I would like to be able to install the DECmcc Toolkit on our main development cluster but cannot have DECmcc Director or BMS on it because it uses the DEC: default namespace. The reason is that we perform all of our source code builds on this cluster and I want to be able to automatically process the MSL files through MMS if they have changed. It would then automatically invoke DAP to update a private dictionary that we also have on this cluster. I realize that currently the Toolkit requires DECmcc Director or BMS to be previously installed in order to install. Can this requirement change in the future? Can anyone suggest a quick (and preferably clean) way of being able to run both the MSL translator and DAP on this cluster without the Director? Regards, John

First, DAP comes with the Director and BMS kits, not the Toolkit. Next, the BMS and DIR kits create directories and an "environment" that the Toolkit tools use. I, personally, don't see that the tools are much use without the API. A better solution to the problem the way you've stated it might be to improve DECmcc's usage of, and relationship to, DNS. That problem is being worked, but that is a future, though not all that distant. For the present, you could make yourself a distributed build environment using MMS, CMS, DFS, and DECmcc Director or BMS and Toolkit, the DECmcc pieces on a cluster or system where you don't have namespace restrictions. I've sent you mail about this. Ruth Kohls | |||||
