61.0. "QUESTION - How to force MM's to image-merge" by DSTEG::MCCANN () Fri Feb 23 1990 19:37

It's my understanding that when MCC is started from DCL, the kernel and the
TRM PM are the only components initially activated.  Other MM's are image-merged
the first time they are needed.

I'd like to know how I can force specific MM's to be image-merged.

For instance, does the command

	MCC> show mcc DNA4_AM all characteristics

cause the DNA4_AM to be image-merged?

How about the command

	MCC> test mcc DNA4_AM

Ideally I'd like to force each MM to be image-merged with the least amount of
extraneous activity.  I don't want to invoke any functions in the MM, I just
want it to be image-merged.  I particularly don't want to generate any network
activity.

Thanks in advance...

61.1TEST will do itGOSTE::CALLANDERFri Feb 23 1990 21:0216
    
    I figure you want to do this for performance testing reasons; and
    you are on the right track. Since the self management section of
    each module is part of the module itself, then calling the test
    command for each module (and you must do the TRM too!) will do the
    trick.
    
    TEST MCC DECNET_AM
    TEST MCC TRM
    TEST MCC ALARMS
    TEST MCC DNA5_AM
    TEST MCC CONFIG
    TEST MCC CONTROL
    TEST MCC ........

When I invoke MCC from DCL at a terminal, and I get the MCC> prompt, hasn't the
TRM PM already been merged?  If not, then what is presenting the MCC> prompt to
me?  Perhaps I've misunderstood what the TRM PM does.  If I issue the command
TEST MCC TRM, doesn't the TRM PM parse the command line?  And if it's parsing
the command line (and whatever it does after that), hasn't it already been
merged?

So many questions... So little time...

Thanks again,

Jack
61.3INFO - TRM self management functionsGOSTE::CALLANDERWed Feb 28 1990 20:0019
    
    Each module, including PMs, must provide a set of services for self
    management. These services are available via the call function/access
    (actually in the access dispatch tables) routines. 
    
    When you first start the director up the PM functions are immediately
    availble, but the self management functions must be enrolled. Do
    this by entering the:
    
    	MCC> ENROLL MCC$UI_TRM
    
    command. After this you will be able to get at the SHOW MCC TRM xxx   
    functions.
    
    Now also note that if you run the mcc$startup procedure you will
    find that everything is enrolled for you.
