I have a customer that is currently running VCS 1.4 . I am in the process of updating one of the VCS systems to PCM 1.5 . The customer has purchased an enterprise management system called MAXM - I have not been formally introduced to MAXM yet, but the time is near... The customer wishes to have the filtered VCS events sent to the MAXM platform - at which point, these filtered events will be filtered again on an enterprise-wide basis and acted upon accordingly. The customer states that they can receive rs232 ascii data and figure out how to parse it - can this be provided from PCM? If not, PCM will be eliminated from the picture and all event filtering will be done at the MAXM platform - literally, Digital POLYCENTER products will no longer support this mission critical environment... I have not dug into this question at all yet - is there some obvious, easily setup and managed way to provide this functionalilty? The VCS/PCM platforms are a mix of 4000-60's and 4000-90's. Any pointers and assistance will be greatly appreciated ... /jane BTW, anybody have any experience integrating MAXM w/VCS or PCM or Watchdog?

Hi, I have never seen MAXM, so cant give you a definitive answer as to the best method of integration, however, your note implies that MAXM can receive ascii data, if so, create a simple PCM action routine to provide PCM events out to a serial line for MAXM, the API for creating actions is in the documentation (You could do this with a DCL procedure, but I would advise against it, there can be performance problems using DCL procedures). Cheers, Phil | |||||
| 613.2 | BROADCAST action routine is the answer | TOPTEN::LEONARD | Paid to play | Tue Mar 21 1995 21:15 | 5 |
An update... using the BROADCAST action routine provided exactly what
was needed. MAXM has four priorities that it displays, so I simply
matched the four highest severities from pcm (Critical, Major, Minor,
Warning) to MAXM's four priorities and provide practically seamless
integration!
