3870.0. "Applications launch capabilities" by AEOEN1::TUAUX (Sylviane) Wed Oct 07 1992 12:15

Hello,

I read in DECmcc USE manual that we can invoke external application from the 
Applications menu.
An application can even get the entity and the domain name selected by the user 
via file mcc_launched_time.dat.

My question is : In DECmcc V1.2 or next version V1.3, will the external 
application be able to get multiple subentities (children of the same 
global entity) selected by user in the map window to work on them.

Thanks and regards

Sylviane.

To that extent, what you request works with DECmcc V1.2. I just tested this by adding the putting each of the Interfaces of my workstation on the map, selecting them both, then starting my telnet launched application. The datafile created by the Iconic Map PM looked like this: DOMAIN: doug-test MAPFILE: MCC_MAPS:mcc_1213000400AA000001CB7904F1166D40.mcc_map_doug-test SENTITY: SNMP ( LOCAL_NS:.mcdoug_ip , 16.20.144.122 , mcdoug.lkg.dec.com ) Interface 2 SENTITY: SNMP ( LOCAL_NS:.mcdoug_ip , 16.20.144.122 , mcdoug.lkg.dec.com ) Interface 1 So, as long as they're visible and 'selectable' on the map, you can pass the data into the launched application. Your application has to be able to 'weed out' the data that you want, however. regards, /doug

    The mcc_launch*.dat file only contains information about the *SELECTED*
    entities.  So, if the child entities are displayed on the map and they
    are selected, the the launched application data file will contain the
    class-instance pairs needed to uniquely identify them.  To that extent,
    what you request works with DECmcc V1.2.

    I just tested this by adding the putting each of the Interfaces of my
    workstation on the map, selecting them both, then starting my telnet
    launched application.  The datafile created by the Iconic Map PM looked
    like this:

DOMAIN: doug-test
MAPFILE: MCC_MAPS:mcc_1213000400AA000001CB7904F1166D40.mcc_map_doug-test
SENTITY: SNMP ( LOCAL_NS:.mcdoug_ip , 16.20.144.122 , mcdoug.lkg.dec.com ) Interface 2 
SENTITY: SNMP ( LOCAL_NS:.mcdoug_ip , 16.20.144.122 , mcdoug.lkg.dec.com ) Interface 1 


    So, as long as they're visible and 'selectable' on the map, you can
    pass the data into the launched application.   Your application has to
    be able to 'weed out' the data that you want, however.
