4379.0. "How can I delete a 'dangling link' from a local MIR?" by CUJO::HILL (Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident) Wed Jan 13 1993 00:54

    I forgot how I did this, but sometime in early December when
    registering SNMP entities via T1.3.0 using a local MIR, I got a
    registration error which resulted in what I call a 'dangling link'.
      (I call it this because it is exactly the same error message
       that I used to get when using DNS when I had a dangling
       softlink.)
    
    Is there a means of deleting this record in the local MIR?
    
    The message I get in the map window upon opening a domain is:
    
       Domain contains one or more entities that have been deregistered...
    
    (or something similar...)
    
    Thanks,
    Dan

4379.1	Ultrix=now, VMS=soon	FARMS::LYONS	Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.	`Wed Jan 13 1993 15:22`	3
	If this is Ultrix, see the MCC-TOOLS notes file for a set of instructions If this is VMS, there is an effort to document the tool and release it via the MCC-TOOLS conference real soon.
4379.2	it's VMS	CUJO::HILL	Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident	`Wed Jan 13 1993 23:39`	3
	I'll watch MCC-TOOLS. Thanks, Dave. -dh
4379.3	spool command at the ready	KAOT01::S_HYNDMAN	Acronym Decoder Ring Architect	`Thu Jan 14 1993 15:01`	22
	I hope this tool is available real soon as I have three customer sites using local name spaces with similar problems/weirdness ie: - the ever popular entity is registered until you want to deregister it gag and vice vesa - In another case if I register a particular circuit using the circuit am, members in that domain disappear from the the namespace. If I deregister that circuit instance, they magically reappear - reference entities disappear from map. attempting to show the member form FCL lists this particular reference entity 6 times! When trying to re- register it I receive a "mcc-e-noparent, parent does not exist" So far I have been able to delay the repair of this by telling customer to create another entity using a different name however its not a real confidence booster. If you need a test site I'd like to try it. Scott
4379.4	No action in the MCC-tools notes	KAOT01::S_HYNDMAN	Acronym Decoder Ring Architect	`Tue Mar 30 1993 12:03`	6
	Any news on this front? I had hoped real soon meant just that. There is still a need for this tool. Scott
4379.5	doesn't work as well as we thought it would	TOOK::GUERTIN	MCC: Legend or Nightmare?	`Tue Mar 30 1993 16:13`	12
	William Kwak developed a tool to delete dangling links on VMS Local MIRs. However, most of the corrupted MIR repositories that he saw had more severe problems than just dangling links, so he questioned the value of the tool. A longer term solution would be to do a read-write copy of the Local MIR database thereby removing error records. This would end up being more work to implement. Send William (TOOK::KWAK) mail if you think you could use his tool (yes, I know this should go in the MCC-TOOLS conference). -Matt.
