2853.0. "ELMS AM Lan Autotopology Problem with V1.2.17" by BELMNT::BEAZLEY () Fri Apr 24 1992 21:24



     When Trying to execute the LAN Autoplology procedure from the 
   Applications pulldown, the following error is issued in a pop-up
   window.

             unsupported entity, verb or partition


    Is the MCC_RESOURCE.DAT file being modified correctly?  The reason
   I ask is because there is no reference to the Lan Autotopology
   procedure.



           Thanks,

             Bob

2853.1Need more infoQUIVER::HAROKOPUSFri Apr 24 1992 21:4122
Hi Bob,

It sounds like a dictionary and/or dispatch table problem.

Can you try the following and post the results here?

$manage/tool/dict
DAP>show class mcc subclass iconicmap subclass application subclass 
    lan_topology_pm


Also try the following:

$manage/enter

MCC>test mcc 0 iconicmap application lan_topology_pm
MCC>show mcc 0 iconicmap application lan_topology_pm all char


Thanks,

Bob

2853.3Dispatch table problemQUIVER::HAROKOPUSMon Apr 27 1992 14:1415
Bob,


The dictionary entry for for the LAN topology PM is fine so it looks like
it's a problem with your dispatch tables.   Could you do the following
directories and post it here?

Thanks,

Bob


$dir/date/size mcc_system:mcc_dispatch_table.dat

2853.5Your dispatch table is oldQUIVER::HAROKOPUSMon Apr 27 1992 14:4824
Hi Bob,

I looks like you have an old dispatch table.  The STARTAPPLILCATION directive
code (that's the directive that starts the LAN topology PM) has been
changed recently.   

The following should fix the problem:

$delete mcc_system:MCC_DISPATCH_TABLE.DAT;1
(or rename it if you want to save it).

$@sys$startup:mcc_startup_bms enroll
$@sys$startup:mcc_startup_elm enroll


You will also have to re-enroll any MMs that you are using that
are not part of BMS or ELM.   (e.g. TSAM).


Directory SYS$SPECIFIC:[MCC]

     Bob,


        Creating a new dispatch table did the trick.


            Thanks,

    This is a common problem, old stuff in MCC_SPECIFIC.

    That's why we felt it was worth mentioning in the DECmcc ELM release
    notes.  (See KNOWN PROBLEMS/RESTRICTIONS, Installation)
