4307.0. "node4 names in t1.3" by CTHQ::WOODCOCK () Tue Dec 22 1992 14:54

Greetings,

The alarms and/or DNA4 modules are still passing NODE4 addresses to the user
instead of NAME. Our only recourse is to use ncp in the script to get the
name (most ugly). I thought there were plans to change this in 1.3 or did it 
get dropped off the list?

best regards,
brad...

Brad,

You beat me to getting this one reported - according to the release notes 3.8.1
this should work.

    please note that there were a number of unexpected reprocutions
    when the AM team made the change to use the name instead of the
    address as the primary identifier.  These had to do with the FM
    functions that cared what the primary identifier of an instance
    was/is.  For example the targetting database uses the primary
    identifier for determining if retargetting needs to occur.
    Notification uses the primary identifier to determine domain
    membership.  The historian and exporter use the primary identifier
    for deterining database keys.  Also the reports package had aprioi
    knowledge (and hard coded string lengths) for receiving the primary
    identifier.  Due to these interdependencies, the last I knew they
    were trying to come up with a clean plan for moving to the use of
    names without reaking havoc on those things you might already have
    in your databases, and without losing any functionality (like reports).
    
    Hope this clarifies a bit, this item has *NOT* been dropped.
