1938.0. "Location of non-DNS MIR data" by GOONS::CHAPMAN () Fri Dec 13 1991 05:47

    Exactly where, on disk, is the non-DNS MIR data (e.g. historical data)
    stored?
    
    Thanks

     VMS: 	MCC_COMMON:

     ULTRIX: 	/var/mcc

     Note: Private MIRs can be created anywhere, so check your
	   logicals/environment variables for variants of the defaults.

    Uh, sorry Tom, not quite right.
    
    Those directories are where the MIR repository table is stored (i.e.,
    the the MIR's MIR), but individual repositories are stored in what
    ever directory is specified on the mcc_mir_create_repository call.
    
    For the DEC-supplied FMs, the alarms and local DNS repositories also
    happen to use MCC_COMMON (/var/mcc), but the historical data
    repositories are stored in the directory of the associated domain (
    the directory specified or defaulted to "current" in the CREATE DOMAIN
    command).   This is to have the domain "owner" also be the owner of
    that domain's historical data.  Otherwise you would have the problem of
    anyone wanting to write historical data needing write access to a
    system directory like MCC_COMMON.
    
1938.3A bit more detail pleaseGOONS::CHAPMANFri Dec 13 1991 11:2816
    Many thanks for the quick response. 
    I have found the following files:-
    
    	.MCC_HIST_ATTR011_1
    	.MCC_HIST_ATTR011_P
        .MCC_HIST_INST011_1
        .MCC_HIST_INST011_P
        .MCC_HIST_Q11_Q
    
    Are these the relevant files for historical data? If so, what is in
    each file?
    
    Thank you

    Not sure why you need to know this, but.....
    
    	.MCC_HIST_ATTR011_1 Attribute data file
    	.MCC_HIST_ATTR011_P Attribute control file
        .MCC_HIST_INST011_1 Instance data file
        .MCC_HIST_INST011_P Instance control file
        .MCC_HIST_Q11_Q     Queue file
    
    The "_1" files are the data, the "_P" files are the control files
    (contain info on what recording have been defined and what their state
    is), and the "_Q" file is used to communicate requests between the FM
    and the background process.
