| You would probably want to send only the events to CM and not all of
the console output from all nodes PCM is managing. PCM already logs
this so having the console log on Unicenter log it would be redeundant.
If you only want to send events, this could be accomplished easily
using a sehll script or executable PCM action routine. If Unicenter
is running on the same node as PCM it's really easy. The shell script
can call the logger utility with the event text as an argument. The
event text will be pased to the script by PCM. If you do this via
an executable, it will be much more efficient. PCM will start a process
and run the exceutable and the executbale will receive the events and
pass them to Unicenter via the logger utility. If there is a system
call that can be used to interface to the logger utility it will avoid
having to run logger in another process.

| One thing that I assumed (well, I sort of said it at the end) was that I want to
send OpenVMS PCM stuff from OpenVMS to CA-UNICENTER on UNIX. I think (adter
reading it several times) .1 is assuming that I'm running both on the same UNIX
system.
The customer is using CA-UNICENTER on UNIX to consolidate multiple systems, some
of which are OpenVMS. Having the same an event which occurs on PCM on OpenVMS
then occur on CA-UNICENTER on UNIX may appear to be redundant, but that's
exactly what we want to happen.
So,what is the simplest way to get events from PCM on an OpenVMS system to
CA-UNICENTER on a UNIX system?

| PJDM,
I re-read the base-note and I admit I missed the VMS->Unix notation
on the last line.
You probably already know that there is no "canned" method within PCM
to do what you want. I do not know if a product such as OSCInt already
has this capability. There's also a chance that CA will do it for you
if they can be convinced that there is a need for this. Personally, I
feel there is a need since the direction is toward Unicenter becoming
"the" enterprise wide management solution. I attended CA-World last
week and I had a chance to sit in on an Openforum with one of the VP's
within CA. One of the attendees - a Digital sales rep - made it clear
that there will be sufficient customer demand for such a thing. Many
of these customers already have Unix and OpenVMS and do not want to
have to use yet a 3rd operating system for their management platform,
i.e, they dont' want Windows NT. The CA-Unicenter for OpenVMS will
be based on Windows NT initially. Digital displayed the GUI at
CA-World so this product is more than vaporware.
