I am trying to register a node4 (rather basic isn't it) and keep getting the
message 'entity unknown'. After having struggled through DNS namespace,
clearinghouse, access control, local decnet database , manuals etc. etc. I
haven't been able to figure out what's wrong.
A logfile follows:
Thanks a lot

You do not seem to have all the needed DNS directories.
Have you run the DNS Setup tool? At the very least, the
DNA_BACKTRANSLATION... directories must be added before a phase IV
node can be registered.

Right, we are now three days later, and I am still unable to register one
single node!
I checked, rechecked and double checked everything , and everything seems to
be according to the manual, but I am still getting 'entity unknown'.
I have installed (SBB) MCC V1.1 and DNS 1.1. Than I ran the MCC_DNS_SETUP
file.
All subdirectories
.dna_backtranslation
.dna_backtranslation.%X49
.dna_backtranslation.%X49.%X001
.
.
.mcc
.
.
etc,
are there, as mentioned in the manual.
Then I (re)enrolled the modules with MCC_ENROLL_DIR and MCC_ENROLL_BMS.
When I asked for the known entities through the FORMS interface, it says
NODE *
MCC *
DOMAIN *
BRIDGE *
STATION *
NODE4 *
SAMPLE *
Now when I execute a register command, I still get
$ MANAGE/ENTERPRISE
DECmcc (V1.1.0)
MCC> REGISTER NODE4 dsp_ns:.dna_node.CHIC SYNONYM=CHIC !IDP=49:: ADDRESS=51
.
Node4 DSP_NS:.dna_node.CHIC
AT 10-JUL-1991 04:59:04
The requested operation cannot be completed
MCC Routine Error = %MCC-W-ENTUNKNOWN, unknown entity: !AD
Any help would be highly appreciated

| 1222.3 | DNS entries strangly disappearing | CLARID::HOFSTEE | Take a RISC, buy a VAX | Wed Jul 10 1991 08:37 | 25 |
After having traced down some things, I think I might have located the area where the problem arises, but I haven't the slightest idea what's causing it. These are the symptoms: I opened up two windows on my workstation. Then , in one window I did: @MC dns$control show dir .dna_backtranslation.%x49 known child I saw that not all entries from %x001 till %X003f were there, so I (re)executed in the other window, the mcc_dns_setup option 1. Now while this commadfile was executing, I repeated the command above and saw indeed all entries reappear. So on a certain moment, the commandfile is finished, and a 'show dir .dna_backtranslation.%x49 kn child' gives entries %x0001 till %x003f. Then I exit from DNS, and immediately restart it . When I than repeat the same command, part of the entries have disappeared!!!! When I repeat this scenario (reexecute the commandfile which again recreates the missing entries), the same things happens, but every time other entries (it looks rather arbitrary) have disappeared. So I guess that my previous requests can be reduced to: How do I recreate a complete proper DNS namespace that stays stable and does not change as soon as I exit from DNS?? Thanks | |||||

Are all time setting correct?
VMS Time
MCC_TDF
DNS$TDF
Are there any more clearinghouses in the namespace?
Are both the DNS$BACK and DNS$TA processes up?
