4501.0. "How to shorten entity names on map?" by LICAUS::LICAUSE (Al Licause (264-4780)) Thu Feb 04 1993 09:53

    We are now trying to use the DEC:. corporate name space for DECmcc
    on the Easynet.
    
    As such, we are running into the need to use some fairly long names
    for all entities.
    
    I'd like to know if there is way tell MCC to only display the actual
    node name (i.e. DEC:.mko.foo.nodex   to be display ed as nodex).
    
    thanks,
    Al

	I would know like the same thing for bridges, references, circuits and any other entities that are not the Phase IV or SNMP entities. And for them, if they are not in the local databases. If it is not possible under V1.3, then this functionality should be included in future releases. From my point of view, this is customer request also. Dave
4501.2	It's not in the plans!	LICAUS::LICAUSE	Al Licause (264-4780)	`Thu Feb 04 1993 20:57`	12
	After discussing this at some length with Jim Lemmon of the MCC group it was determined that this facility is not currently provided with the product....nor will it appear any time soon. It has apparently been on the wish list for quite some time now, but always seems to get shoved aside in favor of other items.....too much to do and too few engineers to do it! Please keep your cards and letters coming on this item if you think its a biggie and forward same to the product managers. Al
4501.3	I have a 'pile' of names in one spot...	CSOADM::ROTH	MC5: Kick out the jams!	`Mon Feb 08 1993 09:11`	5
	A possible workaround is to 'drag' the offensive name to a part of the map that you do not usually view. Then, using the text option, put whatever name you want next to the entity/child entity/whatever. Lee
4501.4	MB3 -> change label??	CTHQ::WOODCOCK		`Mon Feb 08 1993 20:14`	12

Then, using the text option, put whatever name >> you want next to the entity/child entity/whatever. We've got one of these too. Affectionately called the 'black sea' :-). Names go in but they don't come out. Not something I'd show a customer and it does need a fix. How about under MB3 <change icon label>?? cheers, brad...
