HI
Is anyone using The Circuit Am .
Can someone clarify the EVENT AENDpointchange.
Are we talking about
1) A circuit change (SVa-0 state off)
or
2)The attached physical ciruit BNA-0 has
changed.
I put my money on NUMBER TWO as this is the less useful.
+++++++++++++++
So how do I git this GOOD LOOKING ICON to change colour?
Of course use the EVENT nmoperationstatchange ,designed for the job.
Silly old me.
But when using GETEVENT Circuit LINK event nmfoperationalstateChange
is alway gets a NOTIFICATION EVENT even when nothing has happen.
(Know problem SEE RELEASE notes)
Question
---------
Timescale for a fix for this problem ?
=== Unable to use GETEVENT CIRCUIT LINK ANY EVENTS=====
Not the end of the world yet
Lets try poll the circuit link nmfoperationalstate .If not equal
enabled then change circuit icon red and if equals enabled the go green
1st go failed .
The attribute nmfoperationalstate was unknown.
Guess what the attribute is case sensitive
NMFoperationalState
(Show circuit link state nmfoperationalstate = Enabled)
Second time lucky
Not the best way ,but it works

Gary, not many users are aware of the Circuit AM since it hasn't
been featured yet. It is new to V1.2. It is primarily focused
at the NMF definition of circuit and/or facility. To get a clear
definition of what its intended use is you need to get a copy
of NMF 006 Library of Managed Objects and read the couple of
pages on Circuit. Also note that with one exception all the
events are the attribute change notifications as defined by NMF.
Guess which one is the exception. You got it! I knew I could depend
on you. It is NMFoperationalstate. It is called out in the release
notes as unsupported in V1.2.
As to when it will be supported. I can't give you a date. The
Circuit AM officially belongs to Dick Andersen's Network Management
Applications group in MKO as soon as V1.2 is finalized. Any definitive
answer must come from Dick or his product managemers. I can tell you
that it does not have a high priority. They are almost 100% focused
on SNMP.
I am responding as the current manager so that you get a clear
answer rather than silence as an answer. Having been the manager of
record that got Circuit AM started, I would like to give a more
positive response. We were working with very constrained resources
to get as much done as we did. An event for a change of Operational
state is a key feature to the completion but there just were not
enough resources to complete that for V1.2
As to your first question, Event change of A Endpoint means that
somehow the value of the A ENDpoint attribute has been changed.
This usually happens when someone is reconfiguring the circuit.

Thanks
Wally.
I can live with limitation of the Circuit AM.
I am interest in how Circuit is going to handle NMfoperational event.
Will we still have to have events of the phyiscal circuit ends (SVA0-0
circuit down) or will Circuit AM deal with this.
Is there any one I can mail to feed some input to.
As I have a real customer view point
Thanks again for your reply
Gary
