6397.0. "%MCC-E-NOTIFEXCP" by GIDDAY::CHONG (Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC ) Mon Nov 06 1995 07:08

A customer modified the map and deregistered some entities from the doamins. 
While in the process of doing that the map crashes. 

Since then, He has been unable to start some of his notifications. 

He gets :

MCC> Notify Domain TAFE:.NORTHERN_SYDNEY
%MCC-S-NOTIFSTART, Notify request 2 started

%MCC-E-NOTIFEXCP, notify request 2 encountered an exception
An error has occurred while determining the contents of the domain.


A check of the domain (show domain member *) show that there are 
some domain members that is deregistered:

	Detected a deregistered Domain Member. TAFE:.ts.bvm101 


The map file does not show the deregistered member . Checked DNS namespace
and verified that the object TAFE:.ts.bvm101 has been removed.

So, I am not sure why notification still thinks that the deregisterd entity
is in the domain. Is there a repository (MIR file) where domain members 
are kept ? 

How do I fix this problem with notification ?


Regards,
Andrew

6397.1	even if entities are deregistered they may still be in the domain	AZUR::DURIF		`Mon Nov 06 1995 11:28`	16
	Hi Andew, > Is there a repository (MIR file) where domain members are kept ? When things go well an entity is deregistered and also removed from all domains. Looks like it was not done in your case. Try a "delete domain xxx member yyy" to remove domain membership. You have to reach a point were "show domain member *" gives no error because the error you get is also seen by the notif_fm and the notification fails. Hope this helps. Benoit

	Benoit, Deleting the deregistered members fixed the problem. thanks, Andrew
6397.3	only works for some.....	GIDDAY::CHONG	Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC	`Thu Nov 09 1995 07:02`	36
	Benoit, While deleting the deregistered members work for some domains, it does nor work for some other domains. MCC> show domain .tcpip member .ip.merx76 Using default ALL IDENTIFIERS Domain TAFE:.tcpip Member TAFE:.ip.merx76 AT 9-NOV-1995 16:44:44 Identifiers Detected a deregistered Domain Member. TAFE:.ip.merx76 MCC> delete Domain TAFE:.tcpip Member TAFE:.ip.merx76 Domain TAFE:.tcpip Member TAFE:.ip.merx76 AT 9-NOV-1995 16:44:57 No such entity: Domain TAFE:.tcpip Member TAFE:.ip.merx76 Unknown Entity = Domain TAFE:.tcpip Member TAFE:.ip.merx76 MCC> exit Whith these domains the notifications still fails..... Any other ideas ? Given that the member does not exist in the map file (*.mcc_map_tcpip) and the obj .ip.merx76 does not exist in dns namespace, then it must detect the presence of the deregistered member from some other database. The question is which database ? Andrew
6397.4	case sensitivity in domain member names	AZUR::DURIF		`Fri Nov 10 1995 11:04`	30
	Hi Andrew, All the information is in DNS. Each domain keeps a list of its members. Sometimes ago we had a case sensitivity problem on domain members. May be the member was created in uppercase and now is not found using lowercase. I suggest : 1. try to delete it using uppercase. 2. Get the new kernel and domain images on node TAEC in directory MCC$PUBLIC:[MCC_V140_PATCHES.DOMAIN.FIX04] 3. install them and try to delete the members. "delete Domain TAFE:.tcpip Member TAFE:.ip.merx76" 4. If ok : nothing more. 5. If ko : the fix will prevent the case sensitivity problem to occur again but does not fix the problem. 6. Keep the fix but you need to delete the domain and then recreate it with the members. Hope this helps, Benoit
