codes
and experiment away.
I'm glad to see that there is a formal review mechanism in place, that will
give me more confidence that my MSL is reasonable.

I believe (hope!) you misinterpreted Bob's reply. I am fairly sure he will
be willing to assign you a global entity code as soon as you need one (there
is no shortage of them!). Lower level codes do, indeed, require some sort
of specification (although it shouldn't need to be too formal). Of course,
ideally you will have your spec and it can all be reviewed at once.
The assignment of the codes and the incorporation of the MSL into the DSSR
library can happen at different times (although codes won't be assigned
until the registration process is at least started).
