1682.0. "Register-forever !" by TENERE::DENIS (a DEC CME SuperCopter) Mon Oct 21 1991 12:07

Two other questions/problems encountered with REGISTER by our customer:

1.	Register for the global entity is working. First we add the global
	entity icon to a domain in the iconic map. This worked alright, but
	when we try to create a child of this global entity by double
	clicking on its icon and selecting the child from the toolbox,
	we got the error:
		"Unsupported combination of verb, entity, partition."

	We assume that this is because the iconic map is trying to register
	the child entity and failing some way.

	This is strange as we can successfully Register the child entity
	using mcc_fcl. We also have a Create directive on this child.

	What is the developer doing wrong ??

2.	We have a global class PFM which has only one instance. Hence we
	have no identifier attributes. We get the error "A Primary DNS
	Identifier is missing" when we try to compile the MSL using mcc_msl.
	Taking out all references to identifiers from the MSL makes no
	difference. The only thing that seemed to work was to make an
	identifier for the PFM class and to define it as being a primary
	name.... how can we get around this problem ? We should be able
	to have only one instance for PFM !!!

Thanks in advance,

    there are some difference between FCL and iconic map. When
    you register from the FCL we pass just what you gave us, and
    do NOTHING else. But, from the iconic map, it registers it 
    and then does some more stuff to find out (like show all identifiers)
    just who this is and then adds it to the domain (create domain member).
    
    Have you been able to create any domains and populate them yet? Could
    it be that you don't have the mcc_startup stuff hook into your
    sys$startup procedures?

Thank you... it works now !
