	Hello,


I use DECmcc v1.1 since different time but I've a BIG doubt.

DECmcc it's a tool that I can use for control all entities as node4,
terminal server, bridges, and their parameters.

I can change some parameters as cost, speed in volatile and permanent db,
if I have a proxy login or if I know username / password of a privilege 
account (rightly) but not for all "node4 entity".

If I want to change parameters of entities that boot from another node (for 
example demsa) and which don't have permanent db, I can't do it with DECmcc 
(also I know user and pass).

Or better, I can set these parameters (using OPERATION -> SET -> xxx) but
only in volatile db (I suppose in my DNS-MIR, also) but I receive this
error, utilizing Iconic Map when I tried to set the "initial attribute":

		Table exception for Node4 xxx
	Node does not support requested directive.



So, as I manage ALL my network using ONLY Decmcc??


In "Decnet Phave IV Access Module Use Manual" I can read :

 "		CAUTION:

  Manage your network with DECmcc, in preference to NCP, as much as possible.
  DECmcc has many features that help it maintain a consistent view of network.
  NCP does use these features. If you manage with NCP sporadically, you may
  subsequently receive inconsisten or incorrect information from DECmcc. "



	Thanks for your reply,

That is  right.   MCC  can replace NCP for those nodes but it cannot replace
their  permanent database management (which does not use NCP).

Fixed in  Phase  V  :-)  In  Phase  V, MCC can't manage any node's permanent
database!
