1177.0. "can't add new domains to an exisisting domain" by HLRG02::STAG2 () Fri Jun 21 1991 09:09

Hi, we're facing a veery strange problem with DECmcc here,

Shortly said: We have a domain and we can register anything in it
              except domains.


Description of our problem:

We have a domain world with a domain in it : europe

This domain Europe contains the domain utrecht. This domain is the
domain that causes the problems.

If we try to register, for example, a node4 in domain utrecht everything
works fine, but if we register a domain in the domain utrecht it goes wrong:

In the iconic_map_pm :

     o We visualize the toolbox
     o We double click on the domain-icon
     o We supply the new domain name
     o DECmcc displays window: Domain is not created fill in the form below.
     o We fill in the form
     o DECmcc displays message: Move pointer to map-window and click MB1
     o We do so
     o DECmcc displays the message: Operation cannot be completed:
				    Domain is not registered

We thought that the domain would be registered automaticly in this procedure; 
for example by asking for the reference attributes to be supplied.

Note : We can register domains in all other domains :
       world, europe and all the other domains in the hierarchy,
       but not in utrecht.

Besides this problem we have another problem that arised at the same time as
the above problem:

If we start DECmcc by manage/enter/inter=decwindows
By default the world domain is opened.
If we double click on europe it works fine.
If we then double click on utrecht it opens the domain but with
the following error:
	One or more global entities is deregistered. Unable to display them.

If we enable notification the same error appears independed of the domain we
are in at that moment (even if we are in the view rule window).

We have upgraded our DECmcc from version 1.0 to 1.1 and we suspect that
the problems are caused by this upgrade (they started to apear after the 
upgrade). 

The question is  What can be the cause of this problem and is there a
                 solution to this problem ?

1177.1DNS problems?MLNEDU::GIAMMARINIRemember...you must die!!Fri Jun 21 1991 09:3510
    Your problems could derive from DNS. DECmcc domains are recorded as
    objects inside the DNS structure and not like directories. Verify the
    name of your domain Utrecht, its name should not be a DNS directory
    name ( domain name = Utrecht not domain name = .Utrecht). I had similar
    problems when I attended the DECmcc BMS V1.1 course.
    If the problem is that described above, create, using the iconic map,
    another domain with the right name and put all the entity you defined
    into the old domain in it.

1177.2Clearing deregistered domain members.TOOK::A_MOOREMon Jun 24 1991 11:0517
The error message   One or more global entities is deregistered.

means that that an entity that belonged to the domain utrecht was deregistered
but not deleted as member from the the domain.  This can occur if the domain
is proctected from the user doing the deregistration.  There are two cures:

From command line interface FCL Do a SHOW DOMAIN utrecht MEMBER *  command.
The specialized exception for deregistered members will identify the deregistered
member.  
 	1. With FCL, Delete the member from domain DELETE DOMAIN utrecht MEMBER x

	2. Register the entity that was deregistered.

The upgrade from V1.0 to V1.1 should not cause problem unless there were early
field test versions.
