4031.0. "No entity icon after REGISTERATION" by TAVIS::ORNA () Wed Nov 04 1992 12:07

    We are developing an AM on ULTRIX with DECmcc V1.2 ULTRIX V4.2a
    We (using the debugger) passed the REGISTERATION phase with
    all the status codes OK and used all the default values for
    the attributes. Yet, when we completed to fill in the 
    registeration form in iconic_map we did not see the entity
    icon on the map. The entity was not registered also using
    the mcc_fcl.
    What is missing?

    Post the MSL for your identifier attributes.
    Post the FCL output from a SHOW your-class any-entity ALL IDENTIFIERS.
    Post the output of an attempted register from FCL.

    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    Since the problem ocuures at a customer site, I asked him to
    FAX me what you asked for.
    Is it possible to FAX it to you in order to avoid me typing
    everything?

    FAX is DTN 226-7417
    
    but your last reply makes me nervous, what case is this...
    
    We and/or a customer are developing an AM and something is wrong
    with the code or definition such that it cannot register (and it
    has never properly registered).
    
    Or
    
    The customer reports he cannot register an entity which at one time
    could be registered, but it no longer works.
    
    
    I was assuming the former in my request for info.

    You understood correctly: the entity never registered
    and maybe something is wrong with the code or definition.
    
    Thank you very much.
    Orna.

    This has been taken offline.   The MSL in question has some problems.
    
    Also, as a general guideline on problems like this, a logical
    progression of easy->difficult steps would make debugging these kinds
    of things easier.
    
    1) Get SHOW <class> <instance> ALL IDENTIFIERS working from FCL.
    2) Get REGISTER working from FCL
    3) Stick it in a domain from FCL
    4) Bring up that domain on the iconic map
    5) Make sure you can still do a SHOW ALL IDENTIFIERS operation from the
       map
    6) NOW try registering a new one from the map.
    
    Crawl, walk, trot, run.
