4481.0. "domain exists during creation problem" by BRSVMS::VDKERCKHOVE (Never say NEVER) Tue Feb 02 1993 03:14

Hi,

HOW does DECmcc determine the existance of a domain during CREATE DOMAIN...?

Problem is the following:

DECmcc (V1.2.3)

MCC>  CRE DOMAIN .A_ANTWERPEN

Domain NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN
AT  1-FEB-1993 17:18:26

The requested operation cannot be completed
            MCC Unhandled Service Reply = The requested operation cannot be
                                          completed
                      MCC Routine Error = %DNS-E-ENTRYEXISTS, Creation not
                                          possible, entry already exists
MCC>
MCC>
MCC>
MCC> SHO DOMAIN .A_ANTWERPEN MEMBER *
Using default ALL IDENTIFIERS

Domain NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN
AT  1-FEB-1993 17:18:36 Identifiers

No such entity: Domain NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN
                         Unknown Entity = Domain NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN
MCC>

There is no NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN object in DNS, nor is there any ..._MCC_EXT
object. However, there are some node4 entities with the following attributes in
DNS:

DNS> SHO OBJ .DNA_NODE.C01R01 ATTR MCC_DOMAIN_LIST

4481.1Check if the entry is directory name or link nameTRM::KWAKTue Feb 02 1993 08:5312
    RE: .0
    
    Check a DNS entry called NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN, which may be a directory
    name or softlink:
        $ mcr dns$control
        DNS> show directory NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN
    	DNS> show link      NMBS:.A_ANTWERPEN
    
    If the DNS entry already exists, you have to use other name for your
    domain.  A DNS entry name has to be unique in the name space.

None of these exist in the namespace !

4481.3Try more DNS commandsTRM::KWAKTue Feb 02 1993 10:0831
    
    When you issue "MCC> create domain .A_ANTWERPEN" command, DECmcc will
    do the following:
       1. create DNS object .A_ANTWERPEN, and add many attributes to the
    	  object,
       2. create DNS object A_ANTWERPEN_MCC_EXT000, and add attributes to
    	  the object.
    
    The error "%DNS-E-ENTRYEXISTS" means that either .A_ANTWERPEN or 
    .A_ANTWERPEN_MCC_EXT000 already exists as a "DNS entry" in the namespace.
    
    Does your namespace have Read-only replica of the root directory?
    
    Try the following:
      DNS> sho object .A_ANTWERPEN
      DNS> sho object .A_ANTWERPEN_MCC_EXT000
    
      DNS>! IF the above objects do not exist, let's try create DNS object
      DNS> create object .A_ANTWERPEN
      Object class? mcc
      Class version? 1
      Class minor version? 1
    
      DNS> create object .A_ANTWERPEN_MCC_EXT000
      Object class? mcc
      Class version? 1
      Class minor version? 1
    
    Were the object creation successful?

Thanks for the ideas, William.

    Is your problem solved now?
    
    If NOt, see Notes # 3713.5 for possible help.

4481.6the objects are in the indexed file !BRSVMS::VDKERCKHOVENever say NEVERWed Feb 03 1993 16:428
    RE: .5
    
    Still isn't solved.
    
    I dumped the dns namespace indexed file and there are records
    with A_ANTWERPEN in them! I can't see them in dns$control.

4481.7Try NOTED::DNS Notes conferenceTOOK::KWAKWed Feb 03 1993 17:009
    
    It looks like that you (your account) do not have access to the DNS 
    object A_ANTWERPEN.  You need to find an account which has all access
    rights to the DNS object (plus MCC Domain Extension object) and to 
    have your account name added to the DNS object's ACL.
    
    Maybe you can ask a question in NOTED::DNS notes conference.
