161.0. "Inconsistencies with the TRM PM display of SHOW <entity specs> ALL ATTRIBUTES" by BYBLOS::TAMER () Thu Jun 28 1990 21:28

Hi,

I am noticing a couple of inconsistencies with the TRM PM display of 
SHOW <entity specs.> ALL ATTRIBUTES. These are shown below.

->	Here server y is not enabled, so we should get an exception.	
	While the TRM PM traps all four response replies and displays them in
	one message (with the display line missing), it displays four exception
	messages instead of traping them and displaying only one.

161.1Another similar inconsistencyBYBLOS::TAMERFri Jun 29 1990 15:0031
When I specify individual attributes from different partitions, I get four 
seperate messages (each with a header) with misallignement in screen
positions of attribute ID/value pairs.

161.2thanks... we'll be looking into thisTOOK::DITMARSPeteSat Jun 30 1990 21:4819
Thanks for the problem report.  What version of MCC are you running?

I have been very busy the past week, and haven't had time to investigate all of
your observations.  I think that what you're reporting in .0 are indeed problems 
that need to be addressed (if they haven't already been).  Hopefully I'll be 
able to give you a more satisfactory answer than that in the coming week.

One thing I can give you an answer on is your question in .1 regarding 
misalignment of the attribute ID/value pairs.  What you're seeing is correct
FCL output.  Output is centered around the = sign, with the ID being right
justified and the value being left justified.

I can understand how some folks might not like the format of the FCL PM's
output.  It has its good points and its bad.  We'll be working on this in
the future.

regards,

Pete
161.3Observed on the EFT kitBYBLOS::TAMERMon Jul 02 1990 18:257
.2

I am running the EFT kit. You are right on the misalignment question. When the
result is received as more than one message, the attributes appear misaligned
while in fact they are not.

161.4most of these fixed in eft updateGOSTE::CALLANDERSun Jul 08 1990 19:3620
    
    Some of the items, especially in the area of "all attributes" are
    known and were fixed for the EFT update kit. I believe all of the
    ones mentioned here have been corrected. The strategy aroung the
    "all attributes" display was modifed. We now take into account a
    lot more factors before displaying information to the user. This
    means that is some of the partitions fails while others succeed
    all of the success will be displayed along with one failure message.
    The exception to this rule being the reference partition. Since
    the user has to define all refrerence attributes, if they are not
    present when an "all attributes" requiest is made, the error from
    this request is surpressed.
    
    Other minor changes to the header display was also made.
    
    I would apreciated any more coments you have on format; especially
    after you have had some time with the EFT update.
