1016.0. "DECmcc and VCS revisited" by HANNAH::B_COBB () Wed May 15 1991 20:38

    Looking through this conference I have been able to see that there is
    some concern if DECMcc and VCS will run on the same system.  Could someone
    confirm or deny this?
    
    Configuration:
    
    Microvax 3600 system configured as a workstation (GPX) running VCS,
    RSM, LTM, TSM, and RBMS.  This system is standalone.  When VCS runs,
    it takes control of the DECwindows display local to the system. 
    We would like to be able to run MCC as a remote decwindows session
    or charater cell session.  Is this possible?  What are the problems
    or concerns that I should have?  
    
    Thanks for any help...

If you don't use the option, it's just another windowing application. Fred

	Simply.... Can you confirm or deny that VCS and MCC can CO-exist on the same system???

	I have passed your request along to appropriate parties. When I have an answer I will post it. But from Freds it surely looks possible.

	re -.1 I read your .0 note, called the one of the developers of VCS, posed your question to him, hung up the phone and replied to your .0 note. It's as definite as it can get :-> Fred

	It is more an operations issue than a technical one; since VCS controls all the console ports, you don't want other applications to crash or cause any problems to the VCS host? regs, Lillian

	Lillian, What are console ports. What is the VCS host. Does any out there have any information on this? Fred

	Re -.*, Fred and i chatted about this note before he posted his reply. Since i led the VCS project so i think i'm qualified to be definitive on this subject. DECmcc and VCS can co-exist on the same platform. Lillian's point in .5 about operations should also be taken but only to the extend that both DECmcc and VCS may try to outdo each other to consume system resources thus slowing each other down. I think DECmcc is stable such that the risk of crashing the system is non existent. --svb
