5939.0. "DECmcc LOCAL_NS doesn;t work with DECnet/OSI LOCAL" by MAYDAY::ANDRADE (The sentinel (.)(.)) Wed Apr 06 1994 17:20

    
    I am setting up DECmcc v1.3 / POLYcenter for a client in a small LAN.
    
    All the client nodes are running DECnet/OSI with the LOCAL: naming
    option. Including the station running DECmcc.
    
    In DECmcc I also choose the local naming option (i.e. LOCAL_NS:)
    
    my problem is this, when I try to register a net/osi node, I only
    get partial registrations because the entity LOCAL_NS:.xxx doesn't
    exist... !!!
    
    %%% in another words I can't register, because it isn't registered ???
    
    I did manage one registration "node 0", so now I can proudly monitor
    node LOCAL_NS:.0  and no others !!! How can i make this work ...
    will creating a private DNS for the DECmcc change anything or will
    it still refuse to register.

    SOLUTION:
    
    Use sys$system:decnet_loc_register.com to load TOWER information
    into the DECnet/OSI LOCAL: cache.
    
    Docs says it should work without, if a bit slower, but as far as
    MCC v1.3 is concerned NO TOWERS = NO ENTITY.
