576.0. "where is children info?" by JETSAM::WOODCOCK () Thu Dec 20 1990 14:18

Hi,

When a user double clicks on an entity, MCC retrieves child entity
info and presents it. Does MCC retrieve this info from the entity at 
that time, or is this info stored in DNS from the original registration?

thanks,
brad...

    from my understanding, I though that registered entities came
    from the stored values, while those children that are not registered
    are queried from the entity.
    
    Jim Lemmon, or Pat is this right?

The Iconic Map just goes to the dictionary, retrieves all of the MCC child
entities, and then does a SHOW MCC 0 <child> * ALL IDENTIFIERS for each one
it finds.

It doesn't know (or care) where the information is comming from.    

576.3and the answer is...JETSAM::WOODCOCKFri Jan 04 1991 18:2319
For my own peace of mind to answer this question I did the following test:

	- registered a node4 with 4 circuits configured
	- double clicked on the node and verified the number of circuits
	- Removed 2 circuits from the node database 
	- exit MCC (MCC stored the 4 circuit info until exited)
	- re-entered MCC and again double clicked the node
	- 2 circuits appeared

This shows that MCC goes to the entity for the children and does not
use DNS (at least for line and circuit info). I asked this question
because I had concern as to whether nodes needed to be deregistered/
reregestered each time circuits are reconfigured on a node. This would
have been a serious inconvenience for network managers of large nets.
But it's a non-issue.

cheers,
brad

I misread  reply 3.  I thought it Brad was talking about double clicking
into the MCC global entity.  (I guess I am a bit dyslexic).  Anyway, brad
is right. The Iconic map does a 

	SHOW <class> <instance> <child> * ALL IDENT

for each child the entity supports.
