In the DECmcc_P4AM_USE_FINAL document, the documentation (page 3-4) says that
to display initial attributes in the permanent database, the command
SHOW NODE4 node_id ALL INITIAL ATTRIBUTES
should be used.
However, Table B (B-2), that compares NCP commands with DECmcc Phase4 AM
directives, says that to show initial attributes in the permanent database,
the following command should be used (equivalent to LIST in NCP):
SHOW...DATABASE=PERMANENT
Q #1: Is this a documentation error in TABLE B-2 ? or are you allowing both ?
Q #2: Is "INITIAL ATTRIBUTES" a bona-fide partition supported by the MSL
or is it modelled as an attribute group ?
Thanks in advance,
Phil
PS: I had deleted the NODE4 entity from my dictionary so I could not try it.

To show the permanent characteristics for Phase IV, use the attribute
partition of Initial Attributes. For certain commands other than show,
an additional argument is used on the command line to indicate the
type of database the specified action is to work on.
For example the Create and Delete entity commands. The commands will
take an optional argument called DATABASE. If not given, this
argument defaults to VOLATILE. Hence, this argument gives the user the
option of creating/deleting an entity in either the Permanent or
Volatile database.

| 347.2 | So it is a documentation error, right ? | BYBLOS::TAMER | Mon Sep 24 1990 15:06 | 19 | |
re .1
Thanks Cindy.
So table B-2 should have stated that the equivalent to LIST in NCP is
SHOW ... ALL INITIAL ATTRIBUTES
not
SHOW ... DATABASE=PERMANENT
right ?
As for CREATE/DELETE, the documentation was clear about the "DATABASE=PERMANENT"
optional argument.

YUP!!!
My guess is that Steve Jong should be made aware of this problem.
