4482.0. "Info on child entity - kept where?" by TAVIS::ORNA () Tue Feb 02 1993 03:41

    We have CREATED a child entity and saw it on the map
    and also in our DB. We went through the different
    screens and when we came back to this screen (map),
    we could not see the child entity we had created
    before. Why is it so? From were the information
    of the child entity is taken from in order to be displayed
    on the map?

Was the parent of the child partially registered?

4482.2No.TAVIS::ORNAWed Feb 03 1993 09:063
    No, it was fully registered.

Was it perhaps registered before you upgraded to a T1.3.x version.  Several
algorithms have changed as well as some management specifications have changedl

To tell if this is the case, deregister the entity in question, then re-register
it and see if the problem still exists or has gone away.

4482.4It's V1.2. REGISTER may help?TAVIS::ORNAThu Feb 04 1993 04:276
    We are using V1.2. We have not upgrades it ti T1.3.
    Is we add the REGISTER directive to the child entity, would it
    solve the problem, maybe?

4482.5global v.s. child viewPOLE::LEMMONThu Feb 04 1993 11:3721
    When you say "map", do you mean a global view (e.g, when
    you open a domain) or do you mean a child view (e.g.,
    when you double-click into an entity)?
    
    If you add a child to a global view, the Iconic Map
    issues a CREATE and REGISTER directive (providing they
    exist).   The display information (e.g, x,y coordinates)
    are stored in the map file upon saving it.  If you do not save 
    the map before you either exit or open a new domain, the child 
    will not be displayed the global view the next time the 
    domain is open.
    
    The child view does not have a map associated with it.
    The iconic map, when you navigate into the entity,
    issues either the SHOW or DIRECTORY directive to retrieve
    the entities children.  The SHOW is used if the entity class
    has DYNAMIC = TRUE.  DIRECTORY is used if DYNAMIC = FALSE.  
    SHOW goes to the agent for the info while DIRECTORY goes
    to the Registration database.

4482.6More detailed descriptionTAVIS::ORNAMon Feb 08 1993 02:3922
    OK, I'll try to be more precise and describe what my problem is.
    We have CREATED a child entity nad saw it on our map.
    We poped-up ti its father (global entity) and double click on
    its father again. At that time we were not able to see the child
    entity we already had created.
    Since double clicking on a global entity activates the command
    SHOW <ge-name> <ge-instance> <che-name> * ALL IDENTIFIERS,
    we tried to activate this command in the FCL. Using the debugger
    we could not even stop in the show routine, it crashes with the
    message: MCC-MMABORT: target management module thread has aborted.
    The commnad SHOW <ge-name> <ge-instance> <che-name> * ALL STATUS
    operates OK. The routine for 'show identifiers' is exactly the
    same as for 'show status' but differs in the data returns.
    In order to try to understand why we are not able to stop in
    the 'show identifiers' routine, we change the entry in the
    dispatch table so the 'SHOW ...... <ch-name> * ALL STATUS' command
    will call the 'show identifiers' routine, and indeed we were able
    to get to the 'show identifiers' routine, .....
    So, can you please help me to see what the problem is?
    
    Orna.
    
4482.7dispatch table might be out of dateGOSTE::CALLANDERWed Feb 10 1993 09:5815
    you haven't by chance been playing any games with your class codes?
    It is possible that your dispatch table is confused. You might want
    to try to reenroll your module, or completely delete the dispatch
    table and enroll everything again.  Also you can check this
    from the test bed.
    
    manage/tool/test (ultrix mcc_tbd)
    deposit verb 2
    deposit attribute 1
    dump/access
    
    The above will dump all show identifier commands that are currently
    loaded in the dispatch table.
