4230.0. "T1.3.0 test feedback" by ANTIK::WESTERBERG (Stefan Westerberg DS Stockholm) Thu Dec 10 1992 12:33

Hi, I have tested T1.3.0 for a few days now and I think it works quit well.
But I do have some problemes and questions.

1. I can't get the Notifications filter save and resore funktion to work.
   If I save a filter setting and then try to restore it I get the following
   error message:

	Error in format of file.
	Filters not changed.

2. When using DNS as repository the Find function in the notification don't
   work. If I select an alarm and then click on Find I get the error message
   "error in Full Name value".

3. Is there some way to have the map lock function defult set to on when I 
   start the iconic map ?

4. When adding ELM AM and FM all the new alarm operations disapered. 
   I reinstalled ELM by loading the DAP files I saw in kitinstall.com.
   Could this be improved by not loading MCC_FM_ALARMS_MGT_IF.COM and 
   MCC_FM_ALARMS_SVC_IF.COM into the dictionary ? Is there an easy way
   of geting the new T1.3.0 alarm dictionary class back ? I.e doing an
   dictionary update with the new alarm T1.3.0 data.

5. Is it posible to add reference attributes to the ip interface subclass ?

6. When the map is locked and you try to move a icon you get a LOT of messages
   in the message window, is it possible to limit this to one message per
   try ?

7. I have experianced a DECmcc bugcheck when using the deregister
   function frekvently during a session. This error has also been observred
   with V1.2.3. Bellow is printout of the trace and version on the CMA 
   librarys.

Are you switching back and forth between DNS and a local namespace?

No, not in this version.




Please enter a QAR for the last problem (see note 7 for instructions).

No. Actualy the node used has never been using Local namespace.
