1683.0. "Nodes autoplaced" by GRANPA::DJAMES () Mon Oct 21 1991 14:39

    When I open a domain using the  iconic map, I sometimes get  all of the
    nodes placed in the upper left hand corner of the window. There is also
    a message that the node in the map were autoplaced. I make sure that I
    save the map window each time I make changes. What is it that I am
    doing wrong?

1683.1Check MCC_MAPS logical...MEHR::MEHRMon Oct 21 1991 15:5314
    
    
    	Make sure your logical MCC_MAPS points to the correct location.
    	($ Show logical MCC_MAPS). Especially if you had installed MCC dir 
    	on a different disk than System disk.
    
    	It seems that when you save a map it might store it in one directory
        (ie: in SYS$SPECIFIC) but looks for it in a different directory!
        (ie: SYS$COMMON).
    
	Please post your results...

    also make sure you are the only one adding stuff to the map,
    and no one is touching you map files.
    
    
1683.3Make MCC_MAPS point to a specific placeTOOK::R_SPENCENets don't fail me now...Fri Nov 08 1991 19:2214
    The default definition for MCC_MAPS when you install the system causes
    it to look in and write to the "Current" directory. That is, where
    ever you are currently SET DEFault.
    
    If you change your directory often or access DECmcc from different
    usernames, then you will have map files written all over the place.
    
    As suggested in a previous reply, define the logical MCC_MAPS
    to point to a known place. I suggest that you put it in your login.com
    file if you are only one of many independant users of DECmcc or, if
    there are users in several usernames that should be coordinating
    all use of DECmcc, then make it a group or system logical.

1683.4ICONS autoplaced, then disappear.CUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentWed Nov 27 1991 01:5815
    I've recently completed the installation of DECmcc on a new system and
    was in the process of rebuilding maps when I noticed this problem, too.
    When I save my map, I lose icons.  They are also being deleted from my
    domain.      What's going on??
    
     1.   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC MCC_MAPS SYS$SPECIFIC:[MCC]       ! Done
     2.   I'm the only user, so no conflict.
     3.   These are brand new maps created using an editor (initially),
          then refined via the IMPM.
     4.   I can verify that the new version of each map goes in 
          SYS$SPECIFIC:[MCC].
     
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

1683.5what type of devicesTOOK::CALLANDERMCC = My Constant CompanionTue Jan 07 1992 13:235
    
    did you happen to notice what class of device it was that you
    were losing icons on? node4's, snmp's?
    
    
1683.6same problem with domain of 130 stationsBACHUS::FOLENSThu Jun 25 1992 08:489
    Any progress on this problem?
    I discovered the same problem on a customer site in a domain where 130
    DECserver's are registered as station's. The customer saves the map and
    then exits from mcc. When he restarts it a number of stations are
    autoplaced on the top of the map (sometimes the same station appears
    twice on the map) and also some stations have disappeared.

1683.7Problem solvedBACHUS::FOLENSFri Jun 26 1992 12:147
    
    Solved the problem by printing the map file and comparing what members
    are in this domain via the MCC-character-cell interface.
    Some entity's found in the MCC directory were missing in the map file.
