Integration in Tivoli NetView

Configuration and Operation

The Poll application enables the symbol type to be assigned more precisely. It 
can determine the symbol type of a device by checking whether a specific MIB 
object is supported by that device.

All Poll application output is sent to the shell in which NetView was started. The 
change in symbol type has the following effect in connection with the Map appli-
cation: the Map application configures the related node as a Fujitsu Siemens 
server by changing the symbol type to 

.

I

Note the effects of the SNMP parameter settings in NetView in this 
context:

–

If you have defined the wrong Community-String for a device, the request of 
the Poll application will be rejected, and the device will not be detected 
correctly.

–

If you have selected a Timeout value that is too low, the requests may be 
aborted before a response can be received. If the Timeout value is too high, 
this will lead to delays when polling devices which do not have SNMP agents 
or for which the SNMP agent is inactive.

–

The reliability of the network connections is determined by the Retry-Count. 
If you have selected too high a Retry-Count, this will lead to delays when 
polling devices which do not have SNMP agents or for which the SNMP 
agent is inactive.

I

Set the 

 environment variable in the 

runtime environment of NetView to TRUE. This prevents changes to the 
symbol types from being reset by NetView as part of the Configuration 
Monitoring, which runs continuously.

V

Do not terminate NetView while the Poll application is running.

In the 

 file you will find the definitions of the tests 

performed by this application. Each entry in this file has the following format (the 
quotes and commas are part of the syntax and must always be specified):

SYSOID="sysObjectID_Value",OBJECT="MIB_ObjectID", 
NEWSYMBOL="New_Symbol_Type"
