6237.0. "Where is MCC DIRECTOR software?" by SALUD::ORTIZ () Fri Feb 17 1995 00:55

    I have just noticed that there is no Polycenter Framework (formerly
    DECmcc Director) savset in the Consolidated distribution CDroms. I see
    MCCBMS and MCCEMS, but no MCCDIRvvu. Was this a mistake? 
    
    Any information on this would be appreciated...
    
    Thanks,
    Richard

6237.1MCC Director was not in V1.3AZUR::DURIFFri Feb 17 1995 09:4211
Hi,

Polycenter Framework (DECmcc Director) was no shipped in V1.3 as it was the
case with V1.2.

Starting to next OpenVMS/VAX Condist (Available by the end of march 1995)
the MCCDIR014 directory will be present.

Hope this helps,

Benoit
6237.2not able to install DECELMS w/DIRECTORSALUD::ORTIZFri Feb 17 1995 17:2610
    Thanks for information, however, my customer has a license for MCC
    Director for 1.3. He installed BMS and then just ran the
    MCC_STARTUP_DIR.COM file. He now wants to install DECELMS and the
    VMSINSTAL aborts when it does a MANAGE/TOOL/DICT and access ALARMS.
    
    Will he need to modify KINSTAL to make this work?
    
    Thanks,
    Richard
    
6237.3Director license does not grant the right to use alarms module.AZUR::DURIFWed Feb 22 1995 16:0612
Hi,

The Director license does not grant the right to use alarms module.

two solutions :
- get a BMS license and you gain access to all BMS features,
- get an ALARMS license which name is DECMCC-NS and you get access to alarms and
  notification fonctions.

No need to install DECELMS kit to get the ALARMS_FM.

   will not work in V1.4; or you will have a lot of screaming from
   the KITINSTAL from BMS and no IVP.

   what did I tell you just 30 sec. ago ?

DECmcc V1.4 does a little better: it check for

	a BMS license loaded (V1.3 will do)
	a DIR and a NS license loaded (V1.3) will do

 	and, of course, in any case an ELMS license


The fact is the ELMS (i.e AM and FM) need ALARMS to work properly.
That is why their installation procedure checks so extensively for it
in the dictionary.

Even if you hack the installation procedures until they "do what you want"
at run-time you might have problems: every Management Module checks for a
valid license 'at a particulary crucial moment'

Solution: 

	1) buy a EMS (or POLYCENTER Network Manager 400) license

	2) buy a BMS (or POLYCENTER Network Manager 200) and a ELMS license

	3) buy a DIR (or POLYCENTER Framework), a Notification Services and a ELMS license


Neither TeMIP nor POLYCENTER Netview are a solution, they don't have ELMS
