2905.0. "Can't get recording started" by ODIXIE::PEACOCKR () Thu Apr 30 1992 17:47

    I have just tried to get recording to work for the first time by
    following the example in the 1.1 documenation.  But I have encountered
    an error message right off the bat and can't seem to find anywhere that
    explains what is wrong.
    
    I used the menus and filled in as follows:
    
    Partition		Counters
    Begin time		18:00
    End time		19:00
    Polling period	00:10:00
    Keep age		1
    Security		--DEFAULT VALUE--
    
    After I start I get:
    
    Entity Existence Info	Entity Existence Cannot Be Determined
    
    MCC Routine Error		%RMS-F-FNM, error in file name
    
    Where should I be looking to determine what these errors mean?  I
    couldn't find anything in the documentation about them.  Is there
    something other than setting up the batch queue for background
    recording that I was supposed to do first?
    
    Thanks.  Any help would be appreciated.

	The Historian FM creates several files in the domain directory.
    Please, check if the domain directory is a valid directory specification
    ( Show domain <domain_name> all char).
    The user who runs MCC and the Historian background process must have
    privileges to create files in this directory.

	Hope this will help.

    Here's what I got when I issued the command you suggested:
    
    MCC> show domain .atlanta all char
    
    Domain LOCAL_NS:.atlanta
    AT  4-MAY-1992 14:17:31 Characteristics
    
    Examination of attributes shows
                                   Owner ID = "SYSTEM"
                                  Directory = SYS$MANAGER
    
    
    I am in the System Account.  I realized as I was doing this that even
    though I am trying to use DECMCC 1.1 documentation, I am using the
    X1.2.15 field test.  Should this still work the same anyway?
    
    Thanks,
