2283.0. "MCC ILV -> ASN1?" by SYSMGT::DUTKO (Nestor, VMS Engineering) Thu Feb 06 1992 10:25

    Is anyone aware of routines that accept an ILV and convert it to its
    ASN1 representation?

I am Ren�e Bosser and I am working in the PNMP team, Telecom Engineering, 
Valbonne.
I am very concerned by the translation problems MCC/ILV <-> CMIP/ASN1.

Please can you specify :
- why do you want to translate ILV <-> ASN1 : to use a protocol (CMIP ?), 
  other ?
- which object(s) do you want to translate ?
  Are these objects registrered in the MIT (Management Information Tree)? 
  Are they identified by OBJECT IDENTIFIER ?
- in which module (AM, FM, other ..) do you want to perform the translation ?
- do you need to translate in ASN1 only ILV ? not AES ? 
  All the MCC_CALL arguments ? 
  MCC requests, responses, exceptions, events ?

Thanks
Ren�e

    Since I posted my original request, my need to do that has disappeared
    but let me explain what I was lokking for nonetheless.
    
; - why do you want to translate ILV <-> ASN1 : to use a protocol (CMIP ?), 
;  other ?
    
    As I understand it, ILVs can consist of simple primitive constructs
    (such as integers, or octets) and they can contain more complete
    constructions (records, sequences, what-not). What I was looking for
    was something that would accept as input an existing ILV, and convert
    it to avl (which is the DECwest Common Agent mechanism for passing data
    around). AVLs use ASN1 encoding to represent the data. 
    
    The application writer that is my consumer uses DECwest style of AVLs.
    Unfortunatelly the data I get is ILV encoded so I need to perform the
    translation.
    
; - which object(s) do you want to translate ?
;   Are these objects registrered in the MIT (Management Information Tree)? 
;   Are they identified by OBJECT IDENTIFIER ?
    
    The data I'd be translating would be strictly object arguments and
    event reports. I couldn't see accomplishing this if the objects weren;t
    registered (we'd be missing some fundamental information, right?)
    
; - in which module (AM, FM, other ..) do you want to perform the translation ?
    
    As mentioned earlier, my consumer is an application developer who is
    used to the DECwest AVL arguments. It neither AM, FM nor PM.
    
; - do you need to translate in ASN1 only ILV ? not AES ? 
    
    Only the ILV is of importance to me. I already have some code that
    translates a specific set of AES constructs to Object Identifiers
    (DECwest term).
