1503.0. "Naming conventions in the Iconic Map" by HANNAH::B_COBB () Fri Sep 13 1991 11:35

    I would like to add a bunch of Phase 4 nodes to MCC.  I would like to
    use the Iconic Map to see the layout.  I can register the nodes ok
    now and I give it a synonym but when the map shows up it has ".DNA_NODE"
    in front of all the names.  I would like to just have a period in 
    front of the node name.  I have seen examples of this, but cannot
    achieve the results.  I am doing the following:
    
    MCC> REGISTER .DNA_NODE.NEWSYS SYNONYM NEWSYS
    
    MCC> POPULATE DOMAIN TAS_NET SELECT LIST=(NODE4 .DNA_NODE.NEWSYS)
    
    The above command works fine, but the map has the ".DNA_NODE" in front 
    of it.  
    
    I have tried:
    
    MCC> POPULATE DOMAIN TAS_NET SELECT LIST=(NODE4 NEWSYS) 
    
    			and
    
    MCC> POPULATE DOMAIN TAS_NET SELECT LIST=(NODE4 .NEWSYS)
    
    with no luck.  
    
    Also I have tried to register it without the .DNA_NODE before the node
    name and got:
    
    
    The requested operation cannot be completed
                          MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-INCONSISTENTCLA, specified
                                              class is inconsistent with
    					      entity class
    
    
    Any suggestions on how to get this to work?  I have tried to do this
    from the Iconic Map and the same results occur.
    
    Any help is appreciated.

1503.1Don't have to register under .DNA_NODETOOK::TANEd TanFri Sep 13 1991 12:4941
    If you register your node4 with the following command,
    
    	REGISTER NODE4 .DNA_NODE.NEWSYS SYNONYM NEWSYS
    
    it is stored as .DNA_NODE.NEWSYS in DNS (VMS system). If you put your
    node4 in a domain and you bring up the map, the name under the icon is
    going to be .DNA_NODE.NEWSYS. I don't think you can remove the
    ".DNA_NODE" from it (Maybe I am wrong).
    
    In setting up DECmcc, in DNS there is a child (directory) called
    .DNA_NODE. However, when you register your node4, you don't have to put
    the name in this directory. You can do the following,
    
    	REGISTER NODE4 .NEWSYS SYNONYM NEWSYS
    
    and the node4 will be stored with the name .NEWSYS in DNS. This way,
    when you put it in a domain and bring up the map, the name under the
    icon will be .NEWSYS.
    
    The fact that you get the error
    
    The requested operation cannot be completed
    	     		  MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-INCONSISTENTCLA, specified
    					      class is inconsistent with
    					      entity class
    
    
    when you register an entity is because the name that you use for
    register is already used by another entity class. You might already
    have a bridge or station or node or ... using this name. The way to
    find out is do the following,
    
    MCC> DIRECTORY station .NEWSYS
    MCC> DIRECTORY bridge .NEWSYS
    MCC> DIRECTORY node .NEWSYS
    
    	...etc...
    
    ..... and for all the different classes of entity in your system.
    
    Does this help?

    Thanks for the help.  It did work.  I had a duplicate name.  A station
    had the same name.  
    
    Thanks
