3504.0. "Problems with MCC_DNS_SETUP" by ANNECY::GONDINET (H�l�ne - EIC/T&N Annecy, France) Wed Aug 05 1992 11:19

Hello,

I have problems with MCC_SYSTEM:MCC_DNS_SETUP file:

1 - I tried to call this file with parameters as follow:
	@MCC_SYSTEM:MCC_DNS_SETUP 1 "namespacename"

And the following error messages appeared:

%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling
 \DNS_FILES_EXIST\
The "NSDP_NS:" namespace will be used

Warning - The NSDP_NS: namespace has not yet been properly set up

The following directories do not exist:

    NSDP_NS:.DNA_BackTranslation
    NSDP_NS:.DNA_NodeSynonym
    NSDP_NS:.DNA_Node
    NSDP_NS:.DTSS_GlobalTimeServers
    NSDP_NS:.MCC
    NSDP_NS:.MCC_Station_BackTranslation
    NSDP_NS:.MCC_Sample_BackTranslation
    NSDP_NS:.MCC_SNMP_BackTranslation
    NSDP_NS:.MCC_Concentrator_BackTranslation
    NSDP_NS:.MCC_Terminal_Server_BackTranslation

%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling
 \DNS_FILES_EXIST\
DNS$CONTROL program does not exist on this system.
To execute this function, make sure that following files exist:
  SYS$SYSTEM:DNS$CONTROL.EXE - DNS control program
  SYS$SYSTEM:DNS$CONTROL.BIN - DNS management command parse table
  SYS$SHARE:DNS$LIB.EXE      - DNS shareable library

If you do not have access to these files, please run this
  command procedure on a system which has DNS Server running.

Please re-enter the function number (0 or 2)

2 - I ran MCC_DNS_SETUP interractively.
The .mcc.bridge.backtranslation DNS directory is not created.
Is it a normal behavior, although it does not correspond to what 
is specified in the documentation?

Thanks in advance for your help,
H�l�ne

Problem number 1 is a bug.  I have entered it as QAR 3331.

I suspect that this procedure does not create the backtranslation
directory for bridges because the bridge AM is no longer included in
the BMS kit.  That would suggest a documentation error.  Which
piece of documentation were you reading?

Erik,

The documentation I am mentionning is 
	Planning and Installation for VMS
	for DECmcc V1.2
And I'm referring  chapter 7:
	Using the distributed Name Service with DECmcc

I understand the reason for not having the bridge backtranslation created
by default by the procedure.  However, the terminal server backtranslation 
directory is created by default although the terminal server AM is not 
included in the kit neither :-)

    RE: .0-.2
    
    The original intension for the changes to MCC_DNS_SETUP.COM in V1.2 was
    to create all the MCC Backtranslation directories for the AMs that
    Digital would provide including ELM (this was decided in Oct. 1991).
    The AMs included Bridge, Concentrator, SNMP (TCP/IP), Station (Ethernet),
    Terminal_Server, and Sample.
    The documentation was based on the decision.
    
    However, the command procedure was changed later.
    We'll change either the command procedure or documentation for V1.3.
    
    Thank you.
