| >One specific question is: can PCM pass messages/events to PNV?
Yes, but your probably going to have to write some code. Getting events
into PCM is the easy part. It's getting things out of Netview that will
require most of the work. Personally, I don't know of anything that
exists already.

| actually, getting events from netview into PCM isn't that hard, if they
are on the same system. You can have a pseudo terminal doing a 'tail
-f' on the netview event log file. So, when a new event happens, you
can pick it up. Problem is, of course, that the nodename will always be
something like 'NETVIEW'.

| Actually, passing messages from PCM to PNV is no more difficult than
having PCM send mail to somebody IF you have the additional software to
do it. The key piece is the event handling capability which ships with
the POLYCENTER DECnet Manager kit. If you have this, you can use an
action routine I have developed called SEND_TRAP (shamelessly copied
from the SEND_MAIL action routine which ships with PCM). This can
cause event cards to come up in the PNV display, and change the icon to
one of six designer colors (based on the priority level set in PCM).
The PCM kit ships with a registration file which automatically includes
Console Manager in PNV's Tool Palette and Tools pull-down menu. This
includes basically launch of the C3 interface. I have enhanced the
registration file so that you can launch a console connect directly
from PNV.
You are welcome to any and all of my enhancements. They are included
in the POLYCENTER Integrated Demo kit, which can be obtained by
anonymous ftp from nsmweb.tay.dec.com. Look in directory pub/demo_v22
for demofiles.tar. Copy this file over, un-tar it, and look for the
files /usr/demofiles/pcm/send_trap and /usr/demofiles/demo_control
(look especially at the CPUconnect action). Further instructions can
be found in TOOK::POLYCENTER$PUBLIC:[OSFDEMO]SCRIPT2.PS. See step 6 on
page 2-7.

| Very interesting guys!!! If I read this correctly, all of the previous
are shell script based then? What I would like to see is an executable
based action routine ala Mutli-Line Window that uses the PCM and PNV
API's. For the larger enterprise that is managing a large network where
many events are likely, it is much more efficient to have an executable
action routine that uses the socket based IPC mechanism inherint within
the PCM ENS facility. Is anyone working on this?

| Dan,
OSCint ( a tool the basically provides much integration between POLYCENTER
products and is about to become a European Asset) has a module (executable) for
sending events to PNV from PCM (It also integrates PSW).
I suggest you look at it

| Mike, Dan,
The Action Routine (an executable) provided by OSCint uses the Collector API
(mcc_send_event).
Do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information or if you want to
organize some tests/demo of this action routine (or of the whole OSCint) for
your customer.
