355.0. "Netware "console" events" by GRANMA::NNICOLL (Virginia Gentleman... Cavalierly!) Thu Aug 18 1994 21:38

    Here's an off the wall idea.. can we use PCM's pseudo-terminal
    interface to gather "events"' from a Netware server? Are there other
    ways to do this?

    Depends. What is the management interface into a Netware server ? If it
    requires some kind of terminal connection, like an LPS then sure, no
    problem, and you should be able to easily do it with the standard
    product.

355.2PC Interface unfortunately!GRANMA::NNICOLLVirginia Gentleman... Cavalierly!Fri Aug 19 1994 17:247
    Its not quite that simple, the interface into a Netware server is at
    the PC running Netware, so its the video interface at the PC... nothing
    fancy on the screen, mostly text output(some graphics)... it doesn't
    sound do-able, does it?

I am not sure that you are going to be able to achieve what
you want directly!

You are going to have to write yourself a bit of client server
code which monitors the Netware system and sends events to a
server on the PCM host which can then post them as external
events to ENS using the supplied API. This approach I know is
being done already for a customer who wants his Windows-NT
boxes to send events to PCM.

This all assumes that you can get hold of your Netware events
from a program (NLM?) running on the Netware server, this I
cant answer, my Netware experience consists of reading the
installation guide once about 2 years ago.

Cheers,
Phil
