3395.0. "V1.2 Exporting problem" by PANIC::HOARE () Tue Jul 21 1992 10:25

    I would like to view the information that I have recorded historically in 
    the MIR using Mcc V1.2. This information comprises line and circuit 
    information derived from six routers at 15min intervals over a period of 
    about three days. When I do a "show recording", I am informed that the
    polling has been successful.
    
    So far so good I believe, however I am having trouble inspecting this
    information to ensure that I have good data.
    
    I have been exporting a three or four hour sample of the information
    using the EXPORT facility in the menu and recieved notification that
    exporting has been successful. I exported both line and circuit
    information over the same time interval to ensure that I had sufficient
    information to be produced on a graph.
    
    I am certain that the Mcc Reports setup is correct and that MCC_EXPORT
    and DICTIONARY are defined properly and was able to produce graphical
    output from an earlier attempt.
    
    But I get errors as follows from the the DTR log file:
    
    "Find current with time stamp between DATE1_hold and DATE2_hold, 0 
    records found"
    
    hence no Hourly utilisation graph.
    
    The recording interval that I used was 14-jul-1992 18:20 until 18-jul-1992
    06:00 (at 15min intervals) and I exported from 15-jul-1992 01:00 until
    15-jul-1992 03:00. In Mcc Reports I entered in the same dates and hours
    as the exporting period.
    
    
    When I experimented in Mcc Reports with a period 14-jul-1992 01:00
    until 14-jul-1992 03:00, I got the following error.
    
    63 records found BUT
    
    Graph-W-...   The data contains all zeroes.
     
     --------------------------------------------
    
    Can anybody comment on the above and tell me if I am allowed to export
    samples of information, or whether I have to export exactly the
    interval specified. 
    
    Also, if older .SNP files remain relating to previous attempts, will
    these complicate matters and should they be deleted.

When you ran the reports package and asked for a report did you specify a
node NAME or node NUMBER??? For DECnet phase_iv (if that's what you're working
with) needs the NODE NUMBER when cutting a report.
