2547.0. "Beginner questions for MCC" by MSBCS::HSU () Wed Mar 11 1992 16:07

    Hi! 
    We are trying to use DEC MCC product to build our application and we
    have no one knows how to use it. So we have alot of questions to ask
    for the help.
     
    These are the beginner's questions:
    a. What version of DEC MCC shall we use? We copied down internal base
    level 15 and ran the installation. 
    b. When we tried to create a domain, we got "map window message: entity
    is not valid, please check spelling." error message. I don't know there
    is a restriction about the name of the domain, is it?
    c. We are hoping to use MCC to build applcation which can manage
    processes, servers and databases. Can MCC be applied? All we have seen
    from the documents of MCC are network objects. 
    
    Thanks in advance...

	these is a 25 character limit on the name of a domain. Did you remember to enroll each of the management modules (installation IVP kpass?) MCC was initially started by the network management team that is why the current applications we supply are all network based. This is NOT a requirement placed on us the the "framework" (what we call the underlying base system and generic applications like domain and alarms). You can use MCC to do any type of management you want. At the last DECUS the common agent people were there demoing system management through DECmcc (kudos to Dave Lyons, it was a real nice demo). Could you tell us just what you attempted to enter as the domain name? it would help.
2547.2	IVP KPASS?	MSBCS::HSU		`Thu Mar 12 1992 16:24`	12
	WELL! I don't know if we installed Mcc correctly... I copied the base-level 15 down and installed BMS and TOOL KITS. We ran the IVPs for both kits. What else do we have to do? I don't understand how to enroll each management modules, I guess I did not enroll each management modules (IVP KPASS??) What I did was to invoke MCC/interface=decwindows and entered the new domain name. The name I used was only few characters long. I beleve we may not install the Mcc correctly. I will try to look into the installation menu. Sorry! we did not go through the whole book. Normally, it is a much small book... ):- -Hamilton

	Read the release notes too. Be sure to read the installation (and planning) guide. Did you use DNS or a local namespace? What operating system are you using? What version? s/rob
2547.4	Gee! I thought it would be easy...	MSBCS::HSU		`Mon Mar 16 1992 16:36`	7
	Well! We installed the Mcc BMS and TK products and ran the IVPs for both products. I then invoked "Manager/enterprise/interface=decwindows". The Mcc window came up and I selected "new domain" and entered the name like "BXB1". I know I much did somthing wrong... But can't figure it out... I will assume we can using local name space, but how can I tell? -H

	When you installed the BMS kit it askes you what to use for a namspace. At that time you chose which you are using. The logical MCC_DNS_SELECTION says what you have chosen. Show logical MCC* and see what you get. If it looks like that below, then you chose to use DECdns and therefore must follow the directions in the manual about setting it up. "MCC_DNS_SELECTION" = "DNS" s/rob
