1497.0. "QUERY: How much of MCC is callable?" by COOKIE::KITTELL (Richard - Architected Info Mgmt) Thu Sep 12 1991 18:51

It is tempting to describe callable MCC as an "MCC where the application
developer controls the user interface". But I wonder. In particular,
can an application built against callable MCC have calls made through 
MCC_CALL dispatched through the two level function-then-access mechanism 
that happens in the director? Or in other words, can our management application
use a directive that is provided by one of our FMs?

If so, would it be accurate to characterize the results of using callable
MCC as an "MCC Director with a custom user-interface"?

If there any capability provided below the PMs that the MCC director can do
that a management application written against callable MCC cannot access
(assuming it knows how)? Events?

Thanks.

    We've confused people with our description of callable MCC.   You
    are right - it's just getting to mcc_call from a program other than 
    one of our PMs.
    
    Our PMs use no interfaces other than mcc_call_function for
    communicating with AMs/FMs.  In theory you could duplicate either
    of our PMs using only the info in the SRM and MRMs.
