My aim is to provide a plugin which can add discover the xerox printers and
change the status of these printers according to the type of problems on the
printers. So after that we will plan for certification by tivoli.
Till today we developed a plug-in and we can able to show and manage our
printers on netview.
So it is my aim. Can you help me out now?
thanks a lot,
regards
sanjeev

Sharma -
I do NetView; I do not do TEC. And setting up NetView is trivial in
comparison to setting up TEC.
But I am very confused by your remarks.
TEC is a very expensive product ($50K?) and is not usually sold
"standalone" but as part of a larger deal in which Tivoli and Tivoli agents
are to be deployed throughout the enterprise. Because this involves many
more thousands of dollars and many hours of planning and work by an IT
staff, the deal usually involves training classes and possibly help from
Tivoli professionals to bring the client up to speed. If you do not plan
to install Tivoli throughout your enterprise, then I fail to see why you
would install TEC.
Usually the only reason someone forwards events from NetView to TEC is
because they already have TEC as a focal point for their other Tivoli
monitoring and wish to consolidate that.
It is true that NetView ships with many CDs (5). But none of them contain
TEC. Are you sure you even have the code?
Perhaps you should explain just what your ultimate Tivoli aims are. Are
you just testing the NT product or is their some larger goal you have in
mind? If your truly have a larger goal, my advice is to contact your
Tivoli marketing rep and tell him or her that you need to attend some
product education classes.

Sanjeev -
You already have a TEC server installed somewhere, correct? If not, that
is a major undertaking. And you need a relational database to store the
TEC events in. And that requires Tivoli's RIM as well.
If you have a TEC server, then setting up a TEC adapter should not be too
traumatic, since the process is similar to what you use setting up the
adapters which ship with TEC. In fact, we usually point folks to TEC
event adapters guide when they have questions about how the NetView event
adapter works on NT. Is someone in your shop familiar with TEC and its
adapters?
But your NT box does not require the Framework if you use the unsecured or
non-TME adapter and it does not need to be a TEC console. And it probably
isn't big enough to be the TEC server. It is not advisable to NetView and
the TEC server on the same box. However, if you want to put a TEC console
on your NT box, then it must also have the Framework installed. The TEC
consoles and server communicate via the Framework.
Let me know if you follow all this, because it sounds as if the Tivoli
environment is wholly new to you.

Hi
You will use the tecad_nv6k adapter to do this. The Netview documentation
gives step by step instructions on how to do this. You will have to modify
the tecad_nv6k.conf, .oid and .cds files to get events forwarded.
Be aware that if you are using Netview 5.1 for NT that there is a known
problem with the trapd daemon and its ability to pass all events to TEC.
It will only pass generic SNMP events and events created using the 'event'
command. all others will not get forwarded. Tivoli is working on a patch
for this.
