164.0. "Scan profile for RISC/ULTRIX ?" by SMAC10::BARKER_E (Ummm...) Mon Jan 17 1994 12:13

    Hi,
    
    	Is there a generic ULTRIX event scan profile available anywhere ?
    The Kit we used (from CD) only had VAX based VMS or System V profiles
    and none for a RISC ULTRIX system ? Did we have a bad kit, does anyone
    have one I could pinch ? I checked Note 6 and the nsr profile in 6.1 
    is useful but a general ULTRIX one would be even better !
    
    	Thanks for any help,
    
    	Euan

Unfortunatelly, there is no other scan profile available than the System V one !

164.2Will there be included scan profiles?CERN::BOTHNERTor Bothner (CERN account consultant)Thu Feb 10 1994 12:178
Will there be included any scan profiles at all with V1.1?

In V1.0, there were profiles for VAXen, but now there is nothing, so this is a
regression. Of course, I would like, as in .0 to have at least a sceleton
profile for Ultrix and OSF. Are there plans? 

thanks,

tor,

  We have had this discussion many times, basically what
  we are doing is this...

  V1.1 will ship only the Console Manager events and scan.

  The upgrade from V1.0 or VCS V1.4 will keep any existing
  event and scan definitions.

  We are lobbying SQM in order to get the SQA TRG (Technical
  Requirements Guide) modified so that any product which
  outputs messages to the console device will have to supply
  Console Manager Event and Scan definitions.

  We realise that in the short term this will cause a bit of
  a headache, but we felt that this was preferable to us
  supplying out of date and incorrect event definitions which
  we carried over from V1.0 and VCS. At the same time this
  approach will allow us (DIGITAL) to ship updated and new
  definitions with those products which produce the events, so
  in theory the customer should always get the latest and
  greatest.

Cheers,
Phil

    This is not good.
    
    A customer can not be expected to build their own operating system scan
    profiles. There is no way they can ever know all the messages the
    operating system can throw out.
    
    This seriously reduces the value of the product, all CM will give to my
    customer now is the centralisation of consoles and the chance if they
    ever get the time to build there own scan profiles.
    
    (I understand there may be a budget/time problem, I just registering my
    vote.)

Euan,

  In HYLNDR::TRG, note 208, is our request for scans to be provided
  by layered product groups, you may want to check it out and add
  your own supporting comments.

Cheers,
Phil
