3187.0. "Problem to add child domains to map with v1.1" by BACHUS::FOLENS () Tue Jun 16 1992 09:10
I have the following problem with DECmcc BMS v1.1 running on a mV3100 with
VMS v5.5.
The DNS-server resides on another system.
When I start the Iconic map with: MANAGE/ENTERPRISE/INTERFACE=DECWINDOW
the message 'file invalid' appears just before the map is displayed.
I can open a domain, create a new domain and add entity's to the map. But
when I try to add a domain child to the current domain (click on the domain
icon in the toolbox window), I get a access violation on my terminal window
from where I started mcc and the small clock is displayed on my toolbox window
untill I quit the mcc session.
The access violation is alwyas the same, i.e.:
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000000,
PC=00297d26, PSL=03C00004
From the command language interface I have no problem at all.
All the necessary patches for v1.1 are installed (alarms, domain,kernel,...).
I have already reinstalled the whole kit, but nothing changes. Any ideas?

| 3187.1 | check icon files | BARREL::LEMMON | | Tue Jun 16 1992 12:25 | 12 |
| It looks like one of your icon files has been corrupted.
Check your logical mcc_icons and make sure it points
to mcc_system.
Bring the toolbox up and see if any icons have a "?" in it. If
so, type out the file mcc_icons:mcc_<class>_icon.dat where class
is the class of the icon with a question mark in it, try renaming
it and see if you get the accvio.
The bottom line here is one of the MCC_*_ICON.DAT files is bad.

| 3187.2 | It was a bad icon file... | BACHUS::FOLENS | | Tue Jun 16 1992 14:32 | 7 |
| Indeed, there was a new icon created with the paint utility ,but it was
saved as an ddif file and not as an X11 file. This caused all the
problems.
Thank you for the quick answer. It was a great help to me and to the
customer.

| 3187.3 | One last step... | DFLAT::PLOUFFE | Jerry | Wed Jun 17 1992 12:59 | 10 |
| Jim:
Maybe you already intend to do this, but I'll mention it anyways so it
doesn't get lost in the DECmcc shuffle...
Wouldn't it make sense to change the "file invalid" message to something more
specific (like "Icon file xxxxxxxxx.xxx invalid") so that the user will know
what file needs to be replace/fixed?
