I need a help to build our DECmcc Extended LAN Manager Kit. We
developped a bridge am for the multiport bridge from the current
bridge am which can manage LAN bridge 100, 150, 200. I am using
UPDATE command (DAP) in order to update bridge in the dictionary:
DAP> update class bridge_am from mcc_bridge_am_svc_if.com
Here is the catch; I dumpped a subclass bridge line in the dictionary
before and after the update.
before 861 blocks
after 551 blocks
As you see it, it shrunk. Apparently UPDATE command purges existing
information in the bridge line (I believe PA, Exporter, and Historian
FM stuff is gone). After I augmented PA, Exporter, and Historian FM
to the bridge line the size of the dictionary dump file is 611 blocks.
It is still smaller than what it was. Is there anybody who knows what
is missing in 250 blocks ? Whatelse component other than PA,
Historian, and Exporter FM should be augmented to the bridge am?

Did you mean to update the class bridge? I don't believe that there is a
class bridge_am. There is a class mcc subclass bridge_am.
I'm curious as to the status of this problem. Can you provide an update?
The only thing that I can think of this that there may be other DAP .com
files that add to the class bridge definition. How may DAP .com files are
there for bridge?
Other than the three you mentioned (PA, Export and Historian) there aren't
any other modules to my knowledge that augment the bridge class. Did the
augment commands produce any errors?

| 978.2 | what are you trying to do? | TOOK::CALLANDER | Mon May 13 1991 17:48 | 19 | |
Jae: Update may not be what you want to be doing, by your questions I am wondering about the following: -- are you simply trying to extend the current definition of the bridge class information? (add in new attributes/directives and such) -- If you want to modify the class is it to add an entire new child? -- or, are you looking to modify only a child? There are other commands, undocumented, that DAP supports for more specific manipulations of the dictionary information. Update as you guessed deletes the old class definition (and all children beneath it), then adds in your new definition. You may actually be looking for a load, or augment capability. If you can answer the above questions on what you are trying to do I believe we can help you. jill | |||||
