5281.0. "Customer questions" by SUBURB::THOMASH (The Devon Dumpling) Wed Jun 30 1993 06:18

	Hi,

	I don't know if this is the right conference, however, I am trying
	to co-ordinate a response to some questions for a customer who
	is working on a strategy to automate their operations.

	There are 3 questions I have, can you help with a response, or give
	me a pointer on who I should contact?


	1. How does our system management systems database pass information to 
	a 4GL database?
	(they want to have 1 database for all errors)

	2. What modules would we use to manage SNA at the VAX end?

	3. Are there any problems working with the new version of netview (2.3)

	Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

	Heather

    Hi Heather
    
    Some Partial answers:
    
    1. To pass errors to an external 4gl database you would write
    scripts/command procedures which run when alarms and events are raised
    to create an entry in a database. These are generally written as part
    of the implementation phase of a management environment and need sizing
    but do not take long to write (man days, rather than weeks/months)
    
    2. To link to SNA you need an SNA Gateway, , LU 6.2 Software from
    Digital and the POLYCENTER SNA Manager software QL-MQXA*-AA. See the
    POLYCENTER (Octopus) Handbook page 3-20. There is am SPD 43.22.
    
    3. I don't know if it works with Netview 2.3. You could try
    Dave Poett in SBP, he may know.
    
    Rgds,
    
    Dave McCallum.
