3950.0. "Scanning in Map after populating domains?" by SIOG::TINNELLY (Consultancy for fee NOT free..) Fri Oct 23 1992 09:15

    Hello Folks,
    
    Apologies if this has been asked, but on 2400 dialup from a very
    wet Derry (most Northern part of Ireland), sitting in Dupont and
    getting OJT in form of consultancy. Anyways enough of Geography
    lesson...
    
    Dupont want to scan in a map of the complex with all the buildings on
    it. No problem. But can I first go ahead and populate the domains with
    nodes, terminal servers etc, and later(when they find a map) scan in
    the map without having to reset up nodes etc. ??? My answer was YES,
    but better check.
    
    They also want to get a readable hard copy printout of the maps from
    DECmcc. Can this be done.?
    
    They have approx 200 terminal servers DS100,200 etc, but wait for it
    they have a DECSA. From what I can see TSAM does not support this.
    Is this true, can I do anything with it via DECmcc TSAM?? -)
    
    many thanks for help.
    
    regards Peter.
    
    ps now for a 4.5 hour drive home -)

3950.1Yes. But you'll have to work for it...TOOK::MCPHERSONpre-retinal integrationFri Oct 23 1992 10:1828

Yes.  Not a problem.  With v1.2 I think you still have to go in and edit the
map file.  With 1.3 it'll be a menu option...

Yes.  Unless DECwindows printscreen is acceptable, you'll need to use an
'outboard' tool called  MCC_GRAPH (I think that's the name).    Poke around in
here or it may also have a quick pointer in the MCC-TOOLS conference on
NOTED::.

Probably not with TSAM, but you could write a quicky launched application that
does a console connect to the DECSA from a terminal emulator window.   You
could register the DECSA as a Station or a reference entity and have the
application (DCL or Shell script) parse out the entity name, create a window
and do a console connect to the appropriate box....  Voila!

3950.2Several optionsTOOK::FONSECAI heard it through the Grapevine...Fri Oct 23 1992 11:4524
TSAM does not provide full support for the ETS, as it does for
other terminal servers.  You can use the pasthru utility (located
in SYS$SYSTEM:MCC_TS_AM_PASTHRU.EXE)  There are instructions in
appendix B or C of TSAM Use manual I believe for adding the pasthru utility to
your DECwindows resource file so that it will appear on a pull-down menu
for launch.

It looks for several logicals to be set up with the appropriate info about the
server, which will save the user some typing:

  "MCC_TS_AM_SRVR_ENET_ADDR" = "08002B26AA9B"
  "MCC_TS_AM_SRVR_LOG_PWD" = "ACCESS"
  "MCC_TS_AM_SRVR_MAINT_PWD" = "0000000000000000"
  "MCC_TS_AM_SRVR_SVC_CKT1" = "BNA-0"

You could even write a command file to set those logicals up ahead of time
during the launch.

This does the same as doing a console connect through NCP as Doug described
in the previous note.

Good luck...

Hi fOLKS,

Many thanks for the fast replies. I will have a search for the MCC_GRAPH tool, 
and investigate the DECSA management via the launched application method.
