2149.5Still problem with modify exporting + additional questioBIS1::COLLEYEMon Jan 27 1992 09:2143
Sam,

In fact, this is what I did (de-register/re-register the node) to solve the 
recording issue (see note 2148.3) on last Thursday (23-jan)

But I did not re-issue a new export command. 
I just tried to modify/suspend/resume the previously (17-jan) created 
exporting ...

I now again de-register/re-register the node and created again the exporting
(export command from iconic map) ---> OK.

However, if I try to do a show recording (that I had initiated last Thursday
noon (23 jan) - after you note note 2148.3 - and that completed on Thursday 
evening)... again the same message "No recording for the specified entity and 
partition"
    
I created again the recording (record command from iconic map) ---> OK.

I can now show/suspend/resume/modify recording and could show/suspend/resume 
exporting. 
    
Modify exporting still displays the same message (No corresponding entity
instance exists)
    
Anyway, the modify operation took place: I have only changed the export 
    period and I can see the new export period in a show exporting;
    however export pools are still performed with the old (defined at
    export command time) export period.
Later attempts to suspend/resume exporting do not work anymore 
(No corresponding entity instance exists)


QUESTIONS
=========

From all this may I conclude that each time a node is de-registred/re-registred
all the previous exporting/recording are lost ?

Any advise for the modify exporting ? Isn't it the reason of the corruption
of the MIR ? Did I do anything wrong ?

Maurice.

	Let's create a clean environment for Exporter FM.
  Please, delete MCC_COMMON:MCC*.MCC_EXP* files. (I assume that you run on 
  VMS, am I right?) Note that that after this you lose all exporting requests. 
  It will not effect Historian.
	
	
>From all this may I conclude that each time a node is de-registred/re-registred

	Yes and no.

	If there is an active exporting request and you re-register a target
  entity the background process suspend this request. All Exporter's command
  (except Export) can access this request but it can not be enabled. For
  example, Resume Exporting will tell you that request is resumed but the
  background process will suspend it again. So only Show Exporting and Delete
  Exporting have a meaning in this situation. You can specify an Export command
  and it will create a new request. After this the old request is not accessible.

   Thank you for your advise. I tried it but the modify export still does 
   not work.
   I have reproduced the problem in batch mode (it is the same in interactive 
   mode from the iconic map in ONE DECmcc session - i.e. without leaving 
   DECmcc): please refer to the attached batch log file for the details.
   Notes: 1) we are running - VMS 5.5
                             - DECmcc BMS V1.1 (released kit + 2 alarm patches
                                                from notes 1267)
          2) During the batch job, no de-registration of .dna_node.TPLAB 
             occured:
               $
               $ sh tim
                 28-JAN-1992 11:48:47

                 Timestamp _ 27-JAN-1992 09:41:28.25 aa-00-04-00-74-c0
               $
               $   
   I would be very gratefull if you could examine the log file in appendix 
   and provide me with other advises.

   Thank you for your answer. To be honnest, I do not understand it.
   Potentially, I did not state my question clearly enough:

   First of all, this seccond issue (recording issue) is totally unrelated
   to the first issue (exporting issue).
   From the iconic map PM:
   - I started a recording with an end time and leave DECmcc.
   - In a next DECMcc session, after the completion of the recording 
     (specified end time), I could do a show recording for the specified 
      entity and partion (state was supended)
   - In the same session, I de-registered that entity and re-registered again 
     (with same (DNS) name), saving the map.
   - After that operation, I could not do a show recording anymore
     (message: "No recording for specified entity and partition"), neither
     in the same DECmcc session nor in a new DECmcc session.
   Question: what is the reason of this behaviour ?
    


Thank you very much for your support so far.

Maurice.

	Maurice,

1.	I'm sorry,I should ask about the MCC version earlier.

	The Exporter V1.1 has a bug in Modify Exporter command.
  The "export target" argument must be entered in upper case. The problem is
  that if this argument is entered in the wrong case the corresponding 
  exporting request is corrupted. This bug is fixed in V1.2. 
  There is a work around for V1.1. You can use MCC_EXP_RDB_FILE logical defined
  to the correct Rdb file specification and do NOT use an "export target"
  argument at all. 

2.
>   First of all, this seccond issue (recording issue) is totally unrelated
>   to the first issue (exporting issue).
>   From the iconic map PM:
>   - I started a recording with an end time and leave DECmcc.

	You should be able to do a Show Recording after you deregister a 
  target entity.

	Is the new registered name is in the same case as the old one?

    After re-registration is done the background process will suspend the
    corresponding request. In order to continue data collecting you should
    re-create this request.
    
2149.9Modify exporting work-around works !BIS1::COLLEYEThu Jan 30 1992 07:5914
    Sam,
    
    1. You are right: I tried your work-around and it works !
    
    2. Quite honestly, I have detected the historian (recording) and 
       exporting issues almost in the same time, making a lot of tests
       to see if I could find what I did wrong; potentially, as a
       consequence of the 2 issues testing interferences, I have
       made a conclusion too quickly; by the way, what is the DECmcc
       version of test you inserted in .8 ?
    
    Again, many thanks your your support !
    
    Maurice.
