299.0. "Map and disappearing icons" by EEMELI::VALTONEN () Fri Aug 31 1990 09:27

    What can cause icons to disappear from the map?
    
    I've a few own background maps with one of these I always
    lose icons (tested both with DOMAINs and NODE4 icons).
    After exiting from MCC the object is surely defined 
    in MCC$_<domain>.dat file.
    Can this be caused by bug (some strange definition in the background
    map)?

	When you create a map file it is written to the location pointed to by the logical mcc_maps, which by default will be the directory you were in when you started mcc. If you then start mcc from a different directory it will not locate the map file that had previously been written, and will instead auto-place the domain members in the window with the default icons. To get over this I suggest you redefine mcc_maps to point to single common directory, and then copy over all the map files into this one location. Ian
299.2	Read mccbms2x011 release notes page 2-7	HERON::MORALES	DEC:.VBO.EIS.Telecom.DTN828-5383	`Fri Aug 31 1990 18:50`	15
	if using the FCL you get an error doing "SHO DOMAIN domain_name MEMBERS *" then a member of this domain has been deregistered without being removed from the domain. To find it, try $MC DNS$CONTROL DNSCP> sho domain_name attribute dns$members You'll have to register again that member to see all the other members. Hope this helps. Manuel.

299.4	Cleanup was succesful	EEMELI::VALTONEN		`Mon Sep 03 1990 11:03`	10
	Thanks a lot Manuel, my DNS Group <Domain> was totally messed up. Removing all the garbage with DNS$CONTROL brought the icon back to map. This garbage was obviously caused by failure in adding entities to domain ie. MCC access violations caused only partially added entities. I'll hope that this doesn't happen with SDC versions... Olli
299.5	We are not this problem, could you give more details.	TOOK::A_MOORE		`Wed Sep 05 1990 18:30`	18
	Thank you for taking the time to report an MCC problem. We are unable to duplicate the problem you reported. The next step, is to try get more information until we can reproduce or identify the problem. Except for creating directories and protections DNS$control should not need to be invoked. (and note 292) There certainly should not any corruption or access violations. We can take this offline as it may go multiple iterations. Al Have you tried the basic trouble shooting described in Note 228.0? What versions of MCC and its components you are using? What is the smallest set of commands that will reproduce the problem?
299.6	Problems fixed in X1.1.0	EEMELI::VALTONEN		`Thu Sep 27 1990 07:49`	7
	Sorry for not answering earlier. It was question only on icon map problems (T1.1.0) and those seem to be fixed now. As X1.1.0 came out the problems vanished. This version pretty nicely tells that 'Filtering occured' for old or non-existent domains etc. Also it doesn't save any more the wrong info in the map file.
