3732.0. "X-Terminal problems with V1.2 " by TAVIS::ORNA () Mon Sep 14 1992 08:34

    We running DECmcc V1.2 ULTRIX machine. We have configured
    a VAXstation 3100/38 with 16 MB memory to work as an
    X-window terminal (using EWS).
    Everything worked fine with T1.27. After we installed
    V1.2, we couldn't see domains which we used to work with.
    
    When we want to see the default domain or to filter domains,
    we get this error message:
    "The requested operation can not be completed
    MCC routine error %Noname-E-Nomsg, message number 0000003E."
    
    When we try to reate a new domain we get the above message +
    the followings:
    "MCC unabled Service Reply..."
    
    Can someone please help me and tell what went wrong?
    Another thing: why we get message numbers and no text
    describing the error? I assume some files are missing?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Orna.

T.R	Title	User	Personal Name	Date	Lines
3732.1	MIR changed	TOOK::MINTZ	LKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033	`Mon Sep 14 1992 09:30`	4
	The T1.2.7 MIR file structure is different from the SSB version. Trying to run the new code with the old files in /var/mcc will produce meaningless results.
3732.2	Can I save old config. and install again?	TAVIS::ORNA		`Mon Sep 14 1992 10:02`	12
	FIrst of all: thanks for the quick reply. I suspected that this might be the reason. Can this be the cause to the problem reported in 3731? My customer have done quite a lot configuration with DECmcc T1.27. Is there a way to save all the information configured, remove anything under /var/mcc as recommended in the release notes, install V1.2 and rebuild the old MIR? Thanks again, Orna.
3732.3	Maps are new configured (V1.2)	TAVIS::ORNA		`Mon Sep 14 1992 12:37`	15
	After I talked with my cutomer he told me that had configured all his maps from the beginning after we installed V1.2 and yet on the X-Terminal got the errors mentioned in .0 and on the server got the errors mentioned in 3732. Is it possible that maybe because we did not removed everything under /var/mcc, it caused the errors mentioned? Do you have any suggestion how to keep the data we have now before making a new installation? Orna.
3732.4	Not sure	TOOK::MINTZ	LKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033	`Mon Sep 14 1992 13:55`	6
	I have forwarded this note to someone who would know if there are any tools for preserving the old data. However, since FT code is not intended for production use, I'm not sure how much is possible. -- Erik
3732.5	no /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_msg.msg	TAVIS::ORNA		`Tue Sep 15 1992 07:06`	6
	We miss the file /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_msg.msg Maybe this is the reason that we get numbers of errors in the error message? Orna.
3732.6	That would do it	TOOK::MINTZ	LKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033	`Tue Sep 15 1992 08:26`	7
	Yes, if mcc_msg is missing (or if the MSG_LOCATION variable it not set) then you will get numbers instead of messages. The file is installed by the kit (and the variable set by mcc_login), so it sounds like something might be wrong with your installation. -- Erik
3732.7	mcc_fdictionary.log & mcc_msg.msg missing	TAVIS::ORNA		`Thu Sep 17 1992 08:54`	13
	Hi Erik, My customer claimed that mcc_msg.msg & mcc_fdictionary.log files are missing under /usr/mcc/mcc_system directory. I reinstalled it on my DECstation and saw that he was right. I pulled the kit from mccnix::~ftp/pub Is it possible to copy those files from somewhere on the net? Orna.
