Hi. As I created a new Domain at the top level,called .kyoto and I picked a Domain icon up from the toolbox, DECmcc displayed a new Domain ialog box. So I entered .kyoto.unit1 as the new Domain name and Member Type, then clicked on the OK button and double clicked somewhere in the Domain Map(.kyoto). Now, I however expected that the Domain icon would appear with name laveled `.unit1', it actually apeared with name lavel saying `.kyoto.uni1'. Is this normal work? Seeing the DECmcc USE Manual, it seems that the domain, like .MP.EC.GBR, that belongs to its parent, MP.EC, have the name lavel `.GBR' in the .MP.EC Domain map. (See 3-33 of DECmcc USE) Did I missed any operations or just have I misunderstood on this function ? This could be trivial things anyway ? /Biff

| 3842.1 | fullname does not imply containment hierarchy | KAJUN::NELSON | Thu Oct 01 1992 12:38 | 20 | |
Domain names are of datatype FULLNAME. FULLNAMEs are made of a sequence of SIMPLENAMES. SIMPLENAMEs are of (one of them, anyway) the form .zzzzzz. Sooo, a fullname might be .ddd.yy.tre. The sequence of fullnames does not imply any containment hierarchy within DECmcc. The sequence of fullnames implies a path within the namespace. Domains, like nodes and snmp entities, are global - they have no parent. A domain is a collection or grouping of objects (members). They imply no containment hierarchy. Each of the members of the domain are global entities in their own right. `.kyoto.uni1' is a valid domain name, but does not imply that domain `.uni1' is subordinate to domain `.kyoto'. Just like a node4 named `jasper' in domain `.kyoto' is not represented as node4 `.kyoto.jasper', but as node4 jasper. ...kjn | |||||
