435.0. "limit on no. of attribute groups?" by ASD::KRISHNA (Ritu) Fri Oct 26 1990 18:01

I am working on TCPIP Performance Analyzer statistics.  I would like to be able
to have two attribute groups: one for TRAFFIC an one for ERROR.   I have added
the two attribute groups in my MSL, but I have a problem.   If I try to get
to the attribute groups from the FCL, it works fine (almost!  See next note on
that) but if I try to get the attribute groups from the Iconic Map, I can get 
only one.   My question is this, Does Iconic Map have a limit on how many
attribute groups I can have?

435.1More info pleaseVERNA::V_GILBERTFri Oct 26 1990 18:196
The Iconic Map has no limit on how many attribute groups it can have.

Could you describe you problem in more detail-- are you not seeing the 
attribute groups in the Map Operations Menu or what.

435.2Don't see the second attr. grp in pulldown menuASD::KRISHNARituSat Oct 27 1990 12:456
    Yes, When I go to a pulldown menu for SHOW, I see all the attribute
    partitions and for the attribute group, out of the two attribute groups
    that I have in my MSL, I only see one of them, I have ERROR and
    TRAFFIC, I only see ERROR attribute group in the pulldown menu for
    show.  If you alphabetize the two attribute groups, ERROR is the first
    one!
435.3check the dictionaryGOSTE::CALLANDERMon Oct 29 1990 19:5317
    a quick thing to note, especially if you have been playing around
    with your dictionary during the coding phase, is that the FCL will
    go to the parse table in determining what groups are supported,
    but the Iconic map will go to the dictionary to make this decision.
    For that reason you should get into the dictionary manager and check
    to see that the dictionary knows about the group. What happens during
    developement sometimes is that the parse tables and dictionary get
    out of synch. For groups this is almost impossible to find except
    by explicitly looking for it (since the attributes themselves still
    exist in the partitions and can therfore still be looked up for
    output).
    
    I know this can be confusing but give the dictionary a quick check.

There is no limit on the number of attribute groups, BUT there was a bug in
the code and the first group was ignored!!!

Should be fixed for EFT.  Thanks for noticing it and telling us.
