5757.0. "CHIPCOM/ONdemand missing from applications pull down." by PLUNDR::LOWEG (WANTED!! A modern day Robin Hood.) Tue Nov 23 1993 11:10

    
    
    Can anybody tell me why a customer is reporting that he has lost the
    capability of launching the Chipcom On demand stuff from the
    application pull down menu.
    
    It is an Ultrix V4.3 system with PNM200 (BMS V1.3).
    
    Using the field test s/w it was there but after upgrading to V2.0
    released Chipcom On demand it no longer appears in the pull down.
    
    The new software installed ok.
    
    I have no knowledge in with the Chipcom stuff and any pointers would be
    greatly appreciated.

5757.1.def file there?BIKINI::KRAUSEEuropean NewProductEngineer for MCCWed Nov 24 1993 09:145
There has to be an appropriate mcc_appl_*.def file in mcc_system. Maybe 
the installation wiped it out or replaced it with a buggy one, or 
replaced it with a template that has to edited first...

5757.2Well done Robert.....PLUNDR::LOWEGWANTED!! A modern day Robin Hood.Thu Nov 25 1993 06:4518
    
    
    Thanks Robert, exactly right.
    
    The customer found a mcc_appl_chipcom.def and a mcc_appl_chipcom.old in
    /usr/mcc/mcc_system. Both looked identical, then the customer swapped
    the files so the .old was the .def and it works ok.
    The customer is going to send me both files so I can check for any
    differences.
    However, this Chipcom OnDemand V2.0 is an advanced copy. Its official
    release is January 1994, so I was told by Chipcom UK. At this moment
    of time no UK Chipcom specialist have been trained (again, so I was
    told by Chipcom UK) so I can't get any advice from them.
    I am looking into gaining a different contact in Chipcom (ie the person
    who forwarded the advanced copy to digital's Dublin office), for
    support.

	The problem was due to comment fields on the released software
        containing 2 many characters. I vi'd the definition file
	/usr/mccc/mcc_system/mcc_appl_chipcom.def and changed it from

	To the following. Basically I have taken out the ***** lines at
	the top and bottom of the comment field and reduced the length
	to no longer than 72 characters. With this definition file I have
	proved the ability to launch Chipcom OnDemand from mcc ultrix.
	To save time using cut and paste I have missed out a lot of the
	comment field, but it can be included if you stick to 72 char max.
