846.0. "terminal Server AM Toolkit ICON label too long" by SEDSWS::BAKER (Paul Baker, UK Product and Technology Group - 844 3311) Wed Mar 27 1991 12:06

    
    Having installed both the Terminal Server and Translan AMs, I have
    noticed that the Terminal_Server label under the ICON in the Toolbox
    window is too large. This means it is overwritten by the adjacent
    Translan Icon label.
    
    Is there an easy way to fix this, please?
    
    Paul.

846.2Fixed before ship?? I hope.NSSG::R_SPENCENets don't fail me now...Tue Apr 02 1991 11:475
    But, it will be fixed before it ships, right? There is no way that
    it can go to a customer in that form.

846.4I'll try.... Is this supported???CCIIS1::ROGGEBAND_ �hili��e _Fri Apr 05 1991 08:0612
    Re .0 :
    
    Surely if you use DAP to modify the "presentation name" definition of
    the Terminal server from "terminal server", say  to "DECserver" (i.e. reduce
    the length from 15 to 9 characters, and then rebuild the parse tables,
    it should work ? I expect them PM's pick up the name from the
    dictionary / Parse tables ?
    
    I'll give it a try this afternoon and let you know. If it fails, I'll
    just have to reinstall the TSAM kit!!!

re:.3

   Management considered time to market a higher priority than this bug.  
It will be fixed in the next release.   

re:.4 

   Changing the presentation name should do the trick.

 A bit more clarification is necessary...

 If you modify the presentation name of the TERMINAL_SERVER
entity, make sure you also rename the icon file MCC_TERMINAL_SERVER_ICON.DAT 
to MCC_DECSERVER_ICON.DAT.  

 There may be other implications with data stored (e.g., alarm rules)
using the old presentation name.  

 I am not sure if changing the name will affect the DNS use of the 
MCC_TERNIMAL_SERVER_BACKTRANSLATION directory.  I don't think so but I am not
an expert in this area.

846.7Please clarify a bit more?NSSG::R_SPENCENets don't fail me now...Fri Apr 05 1991 15:3814
    Jim, are you saying that the product manager for the Terminal Server AM
    says the current presentation of the icon lable in the toolbox is
    acceptible to ship to customers?
    
    If so, please let me know who that is because in all cases that I have
    shown the product to internal people or customers it has been assumed
    by all that this was an internal baselevel oversight and there is no
    way we would compromise the product quality by failing to correct it in
    the released version.
    
    I agree with them. It is much too obvious an issue to leave in the
    product.

846.8It will be fixed in next releaseBSYBEE::EGOLFJohn C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874Fri Apr 05 1991 15:4723
	Rob,

	The actual  "problem"  is in the DECmcc V1.1 system, not really
	with the Terminal Server AM.

	V1.1 is done.  Its in SSB.  We're not pulling it back for this.
	We need to make some money.  With DECstock at:
	2:30pm    DEC 63 3/4, change -0 7/8; DJIA 2894.56, change -29.94
	I think many people would agree.

	If the Terminal Server people would like to chance their Global
	Entity class name, that would  be fine, but it would have to be
	forever  once  the  product ships.   It  would  mean  that  the
	documentation would have to be re-done (updated).

	Nobody disagrees the overprint is ugly.  It is one of many ugly
	things.  I agree it needs to be  fixed.   I commit that it will
	be fixed in our next version.

	[end]
