585.0. "Coding DEREGISTER with a simplename identifier? " by ARGOAT::GUIVIER () Thu Jan 03 1991 09:06

    hi,
    
    	I have declared into my parent entity one primary-identifier,
    which type is Simplename. My problem is how supporting a DEREISTER
    DEREGISTER directive with this identifier, because I think that
    the deregister need a full name. Do I have to declare as primary
    identifier a fullname and as secondary a simplename...I need to 
    manipulate simple names in my AM, so I need to keep it also.
    But using a private MIR, will decmcc match on both identifiers ?
    
    Could somebody give me an idea how I could do ?
    
    Thanks, Pascale.

585.1parsing identifiers versus dns identifiersGOSTE::CALLANDERThu Jan 03 1991 14:5729
    
    First let's make sure we are using the same terminology.
    
    DNS primary and secondary identifiers say which identifiers are
    to be used in the registration process; and YES the primary must
    be a fullname.
    
    The primary and secondary identifiers, as used by the parser specify
    in what order the identifiers are to be checked for when parsing
    the entity's identifier; this order is determined by the NAME=(<list>)
    field in  your .MS file. For the register and deregister to work
    you have to make sure that your dns identifier is in the list of
    all primary and secondary identifiers.
    
    The reason these are different is because dns fullnames are VERY
    robust and can be entered in so many forms that if listed as the
    primary identifier for most entity classes it would always be found
    as the match (ex: a simple name is a subset of a fullname, a phase
    4 name looks just like a fullname, so do ethernet addresses).
    
    Make sure to look at the input formats in chapter 9 of the SRM if
    you don't know what their potential input formats are, and think
    about which identifiers are  your dns  identifieres and what order
    fo rthe entity class you use in defining you primary and secondary
    identiers.
    
    Maybe some one has less ambiguous terms for these but I hope you
    understand the difference.
