2986.0. "Connection to Timeview" by KETJE::REMANS () Wed May 13 1992 05:45

A customer uses Timeview to manage the Timeplex X.25 switches. I'm wondering if 
we can connect timeview with DECmcc so that alarms generated by timeview about 
the X.25 network can be feed into DECmcc.
The only information I have for the moment is that it runs on a SUN system.

2986.1My kingdom for Data Collector over UDP!TOOK::MCPHERSONLife is hard. Play short.Wed May 13 1992 09:3117
If all they want is to get the Timeview Alarms ('events' in DECmccSpeak), then
you may be able to do something fairly simply with the Data Collector AM.
The biggest obstacle for you in doing that is that the DC AM only supports
*DECnet* its event transport (as of V1.2) and I doubt that the Sun workstation
has DECnet on it.

If you can figure out how to get DECnet running on the Sun then you're
just about home-free!  (Just a smidgen of programming or maybe some shell
scripting).

If DECnet is a no-go, then you'll have to do something a little less efficient
like write a program (or script) that snags the TimeView events and passes them
to a system that *can* support DECnet, then have *it* send the Data COllector
events to DECmcc (sort of a proxy arrangement).

Good luck,

2986.2How get the events out of timeviewKETJE::REMANSThu May 14 1992 04:526
I was thinking about the the DC AM, but I have no idea in which way we can 
obtain the events generated by timeview. Do you know if timeview is open in 
the sense that the events can be picked up through an api ?

2986.3Will the customer pay?TOOK::MATTHEWSFri May 15 1992 17:0510
    If the customer is willing to pay for a project to allow
    DECmcc Data Collector AM to collect events over a TCP, IP, or UDP
    connection, Please let me know. We would very much like the
    opportunity to work with the field organization to do this.
    If the customer services organization would contribute the
    SUN resident event dispatcher, the frameworks organization would
    supply the Data Collector Event Listener function. Our portion
    of the job would be 6-8 man weeks of effort.
