MCC 1.2.7 on VMS using DNS. Using the IMPM to register Node4 entities, I noticed that the IMPM uses the node's own executor name on the map, instead of the registered name or synonym. eg if, on node RITZO, I do the following - $mc ncp set exec name temp and register RITZO as DNA_node.RITZO with synonym RITZO, the name attached to the icon is TEMP. Now if I click on TEMP and, via the IMPM, do a ,say, SHOW IDENTIFIERS, the IMPM attemps to connect to the node using the nodename TEMP and I get the message "node does not exist or is not known to local node". Shouldn't the IMPM try to connect using the Node4 address? regards, Ian

Hi,
Perhaps this has to do with the new feature of being
able to place alternate identifiers on the map. In the mcc_resource.dat
file you will see an entry like the following:
mcc_pml.map_alt_id.<class_name> : id
This chooses what to display on the map.
See note 2781 and replies for more information. Unfortunately it
isn't documented anywhere.

Yes, the iconic map displayes the node name (identifier code = 1). If you want fullname displayed, edit mcc_resource.dat and change the alt_id code for node4 to 160. Oh, one more thing. The synonym is the phase4 node name identifier. >eg if, on node RITZO, I do the following - > >$mc ncp set exec name temp > >and register RITZO as DNA_node.RITZO with synonym RITZO, the name attached >to the icon is TEMP. > >Now if I click on TEMP and, via the IMPM, do a ,say, SHOW IDENTIFIERS, the >IMPM attemps to connect to the node using the nodename TEMP and I get the >message "node does not exist or is not known to local node". > >Shouldn't the IMPM try to connect using the Node4 address? > Nope. The iconic map will try to connect using the identifier displayed in the map. In this case it is the node name. /Jim | |||||
