3503.0. "TSAM child entities and IMPM" by SUBURB::SMYTHI (Ian Smyth 830-3869) Wed Aug 05 1992 14:03


	Whilst using TSAM and the IMPM to look at a muxserver
network, I thought it would be nice to have the links and station
child entities on the same level as the muxservers. So I fired up the 
tool box and pressed MB2 to Look Into on the terminal server icon. 
However, the only child entity it put into the toolbox was 
"LANGUAGE".

	Why can't I put muxserver lines and stations on the entity 
level of the IMPM? 

PS.
	MCC is V1.2 on VMS 5.4. TSAM is the latest kit.

3503.1Can't be done...at least for this releaseTOOK::FONSECAI heard it through the Grapevine...Mon Aug 10 1992 17:4616
I don't think that can be done.  (It has crossed my mind as something which
would be exactly what I would want to do if I were managing DECmux boxes,
so I can see your frustration.)

I just talked to some of the DECmcc developers who know more about this than
I, and as it turns out there may be a way for TSAM to provide this capability
in a future release.  TSAM would need to allow the create and/or register
directives for all of its child entities, so that so-called 'stretchy'
icons (like language) would be provided for all of the TSAM child entities.

Right now TSAM only supports the create directive for child entities which
needed it.  Based on my new understanding of how DECmcc figures out whether
a sub-entity would ever have its own icon, I can see I need to widen the criteria
for which sub-entites need the create directive.

Dave,

	Thanks for your reply.

	Is there some way we can make sure that this goes on the 
wishlist for the next release of TSAM?

 Hi Dave, 

 The easiest thing to do to "fix" this problem would be to add the
 *REGISTER* directive, to the TSAM MS (actually the Dictionary), for
 all of your child entities.

 You wouldn't even have to add code to your AM, since the Registration FM
 handles the details automatically.

 Should be a quick fix (maybe issue a patch?).
