I'm having trouble using the example access module discussed in "DECmcc
Management Module Programming".
It seems to compile and link OK so I decided to enroll it. I don't know
which manual describes the enrol command. Here is what I tried:
$ MANA/ENT
DECmcc (T1.1.0)
MCC> SHOW SAMPLE
%MCC-W-INSTANCEMISSING, entity instance is missing
MCC> ENROLL SAMPLE
%RMS-E-FNF, file not found
MCC> ENROLL MCC_SAMPLE_AM
%MCC-I-ENRDUPLENTRY, enrollment successful; duplicate entries found and replaced
MCC> SHOW SAMPLE
%MCC-W-INSTANCEMISSING, entity instance is missing
MCC> SHOW SAMPLE *
Using default ALL IDENTIFIERS
The requested operation cannot be completed
MCC Routine Error = %DNS-E-UNKNOWNENTRY, Requested entry
does not exist
MCC> SHOW NODE SAMPLE ALL CHARACTERISTICS
Node DEC:.SAMPLE
AT 15-APR-1991 14:22:46 Characteristics
The requested operation cannot be completed
Entity Existence Info = Entity Existence Cannot Be Determined,
VMS Routine Error = %MCC-E-VERSION_ERROR, error in

| 917.2 | Is DNS set up correctly? | BARREL::LEMMON | Tue Apr 16 1991 14:02 | 11 | |
The only time I see the message
MCC Routine Error = %DNS-E-UNKNOWNENTRY, Requested entry
does not exist
is when I forgot to create a necessary DNS directory. I believe
the SAMPLE AM is a subset of the DNA4 AM (or it was at one time).
If this is still true, make sure the DNS directories DNA_BACKTRANSLATION
and DNA_NODESYNONYM exist.

| 917.3 | Global Wildcard enumerates from Registration.... | TOOK::CAREY | Wed Apr 17 1991 10:49 | 29 | |
Currently, the SAMPLE AM doesn't support registration. I think there
are plans (or at least hopes) to fix it.
Yes, the SAMPLE Entity is a DECnet Phase IV node, but it is more
correct to say that the SAMPLE AM manages a subset of DECnet Phase IV
than it is to say that it is a subset of the DNA4 AM. Way back in
their family tree they may have something in common, but in terms of
MCC now, their similarities end with the fact that they both use the
NICE protocol to issue management requests.
The problem you are seeing:
SHOW SAMPLE *
giving you an error, occurs because global entity wildcarding is
deferred to the Registration FM and the MCC Instance MIR (DNS) for
enumeration. The instance MIR doesn't know anything about SAMPLE
entities so it is presenting you with an error.
Specify a specific phase IV node in your network and the command should
work. You can specify your own local node, or any other DECnet node
that is in the DECnet database on your system. I'm not sure whether
you can specify a node by address or not, but I think you could do that
as well.
