At the moment I cannot setup my own namespace, so I want to set up MCC under
DEC:.sno.s . I know that MCC always uses the default namespace, but is
there someway with setting up logicals that I can get MCC to point to .sno.s.
I have tried doing the following -
$ create/name_table dns_process_table
$ define/table=lnm$process_directory dns$logical -
dns_process_table,dns$system
$ define/table=dns_process_table DNA_BACKTRANSLATION "sno.s.DNA_BACKTRANSLATION"
$ define/table=dns_process_table DNA_NODESYNONYM "sno.s.DNA_NODESYNONYM"
$ define/table=dns_process_table mcc_bridge_backtranslation -
"sno.s.mcc_bridge_backtranslation"
$ define/table=dns_process_table mcc_uid "sno.s.mcc_uid"
$ define/table=dns_process_table mcc "sno.s.mcc"
so when I do a DNS> SHOW DIR MCC it points to .sno.s.mcc . But MCC still goes
to DEC:. when I go to register a NODE4 for example.
What can I do if anything ?? i know that this has been brought up before, but
I am just hoping that someone has cracked it !

RE: .0
------
The current MCC (V1.1) uses the full names which start
with a period (.). And, the DNS does not attempt to translate
the first simple name as a logical name. The DNS tries to translate
the first simple name only if the full name does not start with
name space or a period.
For example, when MCC looks for synonym link for node "anchor",
it uses the fullname ".DNA_NODESYNONYM.anchor". In this case,
DNS will not consider the first simple name "DNA_NODESYNONYM" as
a logical name since the full name starts with a period.
MCC does not have control over .DNA_NODESYNONYM and .DNA_BACKTRANSLATION
directories. These directories have to be in the root directory of a
name space, and are not defined by MCC.
You may define MCC directories (".MCC", ".MCC_BRIDGE_BACKTRANSLATION",
etc.) to be placed in non-root directory of the name space. This
re-definion of MCC directories are for internal test purpose only.
Please note that MCC_UID directory is no longer used in MCC V1.1.
Please refer to note 652.* for more information on DNS default name
space.
Thanks for your question.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up installing DNS on my VAXstation with
my own namespace, and installed MCC there. All works fine.
Chers,
