I just recently completed the installation of the EMS V2.2 SSB kit on a system in our demo center. At the beginning of the installation procedure I was prompted whether or not to install all EMS products. I said YES. Then right after that I received a message that said something to the extent that DECmcc EMS was using DECdts DTF 00:00 for installation and it prompted me to hit Return> to continue. Which I did. This dialog is not covered in the installation documentation. The question I have is whether DECdts is a REQUIREMENT for EMS V2.2? If so, Why? If not, how does a TDF get set? Merlin

| 3888.1 | DECmcc checks to see if DECdts is running! | TEMTY::L_GROSSMAN | Mon Oct 12 1992 09:39 | 9 | |
When you answer yes to install the whole EMS package, the first package that starts installing is BMS. I am confused by the fact that the TDF statement came before some other BMS question, but this is most probably correct. The BMS package tries to determin if DEC DTS is running, if it is the BMS packages automatically sets the TDF to match otherwise you could get confusing error messages from DECmcc. DECmcc BMS also checks to see if a DNS server is running on the system for the same reason but BMS only sets the default responce for this case. | |||||
| 3888.2 | So DECdts is NOT Required? | MAIL::CLAYTON | Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217 | Mon Oct 12 1992 13:22 | 13 |
re; -1 So, to sum up the previous answer, EMS will use DECdts if it's there, but if it is not, it will still ask for the TDF during installation. Therefore, DECdts is NOT a requirement for EMS v2.2, just an option. Is this summation correct? Thanks for the previous reply. Merlin | |||||
| 3888.3 | DECdts is NOT required | TOOK::T_HUPPER | The rest, as they say, is history. | Tue Oct 13 1992 11:27 | 6 |
RE: .2
The summation is correct: DECdts is optional, and will be used if
present.
