3446.0. "Registration FM and DIRECTORY directive" by BALZAC::MARKOWSKI () Tue Jul 28 1992 10:25

    Hello,


    Is the documentation called the Registration FM available somewhere on the 
    network or could somebody explain me what does the Registration FM do
    with a DIRECTORY command ?

    I have the following problem with the DIRECTORY directive (DECmcc V1.2.0
    with VMS 5.4) :

SEGUR � mcc
DECmcc (V1.2.0)

MCC> directory sare *

SARE *
AT 28-JUL-1992 14:59:32

The requested operation cannot be completed
                      MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-NOATTRIB, no such DNS attribute

MCC> directory sare leg001

SARE PRSTRA_NS:.leg001
AT 28-JUL-1992 15:04:06

Directory successful.
                              Equipment = PRSTRA_NS:.LEG001
                                 Domain = "DECSARE"
                                   Zone = "COR"
                                   Type = "LGCM2G"
                              Reference = "6C170C2"
MCC>


    Here is a piece of the management specification of the SARE entity :

      (* Attributes partition : IDENTIFIER *)

      IDENTIFIER ATTRIBUTES

         ATTRIBUTE Equipment = 10 : FullName
	    DNS_IDENT = PRIMARY_NAME,
	    ACCESS = NONSETTABLE,
	    DISPLAY = TRUE,
	    CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION),
	    SYMBOL = SARE_ID_EQUIPMENT
         END ATTRIBUTE Equipment;

	 ATTRIBUTE Identification = 20 : Latin1String
	    DNS_IDENT = ALTERNATE_NAME,
	    ACCESS = NONSETTABLE,
	    DISPLAY = FALSE,
	    CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION),
	    SYMBOL = SARE_ID_IDENTIFICATION
	 END ATTRIBUTE Identification;

	 ATTRIBUTE Domain = 30 : Latin1String
	    DNS_IDENT = NOT_USED,
	    ACCESS = NONSETTABLE,
	    DISPLAY = TRUE,
	    CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION),
	    SYMBOL = SARE_ID_DOMAIN
	 END ATTRIBUTE Domain;

	 ATTRIBUTE Zone = 40 : Latin1String
	    DNS_IDENT = NOT_USED,
	    ACCESS = NONSETTABLE,
	    DISPLAY = TRUE,
	    CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION),
	    SYMBOL = SARE_ID_ZONE
	 END ATTRIBUTE Zone;

	 ATTRIBUTE Type = 50 : Latin1String
	    DNS_IDENT = NOT_USED,
	    ACCESS = NONSETTABLE,
	    DISPLAY = TRUE,
	    CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION),
	    SYMBOL = SARE_ID_TYPE
	 END ATTRIBUTE Type;

	 ATTRIBUTE Reference = 60 : Latin1String
	    DNS_IDENT = NOT_USED,
	    ACCESS = NONSETTABLE,
	    DISPLAY = TRUE,
	    CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION),
	    SYMBOL = SARE_ID_REFERENCE
	 END ATTRIBUTE Reference;

      END ATTRIBUTES;


    Thanks for any help.

3446.1Need Help ...BALZAC::MARKOWSKIThu Jul 30 1992 10:3223
    
    Hello,
    
    
    Are my questions so stupid that nobody wants to answer them (this is
    not my first question that remains without any answer) ?
    
    I do need some explanation on the way the DIRECTORY directive works
    with the Registration FM.
    
    The directive was working at a certain point of the development of my AM 
    and I haven't re-use it till now because I am writting the user's guide 
    and looking for an example of each supported directive to put in the 
    documentation. An now the directive fails ...
    
    Thanks again for any help.
    
    Regards,
    
    sylviane.
3446.2You may have incomplete DECmcc DNS objectTRM::KWAKThu Jul 30 1992 12:0635
    
    RE:.0
    
    When you issus "MCC> dir sare *", the DECmcc searches the 'ENTIRE'
    namespace for DNS objects with MCC_Class equal to MCC_K_Class_SARE.
    When a DNS object's MCC_Class attribute value matches, DECmcc will
    read a binary attribute which stores the identifiers (e.g. in SARE
    global entity, the identifiers are Equipment, Domain, etc.)
    The identifiers are ILV-encoded. The binary attributes are not
    visible from V1.1 DNS$Control, but readable using V2.0 DNS (both
    VMS and Ultrix). If you do not have access to V2.0 DNS, I have a
    utility program which enumerates a DNS object's attributes including
    the binary attributes (send me mail TOOK::kwak if you need the program).
    However, when the binary attribute does not exists, DECmcc returns
    the error message - "%MCC-E-NOATTRIB". 
    
    This binary attribute is created in mcc_dns_create_instance().
    
    To fix your problem, you have to delete the DNS object which was
    partially created by DECmcc.
    Assuming that you are running V1.1 DNS, and your SARE object was tried
    to be registered in the root directory:
    DNS>! find the MCC_Class value in hexadecimal
    DNS> sho object .LEG001 attribute MCC_Class
    DNS> show dir . known objects
    DNS>! for each DNS object (say foo), see if it has MCC_Class attribute
    DNS> show object .foo attribute MCC_Class
    DNS>! if the MCC_Class matches the MCC_Class of your SARE object .LEG001
    DNS>! Issue the following MCC command, and if you get
    DNS>! "Not Registered Entity = SARE ..............", 
    DNS>! delete the DNS object (DNS> delete object .foo)
    DNS>!	MCC> dir SARE .foo

3446.3You're completely right !BALZAC::MARKOWSKIThu Jul 30 1992 12:4717
    
    Hello William,
    
    
    Thank you for your explanations, the problem is exactly what you have
    described. In subsequent tests, I have noticed other symptoms of the
    problem : it was impossible to DEREGISTER or REGISTER the object.
    
    Following your suggestions, I have deleted the partial registered DNS 
    object, registered again the object and the DIRECTORY directive works 
    fine again.
    
    Thank's again for spending time to answer to my problem.
    
    Best regards,
    
    sylviane.
