1577.0. "DNS-E-DANGLINGLINK ?????" by USTICA::ODOARDI () Wed Oct 02 1991 11:00

	Hello,


	I'm using DECmcc-EMS 1.1 and I've received a strange error message:


	MCC Routine Error  %DNS-E-DANGLINGLINK, Link points to
			   nonexistant entry 



	I try to insert an entity (an area-router) name ".mra.hubres" in a 
	domain but I obtain this message, if I insert another entity of
	every type in the same domain, the register is correct and I haven't 
	problem.

	This entity was already registrated (as ".hubres"), after I delete it 
	for reisert with another name ".mln.hubres" and, for the third time,
	as ".mra.hubres" and now I have this error.

	I've delete the domain in DECmcc and the directory ".mra" in DNS,
	after I've re-created all, but the error is always the same.

	Any suggestions for my problem?

	Thanks in advance,

					Barbara
	


	P.S:  I've searched in the conferences MCC and DNS but I haven't 
	      find help (only one DNS topic mentioned this error but there 
	      wasn't reply).

It seems that the synonym or address-backtranslation link of the 
area-router (phase4 node) is already in the namespace and the
link's target object does not exist in the namespace when you
tried to add a new member (".mra.hubres") to a domain (I guess you're 
using Iconic MAP). Then, MCC tries to register node4 ".mra.hubres"
and finds that either the Synonym or Phase4 address backtranslaion link
already exists in the namespace, but points to a DECdns object
named other than ".mra.hubres", and the object does not exist.


To solve your problem:
   1. register the area-router as ".hubres" (assuming that the sotflink's
      target object is ".hubre") , and de-register the area router 
      (note that removing an entity from the domain DOES NOT de-register 
      the entity, and thus DOES NOT remove the softlinks)
   2. Add a new member, ".mra.hubres", to
      the domain. (The Iconinc map will register the entity
      ".mra.hubres" first, and the add it to the domain)

			MANY THANKS !!!


	Finally I've resolved my problem.

	I've already tried to register the area-router as only ".hubres"
	but I've received the same message either in the Iconic Map and in
	Command Line.

	With "dnsbrowser" I've seen that in dns$synonym this name doesn't 
	exist, so I've tried to search it in the .DNA_BackTranslation.%X49
	(.%X002E for area 46) and I've found it.
	So I've deleted the softlink with dns and, with DECmcc, I register
	".mra.hubres" in the domain and now all is OK.
