I have a DECmcc customer who also uses VMS/SNA to interface to an IBM mainframe. VMS/SNA runs on a different system from DECmcc. At present in order to manage the VMS/SNA links they have to log onto the VMS/SNA system and use SNANCP. Are there any plans to provide MCC with the ability to manage SNA gateways and/or VMS/SNA hosts ? Using the Polycenter SNA manager tool we can manage the IBM side of these links from DECmcc but we are unable to manage the DEC end of the link ! Many Thanks for any help/information. Regards Hugh Rooney

the NMA (Network Management Applications) group is looking into
the gateway management question. At this time I do not know when
it will be resolved though. If you would like to add your two
cents into the requirements process please send mail to Deb Curtis
or the NMA product management group.

| 4291.2 | Worked around it using VCS... | HERON::TIMMERMANS | Tue Jan 05 1993 09:59 | 22 | |
Hugh, We used VCS to get around the sethost to the SNAncp system for SNAGWY management. The system that runs VCS has also the SNAGWY managemnt software installed, the "GWY consoles" are connected to virtual terminals (FTAs) on the VCS system. We made some GWY scan profiles to monitor the DECnet/SNA events that are logged onto the virtual consoles, the filtered events are then sent to the MCC platform using the datacollector. The Launched application capability permits us to display the VCS virtual console on the system running Mcc. The console displays the SNANCP> prompt and waits for commands to be excuted on the specific GWY. As you see some setup has to be done, but it is better than nothing. We showed this to some customers overhere and there is a real interest in having a good integration of the SNAgwy management on the Mcc Platform. Regards, Luc | |||||
