    Is this a known problem of SCRIPT AM ?
    
    Thank you for your replies.

  Renato,

  Yes these are know problems, more or less.  The entity model which
  we used for the Script AM doesn't follow all of the guidelines.  We
  put the Script as a global entity so that it worked easily on the
  Iconic Map.  The Script AM is *not* a global entity ... I would like
  to see Relationship in the Map.

  The Script AM really has two interfaces:

    o One for managing script 'instances'; create, delete, show, set.

    o One for executing scripts.

  We bundled both interfaces together for simplicity and are now getting
  bitten by this decision.  This is something that needs work.  I hope that
  at the same time we correct the entity model so that things make more
  sense based on the dual interfaces, that we also implement Tight
  Integration (also known as High-Integration).

  Relationship:  With Relationships you could select and Entity, press the
  MB3 button and see the word 'scripts' on the pop-up menu.  Selecting
  'scripts' would display all the scripts which operate on the entity you
  have selected.  I want to see Relationships applied to the Alarms User
  Interface too.

    Keith,
    
    Thank you for your reply.
    
    Will be there any patch (v1.3 MUP ?) available to obtain a complete
    usage of FCL interface applied on SCRIPT global entity ?
    
    About the "relationship" occurrance on Map, will this new
    functionaly implemented in next version (V1.4...) ?

  No 8(  There will be no changes to the Script AM in the v1.3 MUP
  (least that I know about).

  I'd sure be happy if it were - but v1.4 is a limited release.  As
  such, something like Relationships is not on the list.  You can
  send your 'vote' for Relationships to Dan (MOLAR::) Carr ... Dan
  is the supervisor over the Visualization Services (The Iconic Map)

  /keith

I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record, but...

V1.4 is NOT a Polycenter framework release.  It is a network management
release, and as such, will contain very few framework enhancements
(only those required directly by the developers in the Network Managment
Applications group).

As for the Script AM, as far as I know, there is currently nobody assigned
to maintain that module.  If you have requirements, please make sure that
product management is aware of them (e.g. NOTED::EMF_REQ).
