2652.0. "XYPLEX EXPORTER PROBLEMS" by TMBKTU::ANGELILLO () Mon Mar 30 1992 14:08

 I am currently working with DECmcc at a customer site. I have set up the
 exporter FM to collect and store data on Vitalink bridges and mux's. I 
 modified some C programs and report on all data collected as to line
 utilization and error counts. I am having trouble doing the same with the
 xyplex. The snmp module gives nice counter information on the xyplex 
 put I cannot export it. I tried naming a pseudo station defining the
 same address as the xyplex's but it does not export any information. I saw note
 1867 and all replies. Is this problem related to the xyplex MIB.? I am
 interested in any reply. Thanks.

	>> The snmp module gives nice counter information on the xyplex >> put I cannot export it. Are these counter attributes part of a table ? And if so, is the table index a constructed type ? I believe the exporter had some restrictions on exporting attributes whose data type was constructed. I don't know if those restrictions still apply. >> Is this problem related to the xyplex MIB.? If you can do succesful show operations on these counter attributes, then the chances are that the problem is not with xyplex's mib or its agent. Rahul.

	TO FURTHER CLARIFY, I DO NOT EVEN GET A PULL DOWN MENU FOR RECORDING OR EXPORTING FUNCTIONS FOR THE XYPLEX. I AM UNAWARE OF ANY TABLE OR DEFINITIONS BUT I WILL LOOK. IT SEEMS WHEN YOU DEFINE AN SNMP STATION, YOUR CHOICES FOR WHAT YOU CAN DO ARE LIMITED.

	What version of DECmcc are you running? In V1.1 the directives for exporting and recording are not automatically added to each entity. If you are running V1.1, you will need to augment the dictionary by following the procedure outlined in the release notes. Rahul.

	I am running V1.1. I am getting a copy of the release notes to read. A colleague who has access to the notes indicated there is a section about snmp and the historian/exporter. Thanks for the response.

	In order to help others I wanted to add this note: The instructions in the DECmcc release notes for V1.1 worked well. I had tried the instructions in the SNMP access module release notes. These did not work for a the xyplex vendor and each child entity name. In the snmp release notes, it indicates to customize augment command files based on the vendor and chold entity names. I got error messages twice and did not proceed any further. The standard command files that came with MCC worked fine to augment the dictionary and update the parse table. Also as you will see later in a future note, although I can export, I now cannot tell for what device the exported snmp data is related. Cindy
