3153.0. "How to update Directory attribute of Domain ?" by KETJE::PACCO () Tue Jun 09 1992 20:49

    I got the error QCREATERR in the log file of the HISTORIAN background
    process:
    
    ...
$	BTS == "$SYS$SYSTEM:MCC_HISTORIAN_FM_BG.EXE"
$	BTS "Backbone" ""
%MCC-E-QCREATERR, unable to create or open queue file.
  MCC          job terminated at  9-JUN-1992 22:23:16.73
    
    
    	Finally I found that most DECmcc files were transferred to another
    disk, and that all DECmcc logicals in the mcc startup files were
    adapted to match the new situation.
    
    However the Directory characteristic of the DOMAIN was still pointing
    to the old directory.
    
    I thought I would be not too difficult to change this.  I do list
    all DOMAINS and modify the "Directory" characteristic.
    
    DECmcc does however not allow to modify this characteristic.
    I cannot define a system wide logical too because that disk got new
    users who requires the old logical.
    
    Is there any way to move smoothly ALL these files consistently from one
    disk to another and change all references in the MIR to point to the
    new location ?

3153.1There is not an easy way change the directory in domain.TOOK::A_MOOREWed Jun 10 1992 13:139
There is not an easy way to change the directory in a domain.

Although it is too late now a unique logical makes it little easier.

The set directory function has been proposed for several versions.  When
funding comes in it falls on unfunded  section of the list. 
(Along with many other work saving features.)

3153.2Better than nothing.KETJE::PACCOWed Jun 10 1992 21:5012
    A work around I have found is to "COPY" the domain 2 times, first to a
    dummy one, then back to the original one with the new Directory, after
    having deleted it.
    
    I should have been using a procedure to "extract rules" and then to
    "redefine rules" too.
    
    For the map file, a replacement by the old one using the editor
    "include" function restored the whole picture.
    
    This is cumbersome, very long in elapsed time, but still "acceptable".

    Hopefully this kind of problem will be addressed in V1.3, which is
    intended to quickly make the product more usable.

3153.4Comment on rule ...KETJE::PACCOThu Jun 11 1992 17:488
    Fantastic,  The rules were not deleted with the domain, so I could
    reuse these immediately.
    
    N.B. The back side of this story: 
    	Is it possible to detecht dangling rules, not connected to any real
    domain ?
