4978.0. "member name to domain name" by TRN02::ROSSETTO () Thu Apr 29 1993 18:57

    Does somebody knows if it's possible to get a domain name from a member
    name? (I've got the member name and I want to know to which domain that
    member belongs).
    The problem I'm trying to solve is the following:
    I've got several domains and I've got a data collector in each domain.
    I use DCM and other applications that send messages to DECmcc. When I
    get allarm messages from DCM or the applications I want to send them to
    the appropriate data collector (the one sitting in the same domain as
    the entity with the problem). From DCM or the applications I only get
    the entity name (it could be a NODE4 or a REFERENCE type of entity).
    Can I get the domain name from the entity name without having to
    scan all the domains?
    Thanks for any help.
    antonio.
    
    P.S. - Also a more general question: having DECmcc to manage some
    thousand entities spread on some tens of domains, how can I locate a
    specific entity if I don't remember to which domain it belongs??

4978.1	Not very difficult	RACER::dave	Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.	`Mon May 03 1993 09:15`	12
	"Membership search" does this for the Iconic map, and I think the code to do it went out with one of the kits as an example. It is a fairly simple request, and a call to mcc via MCC_CALL is all that is needed. Note that you may get back a list of domains, as each object can be in more than one domain at the same time. Maybe one of our wizardly programmers could cobble up a simple command line interface for membership search, if its not already there.
