IBM LAN NETVIEW SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS WORKSHOP
September 24, 1993
ANNOUNCING
IBM DEVELOPERS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
LAN NETVIEW SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS WORKSHOP
Do you agree that management of distributed heterogeneous systems is
the challenge of the 90's? Do you see an opportunity in the develop-
ment of a systems management solution? Then take a look at IBM LAN
NetView as a network management platform and the LAN NetView Software
Developers workshop as a method to jump-start development of your
management application!
The IBM LAN NetView platform implements major portions of the Open
Software Foundation / Distributed Management Environment (OSF/DME)
and of IBM's SystemView. The LAN NetView framework also supports
industry standards such as the Common Management Information
Protocol (CMIP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
In the 5-day workshop, students become familiar with the components
of the framework by developing basic managing applications using:
- an open application programming interface (API) based on
X/Open's Management Protocol (XMP), which uses the same
technology as the OSF Consolidated Management Application
Programming Interface (CM-API) and SystemView's Common
Management Interface (CMI)
- an object-oriented API based on IBM's System Object Model
(SOM) technology
The workshop is a combination of classroom lectures and hands-on lab
work. Students will spend a significant portion of the week writing
basic management applications in the OS/2 2.1 32-bit environment.
Objectives: To explore issues affecting design and implementation
of managing applications that can be integrated into
the LAN NetView distributed management environment and
to become familiar with the underlying standards-based
protocols and programming interfaces which define
management of heterogeneous networks.
Audience: OS/2 application programmers who want to learn the
X/Open Management Protocol (XMP) and OSI-Abstract-Data
Manipulation API (XOM), to assist them in creating
managing applications now or to assist them in under-
standing the framework for future designs.
Benefits: The workshop will provide a broad base of understanding
of the development of managing applications in the LAN
NetView environment. It will include the integration
of the managing application with the topology display of
the View graphical user interface through the use of its
object-oriented APIs based on the System Object Model.
Prerequisites: Experienced C language programmers who have written
or intend to write managing applications or who have
application programming experience. Familiarity
with object-oriented programming concepts and a
basic understanding of networking and communications
protocols (TCP/IP) is also helpful.
Topics Include:
- understanding the LAN NetView framework and family of products
- reading a managed-object catalog
- translating XOM specifications into appropriate code structures
- using XMP to communicate management requests/responses
- examining the naming tree and scoping
- creating/deleting event sieves and processing event reports
- using OIDL to define a managing application as a SOM class
- integrating managing applications with the graphical user
interface
