5136.0. "INV_IN_ENTITY error using PA with V1.2" by DRAC::DSMAIL () Wed Jun 02 1993 13:25

	Hello;

	I have a client who has made an upgrade from V1.1 to V1.2.

	She is trying to use the PA FM, but she gets the next error

%MCC-E-INV_IN_ENTITY, software error: in_entity (input entity) parameter

	I have issued the DLC command 

	$SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MA

	and I get the next display

MCC> show node4 PTSOFT all statistic
%XQP-I-FUNCTION, Access (0,0,0) Status 00000910
%XQP-I-FUNCTION, Access MCC_FDICTIONAY.BPT;1 (1850,5,0) Status 00000001

%XQP-I-FUNCTION, Access MCCMSG.EXE (4570,16,0) Status 00000001
%MCC-E-INV_IN_ENTITY, software error: in_entity (input entity) parameter

	Where (937,1,0) and (697,44,0) are the file of the system SYSMSG.DIR

	It seems that the problem is about the file MCC_PA_FM.EXE, but I 
have check it, and seems OK

	$DIR/SIZE=ALL/DATE SYS$LIBRARY:MCC_PA_FM.EXE

	Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]
	
	MCC_PA_FM.EXE 	677/678		10-SEP-1992


	$ANALIZE/IMA SYS$LIBRARY:MCC_PA_FM.EXE
	
	.................................................
	Image Identification Information

		image name "MCC_PA_FM"
		image file identification: "DECMCC v1.2"
		link date/time 10-SEP-1993
		linker identification "05-05"

	...................................................


	The test command is OK

	MCC> TEST MCC 0 PA

	MCC 0 PA
	Test successful


	The version is DECmcc V1.2.1


	We have the same problem if we work with diferets entitys in diferents
	domains.


	I don't have more ideas about who I can solve the problem.

	The rest of DECmcc seems is working fine.


	Any help would be great?

	Thansk in advance;

  Javier,

  What DECmcc command are you using to request the Statistics ?

  /keith

    
    	Hi Keith,
    
    	I can make a SHOW STATISTICS from the Iconic Map PM, about any
    specific entity, or I can work from the Commnad Line PM, with a 
    commnad like:
    
    MCC> SHOW NODE4 prsoft ALL STATISTICS
    
    and I get, in both, the same error message
    
    %MCC-E_INV_IN_ENTITY, software error: invalid in_entity (input entity)
    parameter
    
    Regards;

  Javier,

  As you will agree - this does not make any sense.  The first thing that
  the PA FM does is to check your entity specification against a list of
  supported entities .. the Phase4 entity is supported in DECmcc v1.2

  Do the other Node4 directives work?

	show node4 prsoft all ident
	show node4 prsoft all char
	show node4 prsoft all count

  Could you try re-running the MCC startup procedure ..

	@sys$startup:mcc_startup_bms.com

  Then try the commands again.

  Thanks /keith

  

    
    	The customer had had problems during the upgrade from V1.1 to V1.2
    	with the PA FM. because the instalation hadn't delete all files of
    	V1.1.
    
    	Now we have made and ENROLL of the PA FM, we received some error 
    	but after that the PA started to work OK.
    
    	Thanks a lot off for the help;
    
    	Regards;
    
    			Javier.
