217.0. "Icon for NODE please?" by FORTY2::MELLING (Chris Melling @REO. 830-4528) Tue Jul 31 1990 05:39

When running the Iconic Map PM (BMS2X011), I get the error message 

mrtie:2� man/ent/int=dec

 No input bitmaps found for Node
.
.
.

and sure enough there's no icon for NODE in the toolbox.

Is there an icon for NODE somewhere .... I'd really like to manage NODEs from 
Iconic Map PM.

Thanks

Chris

	Please clarify... by NODEs, I assume you mean phase V entities?
217.2	yes .. sorry .. I should have said .. I mean DECnet-OSI (Phase V) NODEs	FORTY2::MELLING	Chris Melling @REO. 830-4528	`Tue Jul 31 1990 12:06`	0
217.3	Phase v nodes not offically supported but...	BARREL::LEMMON		`Tue Jul 31 1990 12:56`	15
	There are some known bugs in the phasev access module which break the iconic map. For example, you would not be able to "look into" a node because the am doesn't handle wildcarding correctly (e.g., SHOW NODE xyz LINE *). If you wish to experiment with it you can copy the file SYS$COMMON:[MCC]:MCC_NODE4_ICON.DAT to SYS$COMMON:[MCC]MCC_NODE_ICON.DAT The toolkit will now contain the NODE icon (which clearly will look the same as the NODE4 icon because it was copied). Please do not post any QARs when dealing with the phaseV NODE entity from the iconic map. We know there are problems and are currently working them out. /Jim
217.4	All icons for supported entities are on the kit	MAVIC::D_MOORE		`Thu Aug 09 1990 10:19`	29
	Icons have been provided on the kit for all supported entities. Phase V and SNMP are currently no supported entities as far as the V1.1 components, Domain and Iconic Map are concerned These entities are supported by FCL but are not yet supported for the Iconic Map and Domain. The message "No input bitmaps found for Node" indicated that the DECmcc V1.0 UT1.0.1 dictionary contains the Node entity for Phase V but that no icon was found for this class. When DECmcc is brought up with the Iconic Map PM, we go to the dictionary to find out what entities are there, and then look for icons for those entities. The "No input bitmaps found for xxx" is an informational message only. In a subsequent field test release we will be supporting SNMP and Phase V. The problem at this time is a matter of testing and dependencies. As Jim pointed out, there is a V1.0 restriction for Phase V in not supporting wildcarded SHOW for all subentity levels. Since the Iconic Map requires this, this will be addressed as a V1.1 dependency for Phase V. With SNMP, more testing is necessary. As far as new entities are concerned, we are supporting that now. If you are adding a new AM or FM to the system and want to use it from the Iconic Map, you must (1) meet the service requirements as used by the Iconic Map and Domain (REGISTER, wildcard SHOW for all subentities, ...) and (2) add a global entity icon for your entity. I will be adding a note shortly explaining these requirements in more detail. - Dave
