5162.0. "Bug in FIND..." by CUJO::HILL (Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident) Mon Jun 07 1993 23:03

    Please let me know if this has already been reported since I do not
    recall seeing a note on it...
    
    
    The "Find..." operation has a bug in it.
    
    Example:
    
    	When trying to find entity "AB", another entity is selected
    instead:  .AGM.mcc.servers.MYSERVER  
    
    	The entity "AB" does exist in the domain and on the map.
    
    
    Thanks,
    Dan

5162.1More info on FIND... bugCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Jun 09 1993 00:4210
    Verna,
    
    To answer you mail message, this is on a VMS V5.5-2 system using a DNS
    V1.1 repository.  EMS V2.3 (i.e., MCC V1.3.0, etc.).
    
    This is a really strange problem.  Can you suggest some debug logicals
    that can be defined to provide more information?
    
    -Thanks,
     Dan
5162.2Yet more info on Find... bugCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentThu Jun 10 1993 17:0112
    Verna,
                                               (use valid addresses)
    Try this:                                      |           |
                                                   V           |
    MCC> REGISTER SNMP .ip.RM SYNONYM RM ADDRESS x.x.x.x       V
    MCC> REGISTER TERM .RSG.mcc.tsrv.DECDS1 ADDRESS 08-00-2B-xx-xx-xx
    
    Bring up the Iconic Map.  Add these two entities to the map.
    
    Try to "Find..."  RM  and you will get the terminal server.

Dan,

The Find algorithm searches on the entire class-instance string, not just the
last instance, so it is finding RM as follows:

	TERM .RSG.mcc.tsrv.DECS1 ADDRESS 08-00-2B-xx-xx-xx
	  --

If your find string is .RM, then the SNMP entity should be found and selected.

Hope this helps,
Verna
5162.4More on Find... behaviorCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Jun 23 1993 02:3614
    Hi, Verna,
    
    You are indeed correct, but entering ".rm" did not result in a find.  I
    had to type in ".ip.rm" in order to bypass the "TERM" of the terminal
    server entity.
    
    This is not very intuitive, but we can work around it.
    
    One thing that does not seem to work as expected is the "Find..."
    function in the Notification Window.  When clicking the "Find..."
    button, an entirely new domain window pops up.  It should allow me to
    find an entity in the domain that I have currently active.  Not good.
