486.0. "Utilities to extract from DNS" by BSYBEE::EGOLF (John C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874) Thu Nov 22 1990 15:37

	We had  a  request  to  be  able  to "copy a namespace from one
	machine to another".   We looked into DNS to see if there was a
	way to do it  and couldn't find a way.  We had somebody, during
	the hours of midnight and  5:00 in the morning, create a set of
	command files to "read" the data  out  of  DNS  and construct a
	DECmcc command file that could be used  to  load  the data into
	another namespace (or the same if it later became corrupted).

	Listed  below  are pointers to these command files.    The  are
	unsupported,  and  not perfect in all aspects although they  do
	seen to work.  If interested, give them a try.    As  noted  in
	previous note when upgrading from IFT to EFT, Domains will need
	to  be recreated and reloaded.

486.1Rebuild all or part of namespace?? re: 485 and 486CEBADA::MCCLELLANDOff in the ETHERnetThu Dec 06 1990 18:5213
I think I have carefully read the release notes and installation guide for the
external field test of DECmcc 1.1 and I can not find any references to
rebuilding all or part of the namespace.  Could you clarify the need to rebuild
all or part of the namespace?

BTW, I did run the procedures to save the namespace before upgrading to EFT 1.1,
and attempted to run the resulting procedures against the system with errors
about entity already exists.  I seem to be able to access most of my registered
systems via my maps and domains all created in IFT 1.1.

Thanks,

John

	John,

	You know the old expression, "If it ain't broke...".  

	The EFT version of DECmcc has had changes in the way the Domain
	members are stored  (so we could store many more).  We, here in
	engineering, found that we  couldn't access some domain members
	when upgrading from IFT to EFT.

	If you're up and running,  leave things alone.  If you run into
	problems  with  domains  and/or  domain  members,   delete  all
	existing domains
	MCC> DELETE DOMAIN *
	and  then  load the command procedure created  by  the  extract
	program.

Node BSYBEE has left with its owner, and is now in a hidden area.
If you think you are reaching it, your DECnet databse is probably out
of date.

Please see the NOTED::MCC-TOOLS conference for up to date
information on DECmcc utilities.
