2633.0. "problem deleting rules after upgrade" by SGWS::SID (Sid Gordon @ISO) Thu Mar 26 1992 06:31

I'm using local namespace (MIR) instead of DNS.
When I upgraded from 1.2.4 to 1.2.15 I saved (beforehand) the files
MCC_COMMON:MCC_INS_ATT.DAT and MCC_COMMON:MCC_INS_ENT.DAT, and then
restored them.  Everything seemed to work nicely now except for the
following problem.  It may be a bug or it may be related to the way I
did the upgrade - you can decide.  In any case, can someone tell me how
to fix the problem?

I had about 5 rules defined.  After I upgraded I wanted to delete the rules.
I tried to delete them using the rule toolbox.  In each case, after
I deleted a rule, MCC crashed with the following:

Event Disaster unmarshall sanity chk failure
  Buffer at addr: F4CD30, len: 104, lp: EC5058
  Entity size: 56
60 00 00 00 30 00 01 03 00 00 10 02 20 00 10 01 00 00 00 00 00

00 00 00 00 10 00 10 00 20 00 00 6C 00 00 34 00 00 00 00 00
  Bad AES Dump:
***** Invalid MCC Descriptor *****
%Thread 9 terminating with exception:
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000000, PC
=201C0000, PSL=001A0FCC


But when I restart MCC the rule is gone anyway.  So I thus deleted all five
of the rules.  In each case the dump is the same, except for the number after
lp: (for example, in another dump it was
   Buffer at addr: F5CD30, len: 104, lp: E6BC58

The rest of the dump is the same.

Now every time I try to create a rule, I get the same dump.  And when
I go back into MCC and try to enable or disable it or delete it, 
I get the same dump.  Is there anyway to clean this up via the FCL 
interface?  I can't get the rules to work...

Help?

It certainly sounds like a bug to me.

    I think you needed to extract the rules before the upgrade (or use an
    MCC procedure to create them in the first place) because many of
    the MIR files when a local namespace was used had format changes
    (and continue to have them) from one internal baselevel to another.
    It is one of the hassles of using internal baselevels.
