4380.0. "Graph PM" by CCIIS1::ROGGEBAND (_ �hili��e _) Wed Jan 13 1993 06:20

Hello all,

I have a few question regarding the use of the graph facility in the 
Iconic Map:

1.  We have found that for some SNMP subentities, the graph option remains
    shaded even though the class has some Counter32 attributes. Is there
    a restriction on the numeric datatypes supported by the graph? We 
    encoutered the problem with the Synoptics subentity in the SNMP AM.


2.  Are there any plans to allow a user to set the scale of the graph 
    himself rather than calculate it automatically? This would be useful,
    for example when the user wishes to visually compare two similar
    or related attributes

3.  We have noticed that when two attributes of the same partition are 
    graphed, two identical mcc_call's are generated. Are there any plans
    to improve this ?

Amicalement,


Philippe.

Philippe,

1. Counter32 attributes are graphable. What version of MCC are you using as
   there was a bug fixed regarding graphable subentities which might fix your
   problem.

2. There are no definite plans to enhance the graph.  If this is considered
   very desirable, it could be added to the wishlist, but no guarantees.

3. Currently each attribute being graphed generates a mcc_call.  A single
   attribute mcc_call is being considered for a subsequent version. If this
   is implemented, we will use it, so there is less network traffic.

Hope this helps.

    Verna,
    
    Thanks for the reply.
    
    1. The customer is using the official FCS DECmcc 1.2
    
    2. Who do I send my wishlist to ? 
    
    3. Just a thought : even if single-attribute MCC_CALL is implemented by
    the PM, it will be a while before AM's support it, so there won't be
    less network traffic.
    
    Woudn't it make more sense both in terms of network AND DECmcc overhead
    (thread & handle creation etc...) to keep on using partition-type
    mcc_calls and to optimize the graph PM? 
    
    Regards,
    
    Philippe.

Wish list items should go to product management, and the
easiest way to do that is via the NOTED::EMF_REQ conference.
