| 4460.1 | directions in MM Programming Guide | KAJUN::NELSON | | Thu Jan 28 1993 08:45 | 16 |
| Chapters 3 (VMS) and 4 (ULTRIX) of the Management Module Programmer's
Guide tell you how to set up a development environment and how to have a
private dictionary.
You want to follow the directions with the exception of the source
dictionary. Instead of copying the small develper's dictionary from
MCC_EXAMPLES, copy the production dictionary from MCC_COMMON.
Set up your MCC_SYSTEM environment and use the MIB compiler to update
the private copy of your dictionary. Once that is done, you can replace
the production dictionary and parse tables with the ones you have
created. Then when each new instance of MCC starts up, it will get the
new dictionary. Once all instances of MCC are using the new dictionary,
you can purge the files. Please remember that the background processes
for Historian and Exporter and Alarms use the parse tables and
dictionary so these must be restarted as well.

| 4460.2 | you can purge right away on VMS | FARMS::LYONS | Ahh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality. | Thu Jan 28 1993 10:52 | 7 |
| If you are running on VMS, you can purge the files "right away".
The system will get everything right. The only time you would have
a problem on VMS doing that is with Installed files, like page and swap files,
and system images (installed programs).
On ultrix, you would end up replacing the files. I believe that you would need
to stop everything, move the new files in place, and restart everthing.

| 4460.3 | Let's tell the users. | MOLAR::CHRISB::BRIENEN | Network Management Applications! | Thu Jan 28 1993 11:52 | 13 |
| If this procedure is viewed as something users (particularly SNMP based
users) might appreciate, why not let them know about it ?
Where would a good place be to describe the steps involved?
Release Notes? (the old standby)
SNMP AM Use book? (that's where Dictionary Browser appears)
Installation book?
Some other document?

| 4460.4 | Good Idea @ .-1 | ANOSWS::COMFORT | Cold iron shackle, ball & chain | Thu Jan 28 1993 13:29 | 8 |

My view would be to place this information in its own "manual",
something like "managing and maintaining the DECmcc software suite".
The manual could include dictionary management, parse table operations,
map backdrop how tos, running alarms in batch to prevent multiple
notifications, and any other common setup/management/operational items.

| 4460.5 | CTM files not documented | GOSTE::CALLANDER | | Fri Jan 29 1993 10:24 | 9 |
| please note Dave that if you use the programming stuff to figure
this out, the documentation has not been updated yet to explain
the new CTM file that is created by DAP. When you get your new
dictionary started don't forget to copy this file back. The CTM
file contains class information for the iconic map to make the look
into process much quicker.

| 4460.6 | .CTM files are documented in MM Prog Guide | KAJUN::NELSON | | Fri Jan 29 1993 12:52 | 6 |
| Actually, the V1.3 MM Programmers Guide does give an explanation of and
directions for copying the .CTM file when making a private dictionary.
See Chapter 3 (VMS) or Chapter 4 (ULTRIX) for more information.
