| The problem is that it is not clear to most folk what the distinction
is between the the DIRECTORY Spec request the USER sees when creating
a Domain and the MCC_MAPS Logical name that the System Installer sees
when setting up the system.
This is a case where the stovepipe documentation stratagy gets to be a
problem. The Create DOMAIN docs do not explain that the HISTORIAN is
the USER of the directory that is specified when you create the Domain
so the user doesn' t have the needed info available to make the right
desision when the domain is created.
Personally, I am not looking forward to deleting all the domains
Claudia and I have created in order to do them over again with the
directory specification being correct for our installation.
I fear that customers will also invest a LOT of time registering
things, creating domains with things in them, really tuning up their
map files to look great and ONLY Then will they look into recording
information and discover that they may have made ALL the wrong choices
about Domain Directories.
So, to help the person who asked the original question, the location of
your MAP files is directed by the definition of the MCC_MAPS logical
name and the location of data that is stored by the RECORD Directive is
directed by the directory specified at Domain Creation time.
