120.0. "What's wrong with this picture?" by NSSG::R_SPENCE () Thu May 03 1990 20:43

    Looking at the output below it would seem that either the last command
    should work, or things seem inconsistant. What am I missing? I RTFMed
    and pawed through the help but I am still puzzled.

    	Since the MCC command was "show node4 claudi" (#1), shouldn't the
    line which says which entity being looked at also specify this entity
    in the same manner as the command was stated (#2).  Therefore, the line
    "Node4 4.158", should be "Node4 CLAUDI".

120.2RE .0 and .1GOSTE::CALLANDERFri May 04 1990 19:1028
    RE .1
    
    Okay, here is how things work.
    
    User makes a request, specifying any valid identifier. In this case
    Node4 supports both a name and an address identifier. So you could
    ask for Node4 claudi or Node4 4.158. 
    
    When the AM gets the request it does the action specified, in this
    case it was a show all identifiers, and formulates a response. The
    MCC SRM states that the entity identifier returned is always the
    primary identifier. For Node4 that is the Address. 
    
    The PM then displays the returned entity instance, Node4 4.158,
    and not the one entered by the user.
    

    RE .0

    I don't know why the directory stuff didn't work. I will check into
    this to see if there is a problem here. Since the PM converts the
    "address" attribute into the "identifiers" attribute partition before
    passing the command to the FM, both commands I would have expected
    to work. More when I see what is happening.

120.3Directory ... All Identifiers not supported?TOOK::GUERTINWherever you go, there you are.Fri May 04 1990 19:3318
    re:-1
    
    Jill,
    
       I believe there was a problem with Directory not supporting All
    Identifiers.  I think you just call it with Null when someone enters
    MCC> Dir node4 claudi
    
    Try
    MCC> Dir node4 claudi all identifiers
    and see if you get back
    %MCC-E-NOTFOUND,  Dispatch entry for the specified entity does not
    
    If you do, then that explains it.  Hopefully, Config will support all
    identifiers in the near future.  Also, I seem to remember reading
    something about this in the release notes.

    re: .3
    You are right. I did
    
    MCC> dir node4 claudi all identifiers
    %MCC-E-NOTFOUND,  Dispatch entry for the specified entity does not
    exist
    MCC>
    
    Sigh... I guess I missed it in the release notes.

120.5Action, or not?TOOK::STRUTTColin StruttTue May 08 1990 00:1715
    Technical nit.....
    
    Is DIRECTORY an action command or not? If an action command, then
    the default ALL IDENTIFIERS should not be provided (in the PM) and
    the translation of individual attribute names to the appropriate
    partition(s) should not occur (in the PM).
    
    If the PM and FM (Config in this case) both agree that DIRECTORY is
    an action directive, then the problem Rob found should not occur.
    
    [Note that this discussion does not presume that DIRECTORY *should* be
    an action directive, just pointing out a ramification where it is
    *not* an action directive.]

120.6examine directive "directory"GOSTE::CALLANDERTue May 08 1990 15:188
    it is currently defined as an examine directive, that is why you
    can type "Directory" followed by any attribute/partition/group.
    The reason that "directory <name>" works without supplying an
    "A" is because the TRM  special cases to allow it to pass the
    parse without appending the default "all identifiers".
