Conference azur::mcc

    Hi Ben,
    	This is to let you know that I am looking into your problem. I need
    to do some investigation and might need more information from you.
    
    	I used to work on Registration FM but now no one is "in charge of"
    this module. For the past few months have been busy trying to ship EFT
    of another product, didn't monitor this note conference.
    
    /Ed

    Hi Ben,
    	Could you send your MSL for your global entity smssif to me at
    TOOK::TAN.
    
    	Also, you can define a logical to trace REGISTRATION FM. Do the
    following and go into MCC and issue your register command again, and
    please post it the log here or send it to me.
    
    
    $ DEFINE MCC_REGISTRATION_FM_LOG 6
    $ MANAGE/ENTER
    
    MCC> REGISTER SMSSIF ASSD
    ...
    
    /Ed
                           

Ed,

Here is the trace of the SMSSIF register and deregister commands for both
normal and exception completion status. I have appended
the MSL for the global entity SMSSIF to the end of this
note.

Thank you for the help.


Ben

**
**
**  MODIFICATION HISTORY:
**
**  04-08-92	JFBB	Changed name of mcc_smssif_reference_attributes.ms 
**			to mcc_smssif_reference_attribs.ms because cocoon
**			adds the prefix MGMT$SRC_ which brings the previous
**			name to more than 39 chars.
**			Added Number of Failures and Number of Restarts to 
**			Counters Partition
**  13-08-92	JFBB	1. SMSSIF Events text tidied up. (Events were not used
**			   in BL0.)
**			2. Corrections made, so that Events numbers and 
**			   Attribute numbers do not clash.
**  26-08-92	JFBB	SMSSIF global entity set to 20 (registration authority)

Thank you for the mail message, Ed.

The solution for anyone who has a similar problem is :

1. The Registration FM insists that SHOW SUCCESS is
   always defined to 1 in the MSL.

2. I was using an out-of-date Register verb.


The combination caused my problems and I am very
grateful to Ed Tan for solving them for me.


Thank you.

Here is the original mail message to Ben.
    
    ===========================================================================
    
	First of all, I would like to describe the DECmcc Registration of global
entity process so that you understand.

	When you register a global entity via FCL or Map, for example

MCC> REGISTER SMSSIF aasd

	the following steps should happen

1.  The REGISTRATION FM Register entry point (not your Register entry point) is
    called.

2.  If the fullname (aasd) is not registered completely, the fullname will be
    created in the namespace.

3.  Then your AM's Register entry point will be called with any in_p. Your AM's
    Register entry point can do whatever you need to do for this instance.

4.  Then your AM's SHOW IDENTIFIER entry point is called to get all the
    identifiers.

5.  For each identifiers returned that is not the fullname, it is put in the
    namespace.

6.  Then AM's SHOW ALL CHARACTERISTIC entry point is called to get all the
    characteristic attributes. The variant selectors are put in the namespace.

7.  The AM is called for all the child entities that should be registered
    (DYNAMIC = FALSE in the MSL)
    The child entity instances are put in the namespace.



	In your first log of correct Registration of the entity, the fullname is
put in the namespace. Then your AM's Register entry point is called and you
return success [ 1 ] (). Then your SHOW ALL IDENTIFIERS entry point is called
and you return in out_p the only one fullname identifier which is not correct.

	The incorrect out_p you return is

[  0 ] (
    [  1 ] (
	[  1 ] (
	    [  1 ]           05
	    [  2 ]	     aa 00 04 00 a6 c2 20 91 eb 3a 3f 18 94 00 08 00 01
04 61 61 73 64 00 00
	    [  3 ]	     00
	    )                                                                  
	)
    )


	In your MSL for DIRECTIVE SHOW, your RESPONSE for SHOW SUCCESS is

	RESPONSE Show Success = 0 :

	It should be changed to

	RESPONSE Show Success = 1 :

	Also when you return in out_p the SHOW IDENTIFIER reply it should be

[  1 ] (	<==  change this from 0 to 1
    [  1 ] (
	[  1 ] (
	    [  1 ]           05
	    [  2 ]	     aa 00 04 00 a6 c2 20 91 eb 3a 3f 18 94 00 08 00 01
04 61 61 73 64 00 00
	    [  3 ]	     00
	    )
	)
    )

	This 1 is the value you put in the mcc_l_id field of the ILVbuffer
in the call to mcc_ilv_put_param_begin when you build the out_p.

	Example:

	#define SMSSIF_SHOW_SUCCESS 1

	struct MCC_R_ILV_CONTEXT ILVout ;
	MCC_T_Descriptor *p_dsc_out_p ;

	...

	p_dsc_out_p->mcc_l_id = SMSSIF_SHOW_SUCCESS ;

	...

	status = mcc_ilv_put_param_begin(&ILVout, p_dsc_out_p) ;

=============================

	REGISTRATION FM is expecting a 1, not a 0. Also your AM's SHOW
IDENTIFIER entry point should return a status of MCC_S_RESPONSE (please check
this).


	This should take care of the first problem.


	For the second log of register, the fullname is put in the namespace.
Then your AM's Register entry point is called. It fails for whatever reason.
I have this question for your AM's Register entry point. When your AM's
Register entry point is called, what does it do? Please list all the tasks that
this entry point do.

	The reason that Registration is successful is first of all the fullname
is in the namespace, and secondly your MSL does not have support for partial
registration. So the Registration successful message is printed.

	Your REGISTER Directive in MSL is out of date. I am sending you the
new REGISTER Directive MSL in the next message. Please update your MSL with
this change.

	Please make the above two changes and send me the answer to the question
I have for you for further investigation. We are close to solving your
problem. Thanks.
