5118.0. "How to write an AM ?" by MSAM03::MIKEWARREN (Technology Consulting, Malaysia) Wed May 26 1993 09:43

    Is there a manual or good notes around on the EASYnet somewhere
    on "How to write an Access Module" (or similar) ?
    
    A customer is close to making a decision on a network mngt platform,
    and they are deciding between HP's Openview and DECmcc. The main
    criteria of decision, we believe, will lie in how easy it will be
    to write home grown Access Modules.
    
    The customer has seen the HP Openview's development module, and 
    would now like to see some sample code / documentation from our
    side. 
    
    Actually if possible i'd like to try get the Edu material for one
    of the DECmcc classes we have related to Access Module development.
    
    Thanks, Mike

	Offhand, there are: 1. There is a course on AM development that is run on a sporatic basis Ed Services controls the course, some MCC prople actually teach it. 2. DECmcc Developers Toolkit Reference AA-PD5MC-TE 3. DECmcc Management Module Programming AA-PD5NC-TE 4. DECmcc Systems Reference Manual, Volumes 1 and 2 AA-PE55C-TE
5118.2	Abt 10pm at night here	MSAM03::MIKEWARREN	Technology Consulting, Malaysia	`Wed May 26 1993 11:04`	9
	Part numbers, unfortunately, are not much good for me right now. I need the stuff in less than 12 hours, so I'm really looking for a EASYnet pointer. Preferably something easy to read, not too detailed, maybe like a Net U presentation on DECmcc AM development or something, to give them a feel. I don't necessarily want to throw a whole manual at them. Rgds, Mike
5118.3	TNPUBS::Public$Disk:[public.nms.decmcc_v1_3]	KAJUN::NELSON		`Thu May 27 1993 10:01`	19
	As far as I know, there are no presentations on 'how to write an MCC management module' You can find the documentation on line at TNPUBS::Public$Disk:[public.nms.decmcc_v1_3] Look around in there and find the MM Programming Guide. You probably want to read Chapters 1 and 2 as an overview that doesn't go into too much detail. You probably also want to contact Gail (DELNI::) Ferreira, the product manager for the framwork or Bill (SKIBUM::) Gassman in Marketing. I believe that they would have presentations on the `10 ways to integrate with the PNM Framework" (MCC's new name). Just in case you did not know, your customer has more options than to write a management module. Some of these options are very simlar to HP's launch mechanism. ...kjn
