3007.0. "Missing Namespace directories for ELM" by HANNAH::B_COBB () Fri May 15 1992 14:50

    
    I installed ELM t1.2.7 and cannot register bridges now.  I have T1.2.7
    of the BMS and the TSAM.  I ran the DNS procedure and it created some 
    directories.  When I try to register a bridge, I get 
    
    	"required namespace directory does not exist"
    
    The release notes state that I need:
    
    .MCC_BRIDGE_BACKTRANSLATION
    .MCC_FDDI_BACKTRANSLATION
    .MCC_CONCENTRATOR_BACKTRANSLATION
    
    I do have these in my clearinghouse.  What else should I look for?
    
    Thanks

    You need the directories for "registered names".
    
    For example, you issue the following Register command:
    	MCC> register bridge .mydir.foo address = 08-00-2b-00-11-12
    
    You need to have directory called ".mydir" in your namespace.
    
    You can use the same MCC_DNS_SETUP.COM command procedure to create
    additional directories.
    
    Terminal Servers needs .MCC_TERMINAL_SERVER_BackTranslation directory.

    I am registering from the iconic map.  I do not give a directory but
    just the name of the bridge I want to register.

3007.3Is ELM installedGWTEAL::WOESTEMEYERWhy??...Why not!!!Mon May 18 1992 09:229
    Bill,
    
    Have you installed the ELM access module?   DECmcc T1.2.7 does not
    include any bridge access modules.  See note 3.149 for ELM kit
    location.

    Anyone have any idea what is happening here?  All other modules work
    i.e. TSAM and IP.  
    
    Thanks

    re: .7
    
    Were you running MCC from SYSTEM account on ORATOR?
    
    If not, you don't have any access rights to the
    .MCC_Bridge_Backtranslation directory.
    
    When the user does not have any access rights to a directory and tries
    to create an object or softlink (backtranslation link) in DECdns
    namespace, the DECdns returns "%DNS-E-UNKNOWNENTRY, Requested entry
    does not exist". The DECdns treates the protected directory as
    "unknown directory".
    
    Please try the following MCC command and post the result:
    
    $ man/ent
    MCC> regi   refer .MCC_Bridge_Backtranslation.foo
    MCC> deregi refer .MCC_Bridge_Backtranslation.foo
    
    (The command will try to create and delete a DNS object 
    .MCC_Bridge_Backtranslation.foo)

    Correct on the access problem.  That was it.  We were running from 
    a different account.  The error threw me since I was used to seeing
    "NO RIGHTS TO PERFORM THE REQUESTED OPERATION" error when there are
    access problems.
    
    Thanks alot for the help.
