3562.0. "DECmcc LAN Autotopology Applications" by CADSYS::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Thu Aug 13 1992 17:54

Hi!

I've trolled through this conference, including 3.*, but can't find out where
to copy the DECmcc LAN Autotopology Applications (Spanning Tree Map and
FDDI Ring Map) kits from.  We don't have them as part of our current DECmcc
system, so I'm ASSuming they are separate items.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.  In the interim, we blundered onto the command files in
MCC_COMMON:, notably 

SYS$COMMON:[MCC]MCC_STM_FM_MGMT_IF.COM
SYS$COMMON:[MCC]MCC_FDDI_FM_MGMT_IF.COM

Still stumbling (as we didn't find this documented anywhere obvious), we hit
upon manage/toolkit/dictionary.

I've been trying various ways to feed these command procedures to this
utility, without success.  What is the FDA approved way?

Thanks

    It's called "@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL MCCELMFM012". :-)

    Just updating the dictionary won't get you very far...

Sigh.  Getting closer.  The installation, done from a fully-privileged non-
SYSTEM account, got the following error:

%DAP-S-USE_DICT_RDONLY, Using dictionary file: sys$common:[mcc]mcc_fdictionary.d
at;5, with read-only access

You must make sure that there are no other DECmcc processes running
when you attempt to update the dictionary.  Exit from all maps,
FCL processes, and stop any batch processes that are running DECmcc jobs.

3562.6Solved. Operator error.CADSYS::LEMONSAnd we thank you for your support.Thu Aug 13 1992 19:565
Sigh.  Right you are.  We thought we'd installed the FM as well as the AM, but
installing the FM kit, and stopping all other DECmcc activity, did the trick.

Thanks, and sorry!
