HI,
Could someone advise how to migrate LOCAL_NS to 'real' DNS namespace
that is stored on a different machine of the MCC workstation?
I 've try the following:
1) @sys$manager:dns$change_def_file.com
that gives me a new dns$default_file.dat in sys$system and this
points to the correct DNS server system.
2) @mcc_common:mcc_dns_setup.com
Use option 1 - to create initial DNS directories for MCC (i.e.
MCC_IP, MCC_DOMAIN, etc..)
Use option 3 - to create specific domain directory for IMPM map
drawing.
Use option 5 - to add MCC workstation in the access control group
in the DNS server.
3) Then re-start MCC (i.e. Manage/enter/inter=decw) to add new entity
but it still works in the LOCAL_NS.
Please correct me if any thing goes wrong in above?
Thanks in advance for help!

You are in luck. The very last note, 5578, discusses switching namespaces. The part you left out is setting the logical to select DNS rather than the local namespace. -- Erik | |||||

The previous set of replies work but keep in mind that this technique
does NOT preserve the instance store. You need to re-register
everything and recreate all maps.
Alternately you can move from Local (MIR) to Distributed (DNS) or the
other way and "keep" the instance store and maps.
- before changing anything...
- execute mcc_common:mcc_dump_ns
this will take all that is in the instance store and extract it
into a set of registration commands and domain and member creates.
- on VMS, execute mcc_common:mcc_move_maps
this will produce a script to rename all the map files to a
transportable name format - read the output carefully...
On ULTRIX, just rename the mapfiles from the
mcc_{uid}.MCC_MAP_{domain-name}
to mcc_{domain-name}.MCC_MAP
Note: Won't work for very long domain names!
- Now shut down all mcc processes
- edit sys$startup:mcc_logical_dir.com (or the ULTRIX equivilent)
and change the definition of MCC_DNS_SELECTION
- restart mcc
- execute the registration script (you may want to read it or edit it
first)
- execute the script that the MCC_MOVE_MAPS procedure produced.
done...
