Re: [nv-l] FETCH statements in Windows tecad_nv6k.cds

Jane,
I thought you had access to the open
APAR lists, but perhaps I am mistaken.
There is an APAR to fix IPNAME($AGENT_ADDR).
 It's PJ29416.  It was supposed to included in 7.1.4 but did
not make the code cut-off, and had to be re-opened.  It will be in
7.1.4 FixPack1 which is due out in a few weeks.

If you absolutely need a test fix before
then, please contact Support.

Subject	[nv-l] FETCH statements in Windows tecad_nv6k.cds

NV 7.1.4 for Windows on Win2K Server.
I am trying to modify tecad_nv6k.cds to forward my own events to TEC.  
There seems to be no documentation anywhere in either NetView or TEC 
(3.8 or 3.9) that says what variables are available as parameters in the
teacd_nv6k adapter???

I am trying to get a hostname from an IP address to fill the TEC 
hostname slot.  $AGENT_ADDR seems to work to get the address and I
am 
using that successfully to fill the origin slot.  The TEC 3.9 Adapters
Guide shows an example in Appendix C (page 201-202) of using IPNAME as
part of a FETCH statement.  I have tried this but get no value in
my F1 
variable.  Here's the part of my cds file:

CLASS TEC_ITS_MYTRAP
  SELECT
    1: ATTR(=,$ENTERPRISE) , VALUE(PREFIX, "1.3.6.1.4.1.1234"
) ;
    2: $SPECIFIC = 123 ;
    3: ATTR(=,"VB_1") ;
  FETCH
    1: IPNAME($AGENT_ADDR) ;
  MAP
    origin = $AGENT_ADDR ;
    msg = $V3 ;
    hostname = $F1 ;
    severity = MINOR;
    nvhostname = $ADAPTER_IP ; # Required for ALL TEC_ITS events
END

It all works except for  the hostname slot.  Turned on error
logging in 
tecad_nv6k but it doesn't show anything helpful around the FETCH 
statement.  I am guessing that IPNAME is a function that has to be
supported by the TEC adapter (that is maybe supported by the SNMP 
adapter but not tecad_nv6k??????).

Any help gratefully appreciated.
Cheers,
Jane
