2555.0. "Data Collector Functionality" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Thu Mar 12 1992 13:08

    Where can I find some documentation on the Data Collector?
    
    From what I have read in places, it will allow an application to send
    and event/alarm message to the DECmcc Director, which in turn can link
    it up with Notification Servers to change colors, etc.etc.
    
    Is this true?
    
    My main question here is can the application communicate to the data
    collector via either a DECnet link or TCP/IP/UDP link?  This would
    allow a remote application to send application oriented or system
    oriented info (from either DECnet or TCP/IP systems) back to the DECmcc
    Director for manipulation by the different FMs?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mark

This would Unfortunately, only DECnet is supported in this release, due to resource constraints during development. IP will likely be supported in the next release.
2555.2	Files not there ?	WELCLU::MCCALLUM		`Wed Apr 29 1992 04:49`	9
	I can't access the info pointed to in note 3.134 Has PPINC changed ? Thanks, Dave.
2555.3	In the kit or in note 2369.*	TOOK::MCPHERSON	Save a tree: kill an ISO working group.	`Wed Apr 29 1992 14:39`	14
	The earlier Data Collector API files on PPINC are no longer relevant. The API is now included in the BMS kit as of T1.2.7. If you are a) looking for or b) willing to donate examples of DCL or Shell scripts or source code applications that use the Data Collector API, then please collect $200 and move directly to note 2369 in this conference. regards, ./doug
2555.4	Are the UYLTRIX files on VMS ?	WELCLU::MCCALLUM		`Fri May 01 1992 05:55`	17
	I have had a look and found the files on VMS in sys$examples. I have not found the ULTRIX files though (on my VMS system). Have we only put the VMS on VMS and ULTRIX on ULTRIX? I want to use ULTRIX to send events to VMS MCC. I need the ULTRIX modules. Can these be packaged on the VMS system too ? How portable are they ? Can you put them in PPINC so I don't have to copy the ULTRIX kit over and take it apart. Thanks, Dave.
2555.5	Maybe it should be a contest?	TOOK::MCPHERSON	Life is hard. Play short.	`Fri May 01 1992 10:32`	33
	Hi Dave. Are you talking about the sample program (mcc_evc_send.exe) or the sample scripts (DCL or csh) that actually use the sample program? It's a little embarassing, but I'm not sure exactly what we're including on the ULTRIX kit :-O (at least WRT to the Data COllector examples). As to putting files on PPINC, I'll see about that. I haven't written any shell scripts to use the sample mcc_evc_send.exe from ULTRIX because I'm basically a VMS weenie and I can barely grep my way out of /dev/null when it comes to ULTRIX ;^) . Also, I suspect that the developers here that would know what/how to do this have quite a few hotter irons in the fire right now... So that's why you haven't been exactly deluged with any ULTRIX examples scripts... The reason I started note #2369 (the one with the example procedures) was to "inspire" people out there to hack up their OWN scripts and programs (VMS and ULTRIX) and post them as additional samples. I guess I should offer a prize for the most innovative ULTRIX or VMS examples that get posted (maybe a free "Kimballs' Special" from down the street? ) Maybe that'd stir things up for you? So I'll restate: If anyone out there has done (or plans to do) any shell scripts to use the mcc_evc_send program OR you have written actual programs that use the API directly, please post them (or pointers to them) as replies to note #2369. Regards, /doug
2555.6	File needed	WELLIN::MCCALLUM		`Wed May 06 1992 05:56`	16
	I want to write some U*IX scripts, but I have only installed VMS DECmcc at the moment. The C source (mcc_evc_send.c) says I need mcc_evc_api_dna_unix.c which is not in the VMS DECmcc 1.2.7 kit. The other files mcc_evc_send.c and mcc_evc_api.c are, and I presume these are portable accros platforms. If there is a csh file to compile it, then that would save typeing too. Thanks Dave.
