3685.0. "IDP and BackTranslation ?" by KERNEL::MACLEAN (How cold is a sober stone?) Thu Sep 03 1992 13:53

Hi!,

I have a bit of an MCC/DNS problem with a Non-Default IDP ...My 
customers are trying to use an mcc_node_idp of 39:826 on MCC v1.2 

ON MCC NODE RUNNING DNS CLIENT:
===============================
sulu> sho log mcc_node_idp
   "MCC_NODE_IDP" = "39:826:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)


MCC> regist node4 .sulu syn=sulu    [This fails for Station also, and
                                     whatever dir you try to register 
Node4 VODA:.sulu                     it in ]
AT  3-SEP-1992 16:44:50

Unable to register name, required namespace directory does not
exist


ON DNS SERVER NODE:  (Root dir/DNS$ACS etc all ok ,and the direcories
===================   where we are tring to register exist)

DNS> sho dir .DNA_BackTranslation kno child
 Child ______ %X39826F

DNS> sho dir .DNA_Backtranslation.%X39826F kno child
 Child ------ %X0001
 Child ------ %X0002
 Child ------ %X0003
 Child ------ %X0004
 Child ------ %X0005 etc........

DNS> sho dir .DNA_BackTranslation.%X39826 kn chil (ie NOT X39826F)
     Child ______ %X39826F
DNS>sho dir .DNA_BackTranslation.%X39826.%X39826F. kn chil
     Child ______ %X39826F
DNS> sho dir .DNA_BackTranslation.%X39826.%X39826F.%X39826F kno child
     Child ______ %X39826F
  

....I have tried redefining the MCC_NODE_IDP value /sys/exec to be 
"39:826F:" and this made no difference.....However I tried amending
this logical on our system to be the same where we normally use the
default of 49 and I managed to register a new node with no problems!

SO: -When does MCC sample this Value as it appears not to pick up 
changes in the logicals...and if it's on startup,where is the value
stored?....Is the value with the padding '%X39826F' the one which we
should be using?-and if so why is the %X39826 value there at all ??

Help Much appreciated!!!,

    Thanks William!-especially for the swift response!,
    
    Guess I'd found the IDP Problem and was searching specifically
    for IDP notes instead of the overall broader Registration
    Problem !..........
