    Your problem is actually more easily solved than you think.
    
    To move a map file from one domain to another (even of the same name
    but with admittedly a different UID, do the following;
    
    For a map for, lets say a domain named LKG2-A
    
    rename mcc_maps:MCC_1116000400AA000001CAA28C166F6240.MCC_MAP_LKG2-A
    to mcc_maps:MCC_LKG2-A.MCC_MAP
    
    When you later open the new LKG2-A  domain, mcc will first look for a
    UID based map file name, failing that, look for one in the form
    	MCC_domainname.MCC_MAP.
    
    This is in the V1.1 DECmcc documentation.

    Hello Rob,
    
    And thank you for your reply.
    Effectively, this way of renaming MCC maps runs correctly, but I've not
    find any information in the BMS V1.1 documentation about that...
    
    Nevertheless, is there any way of getting DNS attributes of MCC objects 
    in a local DNS environment (without DECnet OSI installed) ?
    
    Regards,
    Renato

    Gee, I don't know any way to get DNS attributes of MCC objects even
    using real DNS. What are you looking for in the Local Namespace?
    
    The discussion on mapfile names was sorta burried on page 3-26 of the
    DIRECTOR use manual.

    Hello,
    
    Ok for the documentation, but it's not very clear !!!
    
    What am I looking for in DNS ?
    
    In fact, I'm not looking for...but I'm controlling very often DNS MCC
    related object attributes such as following :
    
    
    $mc dns$control	(VMS...)

    This kind of attribute if very useful when there is a asynchronous
    problem between MIR *.dat files, DNS (or local DNS) name space, and
    MCC_<mcc_uid>.MCC_MAP_<domain_name> files, specifically because DECmcc
    seems to do relational links between global entities and domains (and
    this problem occurs often enough on Customer site...).
    
    MCC_UID can also be got via DNS$CONTROL (VMS)...

    Intersting information but I don't think you addressed my question.
    
    What are you looking for in DNS? I see what you displayed (and by the
    way, what version of DNS are you using to do that?).
