616.0. "conversion?" by CSC32::PITT () Fri Feb 17 1995 05:11

    
    
    
    Can anyone answer this question submitted to me from a customer?
    (thanks in advance!)
    
    In the current version of the PolyCenter Console Manager there are
    several
    basic scans,filters,events, and actions for the internal Console
    Manager but nothing for current systems. IE VAX7000 vax4000 hsc hsj or
    vax3100's.
      Our shop went from VCS on VMS 5.5-2 to PCM 1.5 on OSF/1. There are
    conversions for the events or scans if you are at version 6.0 on VMS
    but there
    are no conversions (that I know about) for VCS to PCM crossing
    platforms.
    Please advise of a sight or information that would help to rebuild the
    basic system scans, filters, and events.

Cathy,
     there is a procedure shipped only with the OpenVMS Vax kit which will
extract data from the VCS database. This is a standalone program which can
be run by the customer on the VCS machine. It produces a "Skeleton" PCM import 
file. This will give the basic data including events in PCM format.

This image CONSOLE$VCS_CONVERT.EXE does not need a PAK to run, so if you give
the customer a copy it will do what he wants.

It is in the CONSOLE015.C saveset.

Cheers Simon....

Cathy,

  To add to what Simon has said, the PCM "import" file is plain ASCII text 
and can be imported into a PCM database on any of the supported PCM 
platforms, this should enable your customer to go from say OpenVMS VAX to 
OSF/1 if they so wish.

Cheers,
Phil

    Cathy,
      In STARS, you will also find a "port" file that contains all of the
    profiles that VCS contained plus some updates. If you can't find it
    then do a dir of OPG::CM$KIT: and you should find a VCS_TO_PCM.PORT
    file.
