849.0. "reports help" by JETSAM::WOODCOCK () Wed Mar 27 1991 18:08

Hi,

I am using DTR V5.0, Rdb V3.1b, CDD V4.2, and DECgraph V1.5 but haven't
been successful at cutting a report. Is there something I have overlooked?

I have successfully been exporting on the following entities and have verified
this by SHOW EXPORT <entity>:

	NODE4 BBPK02
	NODE4 BBPK02 LINE SYN-0
	NODE4 BBPK02 CIRCUIT SYN-0

I then try running reports (ANY) and get the following type of error 
in the log file (element "..." not found in dictionary):

$!
$define mcc$node1 "24.541"
$define mcc$line1 "SYN-0"
$define mcc$date1  "27-MAR-1991 09:00:00.00"
$define mcc$date2  "27-MAR-1991 10:00:00.00"
$define mcc$report_file  "BBPK02_0.RPT"
$DTR
VAX Datatrieve V5.0
DEC Query and Report System
Type HELP for help

:node4_line_bandwidth_rpt
Element "NODE4_LINE_BANDWIDTH_RPT" not found in dictionary.
exit


any help appreciated,
brad...

849.1	Reports initialized?	TOOK::ANWARUDDIN	Anwar	`Fri Mar 29 1991 11:50`	5
	re .0 Have you initialized the Reports package? Please check the "Performance Analyzer Function Module Use" manual for initializing and using the package.

	> Have you initialized the Reports package? Please check the "Performance > Analyzer Function Module Use" manual for initializing and using the package. When all else fails read the DOCS. This only works with up to date DOCS. I pulled over the new DOC set and of course the INITIALIZE info was there. Thanks for your patience. BTW - Are there any known probs with cutting LINE reports? I seem to be able to get node reports first pass but I failed on getting LINE stuff. thanks, brad...
849.3	did you set a line speed?	TOOK::CALLANDER		`Tue Apr 02 1991 12:53`	0
849.4	Node Number = "node name"	NSSG::R_SPENCE	Nets don't fail me now...	`Tue Apr 02 1991 14:21`	4
	Did you use the Node Number (in place of Node Name)? It is described in the release notes. s/rob
849.5	line reports ok now	JETSAM::WOODCOCK		`Wed Apr 03 1991 16:35`	13
	RE:-2 Yes, I did have a LINE SPEED set. And RE:-1 Yes, I had caught the info about node numbers in the release notes. I decided to drop back to ground zero with this stuff to ensure I wasn't tripping on anything else set up by others prior to my testing. I'm not sure where the problem was but most seems well at this point (it looks like I still need a DECgraph reinstall because it doesn't invoke properly). I was looking for some quick tests just to ensure functions work at this point. Success for now, I'll get back to it in detail after I get some of our other more important kinks worked out. brad...
849.6	Line traffic report or Line error report?..	TOOK::ANWARUDDIN	Anwar	`Fri Apr 05 1991 14:05`	7
	When you say line reports, do you mean Line traffic report or Line error report? I think the Line error report needs some fields from the Circuit statistics relation. So if you haven't exported circuit data you will not get the Line error report.
