196.1installation problem.....REDBCK::mikeMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGMon Jul 23 1990 04:5915
Hi,
I tried to install this, but it fails on a MANAGE/TOOLKIT/DICTIONARY
command with %LIB-F-DELTIMREQ, delta time required, absolute time supplied

I have installed
MCCBMSUT011 dated 5 jul
MCCBMS2X011 dated 19 jul
MCCTKUT011  dated 3 jul
MCCTCPIPUT010 dated 19 jul

Are these versions compatible?
Is there any other reason this would fail?

Thanks,
Mike
196.2Check MCC_TDFTENERE::FLAUWMon Jul 23 1990 06:2410
Mike,

What is the value of MCC_TDF on your system ?  If TDF is positive, it may 
explain your error. 

See note 169.2 for details.

Regards,

Marc.
196.3Looks like a bug to meREDBCK::mikeMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGMon Jul 23 1990 07:029
re: .2
Absolutely right.
If I define MCC_TDF to be -4:00 then it works 
If I define it to be 10:00 or +10:00 (which is AEST)
then it fails with the invalid time bit.

How do I report this problem?

Mike

    This problem has already been reported and is being worked on.
    Sorry I don't have the QAR number handy.

	Mike,

	Sorry for the delay, I wanted to check with the kernel team, since this
	is a bug in the kernel.

	Yes, it has been reported and fixed.

	How goes it?

196.6Entities disappear off iconic mapREDBCK::mikeMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGTue Jul 31 1990 02:0712
re: .5
Thanks for that.

It seems pretty good so far, especially the iconic map PM.

There does seem to be a problem with SNMP where all the snmp nodes
disappear off the map when you quit and then reinvoke MCC.
Note that everything else on the map seems fine. DNA4 nodes, domains and
connecters all stay, but the SNMP entities vanish from the map and you
can't 'find' them either.

196.7no map yetMKNME::DANIELETue Jul 31 1990 11:426
	Mike,

	The internal field test version of the Iconic Map PM doesn't support
	SNMP entities.

196.9Not quite accurate...MAVIC::D_MOORETue Jul 31 1990 21:1817
Re: .7
>>	The internal field test version of the Iconic Map PM doesn't support
>>	SNMP entities.  

  This is not quite true.  For the IFT of Domains and the Iconic Map only a
  specific few entities were supported.  For the IFT Update release this
  restriction has been lifted.  There are a few requirements which must be
  met in order to deal with a new entity in the map, but, if they are provided,
  we are supporting new entities.  (I will enter a new note detailing these
  requirements.)  All of these requirements have just become available with
  the new releases if the Iconic Map and the TCP/IP SNMP AM.  Cross testing
  is now possible.  If all goes well, SNMP entities will be able to be dealt
  with without new software for either MM.  If fixes are needed, they will
  occur in a subsequent (next) field test release.  So, watch this space!

196.11EFT Update availableMKNME::DANIELEFri Aug 31 1990 19:5528
	The DECmcc TCP/IP SNMP Access Module for VMS, external field test
	update ( UT1.0.1 ) product is available.
	The kit is on node CSEVEN ( 31.16 ):

	Directory CSEVEN$DUA1:[DANIELE.PUBLIC.TCPIP_EFT]

	Total of 3 files, 1136 blocks.                      

	The update consists of:

		o a bugfix when operating with alarms
		o now returns the identifiers for the ATTable and TCP.ConnTable
		  child entities
		o now allows an SNMP community name to be specified on a SHOW
		  directive, before was only for SET.

	The dictionary is unchanged, so when installing, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO
	LOAD THE DICTIONARY AND REBUILD THE PARSE TABLE.

	This kit is also the start of the SQM 30-day quiet period.

	Thanks,
	Mike
196.12Installation require UT010 ?GSFMCC::SYSTEMWed Sep 05 1990 14:009

196.13nopeMKNME::DANIELEWed Sep 05 1990 16:415
	No, you can install this on a 'clean' BMS or Director.
	I just wanted to point out that you can save alot of time if
	you are upgrading the TCP/IP SNMP AM.

196.14Upgrade Vs. complete buildGSFMCC::SYSTEMWed Sep 05 1990 17:1110
Hi,

	I just done the installation of the UT010 version anyway, therefore
	I should just have to upgrade with the new kit without building the 
	parse table again, is that correct ??

	Thanks for the quick reply for .12

196.17just the .exe changedMKNME::DANIELEWed Sep 05 1990 19:3926
	Re .14, 15 & 16:

	There is no change to the dictionary, the parse tables, or help,
	between the TCP/IP SNMP AM T1.0.0 vs T1.0.1.

	The only change is to the file MCC_TCPIP_AM.EXE.

	If you have already installed T1.0.0 of the AM, then you can either
	copy the .exe off of saveset B yourself, or run the installation
	procedure.  If you choose the latter, to save time, you should answer
	"NO" to the following questions:

 * Do you want to update the MCC Dictionary and the parse tables [YES]? 
                                                                        
 * Do you want to update the MCC Help file [YES]?                       

	It won't break anything to update these files, it will just cost
	you a few hours for no reason.

	Sorry I didn't make this clearer before.

	As regards an icon, I don't believe we have one, but will defer to
	someone from the Iconic Map PM group.

	Regards,
	Mike
