DECmcc V1.3, ULTRIX V4.2A
I am trying to add an option to the Operations menu and to get it to
pass some info about the (single) selected entity.
I have managed to get the option to appear in the menu when the entity
is selected (although if I used TABs to seperate the APPLIES_TO: and
the entity name, the option would not appear! Is this a qared bug?)
When the option is selected, the debug script called does not get the
command line options! The only successful ones sent to the script so
far are: Domain, Application_id, and Window_id. The entity class is:
DAP> show class unix_system

If anyone can spot what I am doing wrong, please tell me as soon as
possible.

| 5082.1 | USE SPACES IN ATTRIBUTE NAMES | WOTVAX::WHEELERM | Wed May 19 1993 08:18 | 18 | |
Ahah! (or ha ha ha ha)
I have the answer. The following works:
ARGUMENT: <UNIX_SYSTEM.!.SYSTEM ID>
but
ARGUMENT: <UNIX_SYSTEM.!.SYSTEMID>
would not. The documentation talks about attributes but does not
mention that if you have an attribute with name "systemid" and with
presentation name (? not sure of terminology) "System ID", then in the
.def file you must use the presentation name. Is this a bug? Will it
change shortly?
(P.S. Another reason why I had assumed the attribute name should be used
is because it said so in 4842.1)

| 5082.2 | The name in the dictionary may not be the attribute name | RACER::dave | Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality. | Wed May 19 1993 08:36 | 30 |
4842.1 is not the right note number (at least in the virtual reality that I use to read this conference, your mileage may vary).... ** Warning ** Abstract diatribe about to follow.... The name of the Attribute IS the presentation name. It just happens that the MCC dictionary cant use usefull attribute names as tags to store the attribute definition, and uses something that is usually very close, i.e. has the spaces and other funny chars removed, for the tag that is used to store the info. Users should never see that name, only the presentation name. So, if an attribute is stored under the tag of SYSTEMID, and the presentation name field in the dictionary is "System ID", then the name of the attribute is "System ID". It just so happens that for single word attributes names the mapping is "one to one". Another way to think about it is kind of like File ID's and file names on VMS. The ***Real*** tag used to store your file is the File ID, and the "Presentation Name" of the file is the name stored in the directory. Its not usefull to refer to files as "DKB0:[1423,7,0]", but to use the presentation name, e.g. "DKB0:MAIL.MAI". You can translate back to the FID if you want to, but it is not usefull in many cases. If you want to play wizard, have a good time... I'm positive that someone else in MCC is going to have a different view on this, and will flame me at lunch today.... PS: Any guess what would happen if I had two attributes, "SYSTEM ID" and "SYS TEMID"? | |||||
