3657.1Historian & Export problemsZPOVC::RAYMONDTANTue Sep 01 1992 04:2583
    Sorry for the blank pages on -.0.
    
    
    I am running DECmcc V1.2 on VS4000-60 on VMS5.5
    
    I have a problem in recording in historian and exporting in exporter.
    I have setup the queue and startup the background process as described
    in the manual and have the following message when I perform the above
    tasks. 
    
    MCC> RECORD NODE4 SIN004 PARTITION=COUNTERS, IN DOMAIN=TONGNAM
    
    Node4 SIN004
    AT 1-SEP-1992 11:57:49
    
    Background recording process for this domain is not set up.
    
    
    I have setup the background process before executing the RECORD command
    in DECmcc.
    
    $ SUBMIT/LOG/RESTART/QUEUE=MCC_HISTORIAN/PARAMETER=(TONGNAM) -
    _$ SYS$MANAGER:MCC_HISTORIAN_BACKGROUND.COM
    
    $ SHOW QUE MCC_HISTORIAN
    
    Entry   Jobname       Username          Status
    -----   -------       --------          ------
       74   MCC_HISTORIAN_BACKGROUND   
                          SYSTEM            Executing
    
    
    
    Below are the information the the DECmcc:
    
    MCC> SHOW DOMAIN TONGNAM ALL CHAR
    
    Examination of attributes shows 
                                   Owner ID = "SYSTEM"
                                  Directory = SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]

    Examination of Attributes shows:
                                    Address = 20.4
                                       Name = SIN004

                        Verification Reject = 0
    
    
    
    For EXPORT, I have the similar setup and the error messages;
    
    Setup for Exporter
    
    $ SUBMIT/LOG/RESTART/QUEUE=MCC_EXPORTER -
    _$ /PARAM=(SYS$LOGIN:MCC_EXPORT.RDB) -
    _$ SYS$MANAGER:MCC_EXPORTER_BACKGROUND.COM
    
    
    MCC> EXPORT NODE4 SIN004 TARGET=SYS$LOGIN:MCC_EXPORT.RDB, -
    _MCC> EXPORT PERIOD = 1:00, IN DOMAIN = TONGNAM
    
    Background exporting process is not set up.
    
    
    
    
    Thanks in advance for your help.

	Raymond,

	It seems to me that the background processes are dead by the time
when you specify Record and Export commands. You can check the log files
(sys$login:mcc_historian_background.log and sys$login:mcc_historian_background.log)
 *AFTER* you receive a message "Background process is not set up". 
Usually the background process dies because of insufficient privileges
to write in the MCC_COMMON:MCC_MIR_DIRECTORY.DAT file and/or to
create files in the domain directory (see release notes).
BTW, do you really want to create historical repositories in 
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR] ?
 
If the background process is alive try to start it not in batch but
from different window (@sys$manager:mcc_historian_background <domain_name>).
It will simplify your problem.

One more comment: current time export does not need a domain qualifier.

	SAm
    
3657.3INSTALL command is the causeZPOVC::RAYMONDTANWed Sep 02 1992 04:249
    Hello! Sam,
    
               Thanks for your pointers. I have finally isolated the cause
    and it is due to both the MCC_HISTORIAN_BACKGROUND.COM and the MCC_
    EXPORTER_BACKGROUND.COM that required the INSTALL command to be define.
