1417.0. "MCCELM FDDI/OPTICAL BYPASS STATE error" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Thu Aug 29 1991 02:23

I had the MCCELM010 FT kit installed sometime ago and recently updated to
the V1.0 version.  This version was the one for those who had the FT 
installed earlier.

It was a full installation with dictionary and parse table built.

The FDDI STATE and OPTICAL BYPASS STATE for LINE, shows up as unknown 
attributes.

The log file is below:

$MCC
DECmcc (V1.1.0)

SHOW MCC 0 CONC_AM ALL CHAR

MCC 0 CONC_AM 
AT 29-AUG-1991 10:57:40 Characteristics

Examination of attributes shows:
               Component Identification = "DECmcc Concentrator AM"
                      Component Version = V1.0.0

SHOW CONC DC500A LINE 1 ALL FDDI STATE
%MCC-W-ATTRUNKNOWN, unknown attribute FDDI

SHOW CONC DC500A LINE 1 ALL OPTICAL BYPASS STATE
%MCC-W-ATTRUNKNOWN, unknown attribute OPTICAL

SHOW MCC 0 BRIDGE_AM ALL CHAR

MCC 0 BRIDGE_AM 
AT 29-AUG-1991 10:57:41 Characteristics

Examination of attributes shows:
               Component Identification = "DECmcc Bridge AM"
                      Component Version = V1.2.0

SHOW BRIDGE DB500A LINE 1 ALL FDDI STATE
%MCC-W-ATTRUNKNOWN, unknown attribute FDDI

SHOW BRIDGE DB500A LINE 1 ALL OPTICAL BYPASS STATE
%MCC-W-ATTRUNKNOWN, unknown attribute OPTICAL
EXIT

What could be causing this problem?

1417.1Remove the word 'ALL'WLYWLD::SZABIETTue Sep 03 1991 19:0414
    Raj,
    
    Try entering your FDDI STATE and OPTICAL BYPASS STATE commands 
    without using the word 'ALL'.  Use 'ALL' when you wish to see 
    all attributes that belong to a partition.
    
    MCC> SHOW CONC DC500A LINE 1 FDDI STATE
    MCC> SHOW CONC DC500A LINE 1 OPTICAL BYPASS STATE
    
    MCC> SHOW CONC DC500A LINE 1 ALL CHAR
                                 ^^^
    Hope this helps,

Linda is right on target. To check out the acceptable attribute names
they should be in the on-line help (if they have one). You can also
use the PF@ context sensitive help from the fcl forms mode to find out
what valida partitions are supported for this entity class.


1417.3Still the sameZPOVC::RAMARAJWed Sep 04 1991 15:0110
    Linda,
    
    Even without the ALL, its the same error, unknown attribute FDDI or
    OPTICAL BYPASS.
    
    Jill,
    
    In forms the valid partitions does not show FDDI or OPTICAL BYPASS.

1417.4how to look up the right parseable nameGOSTE::CALLANDERSat Sep 07 1991 12:4733
    Raj,
    
    It really looks like you are entering the syntax wrong for the command.
    At this point the only easy way to find out what the real names
    for the attributes are, are to go to the source.
    
    When you rebuilt the parse tables at installation time, did you
    happen to keep around the MCC_PTB_PARSER.DAT file? this file contains
    a listing of all valid directive/entity combinations including the
    attribute names. Check that file for the list of valid attribute
    combinations. By the fact that the PF2 key gave you the context
    sensitive help and not an error, you must have correctly completed
    the installation.
    
    If you do not have the .DAT around and do not want to create a new
    one, then you will have to check it in DAP.
    
    $manage/tool/dict (requires prives to access the dictionary files)
    DAP> SHOW CLASS CONCENTRATOR SUBCLASS LINE
    
    (mind you, you must enter the class names exactly as registered,
    see on-line help v:show e:PF2 to see the registered names)
    
    This will list all commands and attributes supported for the entity
    class. When you see on that interests you:
    
    DAP> SHOW ATTRIBUTE name_of_interest DEFINITION PRESENTATION_NAME
    
    to see what string the parser expects. Checking the .DAT is definitely
    a fast way if you have it around.
