Hi Ralf,

a stupid thing was done for V1.3: the dictionary was like "manually built".
Because we relied 100% on the automated construction of the dictionary, the statistics
partition "fell out". It is missing in TeMIP as well, I checked it out to be sure.

The patch mentioned below needs to be applied on the dictionary of T1.4 or V1.4.
Basically it deletes the entity { Node, HDLC, Link } and recreates WITH the
statistics attributes and attribute partition.

    $ dir ASCROS::MCC$PUBLIC:[DECMCC_V140_PATCHES.VMS.QAR16]

    Directory ASCROS::MCC$PUBLIC:[DECMCC_V140_PATCHES.VMS.QAR16]

    MCCPAT010.A;1                      945/945     14-FEB-1995 15:26:27.00

What you can do before going to the customer is update the dictionary files
MCC_FDICTIONARY.* in the following savesets using the patch:

    MDDBMS014.D
    MCCEMS024.K

This way when you install at teh customer's site, things will be right 
"from the first time". Next week I will try to make the savesets available in 
the same directory.

Here the contents of the file MCCPAT010.RELEASE_NOTES


  DECmcc PATCH 1 Release Notes
  ============================

  The dictionaries included in PNM 200 V1.4 and PNM 400 V2.4 were missing
  the STATISTCS attribute partitions for the following entities:

        { Node, HDLC, Link }
        { Node, HDLC, Link, Logical Station }

  A consequence of this is that when a particular link is selected in the
  Iconic Map, and when one pulls down the [Operations] -> [Show] menu,
  there is no Statistics option shown.

  Another consequence of this is that the FCL PM will respond with a syntax
  error on a command like

        MCC> show node XXXXX HDLC link yyyyy all statistics
        MCC> show node XXXXX HDLC link yyyyy Logical Station zzzz all statistics


  These problems are fixed by applying this patch.


  To apply the patch, purge the mcc_common directory of superfluous files
  and make sure that enough disk space is available on the disk to store a
  backup copy of the files

        MCC_COMMON:MCC_FDICTIONARY.*

  Then just perform the following:

        $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL MCCPAT010 <kit-location>


  This will take between 1.5 and 2 hours to complete.

    Hi   In BMS v.1.4 will I be able to show CHDLC  line statistics and
    graph real-time CHDLC line utilization. 
    Also, will i be able to generate a Phase V CHDLC hourly graph report in
    1.4?
    
    I have several customers that have DECnis routers configured to talk to 
    DEC Brouters using CHDLC and they need to be able to do the above.
    
    thanks
    brian

    
    Thanks for your reply Dirk, but ...
    
    ASCROS is not reachable since day's !
    
    
    Could you please provide me with another pointer ?
    
    
    Ralf.
    

Sorry folks, I was confused again.

ASCROS is in a hidden area, but member of the same cluster as TOUDON.
Since we always use ASCROS to leave TOUDON's links open for you...

	TOUDON = 51.660

Dirk

Brian,

The perfomance FM does not contain the statistics for the CHDLC entity.
That is a functionality enhancement, and the product manager decided that
V1.4 is only a maintenance release.

The upcoming customer forum should give you the opportunity to ask for that functionality.


Dirk

Hi everybody,


The patch mentioned in previous replies also exists for Ultrix:

Directory TOUDON""::MCC$PUBLIC:[DECMCC_V140_PATCHES.ULTRIX.QAR16]

MCCPAT010.RELEASE_NOTES;1                      5/6       15-MAR-1995 17:32:08.00
MCCPAT010.TAR;1                              760/762     16-MAR-1995 11:36:44.00

Total of 2 files, 765/768 blocks.


Here the modified part of the release notes:

  ...

  To apply the patch on Ultrix, make sure that enough disk space is
  available on the disk and make a backup copy of the following files
  stored in the directory referenced by the environment variable
  MCC_SYS_LOCATION

        mcc_fdictionary.dat
        mcc_fdictionary.dat.dir
        mcc_fdictionary.bpt
        mcc_fdictionary.ctm
        mcc_fdictionary.log


  Then execute the following from the directory where you restored the
  2 files from the patch archive:

        patch_dna5am_hdlc_statistics.com_ultrix
        mcc_dna5am_hdlc.com

  The execute the following

        % mcc_dap
        DAP> @ patch_dna5am_hdlc_statistics.com_ultrix
        DAP> show class NODE subclass HDLC subclass LINK
        DAP> show attribute_partition STATISTICS
        DAP> show definition ATTRIBUTE_LIST
        DAP> previous
        DAP> show subclass LOGICALSTATION
        DAP> show attribute_partition STATISTICS
        DAP> show definition ATTRIBUTE_LIST
        DAP> exit
                     

    
    
    
    I need to get my dictionary updated as well.
    
    
    is toudon::MCC$PUBLIC:[DECMCC_V140_PATCHES.VMS.QAR16]
    
    
    available, or have the contents been moved to another area ?

Hi all,

While reorganizing out disks the patch was moved to

toudon::MCC$PUBLIC:[DECMCC_V140_PATCHES.DNA5.FIX02]

This directory contains :
MCCPAT010.A
MCCPAT010.TAR
RELEASE_NOTES_DNA5_FIX02.TXT

Sorry for the inconvenience 

Benoit

Hi,

I was looking for the HDLC statistics patch as well. It wasn't in 
toudon::MCC$PUBLIC:[DECMCC_V140_PATCHES.DNA5.FIX02] as indicated in .8 .
		    ^^^^^^

Found the files in TOUDON::MCC$PUBLIC:[MCC_V140_PATCHES.TOOLKIT.DNA5.FIX02]
				       
				       ^^^
