2817.0. "%MCC-E-NORECORD during a creation of rule" by BEAGLE::LOUIS () Wed Apr 22 1992 05:12

mcc1.2.4 ultrix
    
    Hi,
    
    After a hang & crash of the station during an enable of multiples rules
    selected, we lost all rules and we can't create new rules using iconic
    map or fcl.
    
    The error message is the same with create domain rule or 
    create mcc 0 alarm rule (& the same using comparaison , occur...)
    
    
csh> manage
DECmcc (T1.2.4)
 
MCC> create mcc 0 alarm rule alarm_ricard 
    EXPRESSION = (change_of (node4 ricard line bna-0 data blocks sent,*,*))

MCC 0 ALARMS RULE alarm_ricard 
AT 1992-04-22-10:28:43.379+02:00Iinf

Software logic error detected
                      MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-NORECORD,  specified 
    			entity definition record does not exist
MCC>exit

    Here follows the printenv to show environment variable  :
    
    Is there a need to define MCC_COMMON and MCC_SYSTEM ?

	We tried to rename the alarms MIR files (.pag and .dir

    We have a demonstration for a customer tomorrow, and we have
    choose a station Ultrix because we don't have any other solution.
    I don't know a lot Ultrix, so perhapps the solution of this problem
    is easy , and i forget to check something. 
    So It is very important for us to have a solution quickly.
    
    Thank's a lot for any suggestions

Try removing the files /var/mcc/mcc_mir_repo_table.{dir,pag}
These are the master repository table, which point to other
repositories.  It is possible that these are the files which
became corrupt when the system crashed.


By the way, 

> II_SYSTEM=1

I don't know why this is defined this way.  For Ingres to work properly,
II_SYSTEM must point to a valid Ingres directory.  Since the DECmcc
installation procedure uses this variable to determine if Ingres is
installed, it may cause some confusion.  If Ingres is not installed,
the variable should not be defined.

    Thank's Erik for your quick answer, but i am affraid about removing
    this files.
    I 've got near 50 domains and 200 entities with the local repository
    table. (i don't use DNS)
    So, what will append for these domains & entities  ( I can't lost
    them) if i remove this files ?
    
    For more information, a lot of others features, like create a domain, or
    add a node4 or an snmp entites or more work fine . I didn't test
    yet the report and export because it will take to much time.  
    
    
    	Thank's

The master repository table will be re-created automatically.
You should not lose any of your other repository data.
But if you are concerned, rename it, so you can get it back if needed.

    	Ok Erik,
    
    	I enroll the MCC_ALARMS_FM again after rename the files
    	/var/mcc/mcc_mir_repo_table.(dir/pag) and now the
    	create of rule works fine.
    	All other entities & domain look like ok
    
    	Thank's again for your quick solution
