3175.0. "Reintall questions" by VFOVAX::OUTMAN () Fri Jun 12 1992 08:28

    Ok, I give up.
    
    I should note that I am on a remote site without postscript or file
    transfer capabilities, therefore, if I could find an installation
    manual, I couldn't print it out. If there is an installation manual,
    could someone give me a pointer, any other docs available would also be
    helpful. I'll get it somehow, but in the mean time...
    
    I just installed 1.2.7 over 1.2.4, when I first brought it up, all 
    my domains were gone. I am using the local MIR. I did the BMS startup
    with the enroll parameter and things looked better, at least all
    the menu items were there, along with my notification window.
    
    This morning I rebooted my system, the notification window was gone and
    all the menu items were not there, for example the "view" option in the
    file pull down menu. In the customize menu, the Notification option,
    enable and disable, were both lightly shaded and I could not select
    them. I have tried to reenroll the notification FM, no help.
    
    I then copied the following files from the old MCC_SYSTEM directory
    MCC_DNS_ATT.DAT and MCC_DNS_ENT.DAT and I now see my domains, but I
    still cannot get the notification window to come up as well as all the
    other menu options. Is this file copy required?
    
    I realize I may be missing a lot by not having an installation guide
    and I am really new at MCC so any help would be appreciated.

    run DAP (mcc_dap) and type
    
    SHOW CLASS MCC SUBCLASS ICONICMAP SUBCLASS APPLICATION 
    
    Is there a subclass NOTIFICATION_PM?  If not, either
    
    	a. you are running the DIRECTOR kit, which doesn't have
     	   notificatin services
    
        b. you are pointing to the wrong dictionary
    
        c. the dictionary is corrupt 
    
        d. someone deleted it.
3175.2Thanks... A few more questionsVFOVAX::OUTMANMon Jun 15 1992 08:2820
    Thanks for the reply, I found the problem. I had a private dictionary 
    pointed to by a search list for the logical MCC_system. I removed the
    logical for my private mcc_system and  every thing was fine.
    
    A couple of questions...
    
    
    	1. If a private dictionary is being used, is there a conversion 
    	   that has to take place on that dictionary that may not get
    	   performed  in the installation procedures.
    
    	2. Before installing the new version I could point a logical name
    	   to a custom access module and it did not have to be installed.
    	   Now it appears that the custom access module must be in
    	   sys$share and installed. Is there a way around this?
    
    
    			Thanks

    There is no conversion.  All management modules must be reinstalled.
