README for demo_module_9
***********************************************************************

This code example demonstrates how to implement objects for long running
data collection. These objects are implemented in a way that allows the
agent to respond to other requests while external data collection occurs. 
When data collection is complete, the agent can reply to the request. 

This example uses the following features of SMA:

- Setting the delegated member of the requests structure to 1 to indicate to 
  the agent that this request should be delayed.  The agent queues this request
  to be handled later and then is available to handle other requests.  The
  agent is not blocked by this request.

- Registering an SNMP alarm to update the results at a later time.




How to Build the demo_module_9 Code Example
===========================================

The demo_module_9 code example includes the following files, by default located
in the directory /usr/demo/sma_snmp/demo_module_9.

Files:

demo_module_9.c  - module source code
demo_module_9.h - module header file
Makefile - makefile to build the demo_module_9.so shared library file
SDK-DEMO9-MIB.txt - MIB file
get_demo_module_9 - Script that executes snmpget on the delayed OID
set_demo_module_9 - Script that executes snmpset on the delayed OID
walk_demo_module_9 - Script that executes snmpwalk on the SYSTEM table


To set up your build environment for the demo:

1. Copy the demo code to a directory for which you have write permission.
   For example:
   % cp -R /usr/demo/sma_snmp/demo_module_9  /home/username/demo


2. Create a lib directory that you can use to store shared object libraries 
   that you generate from demo code examples, if you have not already done so. 
   For example:
   % mkdir /home/username/demo/lib

    
3. Create a mibs directory that you can use to store MIB files for the demo 
   code examples, if you have not already done so. 
   For example:
   % mkdir /home/username/demo/mibs


4. Set the CC environment variable to the location of the C compiler to be 
   used. For example, if you are using Sun ONE Studio:
   % setenv CC /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc


5. Set your PATH environment variable to include the appropriate paths, so that
   needed binaries can be found during the compilation process. 
   For example, in the csh: 
    
   % setenv PATH .:/usr/bin:$PATH
   
      
To build the example:

1. Change to the directory where you copied the demo module files. 
   For example:

   % cd /home/username/demo/demo_module_9
   

2. Use the make command to generate object files.
  
   If you are running the 64-bit SPARC Solaris kernel, type:
   % /usr/ccs/bin/make
   
   If you are running the 32-bit SPARC Solaris kernel, type:
   % /usr/ccs/bin/make ARCH=32
   
   If you are running the Solaris x86 kernel, type:
   % /usr/ccs/bin/make ARCH=32
   

3. Copy the module shared library object to the lib directory you created. 
   For example:

   % cp demo_module_9.so /home/username/demo/lib

   
4. Copy SDK-DEMO9-MIB.txt to the mibs directory you created for the demos.
   For example:
  
   % cp SDK-DEMO9-MIB.txt /home/username/demo/mibs
   
       


Setting Up Agent to Run the demo_module_9 Module
=================================================

1. As root, edit the agent's configuration file /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf,
   and insert a dlmod statement for the module. This statement enables the 
   agent to load the module.
   For example:
   
   dlmod demo_module_9 /home/username/demo/lib/demo_module_9.so
    
    
2. As root, start the SMA snmp agent. If the agent is already running, stop 
   and restart it in debug mode.
   For example:
   
   # /etc/init.d/init.sma stop
   # /usr/sbin/snmpd -Ddemo_module_9
    
   The optional -Ddemo_module_9 argument sends debugging statements from 
   demo_module_9 to the /var/log/snmpd.log file. You can also use the -L 
   and -f options to send debugging statements to the screen instead.



   
Testing the demo_module_9 Module
================================

1. Run the get_demo_module_9 script to get the default value of 
   the my_delayed_oid object, which is 1 second.
   For example:

   % get_demo_module_9
   SDK-DEMO9-MIB::delayedInstanceOid.0 = INTEGER: 1


2. Run the set_demo_module_9 script to set the value of the
   my_delayed_oid object to 10 seconds. 
   For example:
   
   % set_demo_module_9
   SDK-DEMO9-MIB::delayedInstanceOid.0 = INTEGER: 10
   
   The set_demo_module_9 script specifies a time-out value of three
   seconds (-t 3). The module uses the my_delayed_oid value as the time 
   interval at which an SNMP alarm is sent to the module. 
   
   SET requests through this object take longer, since the delay is applied 
   to each internal transaction phase, which could result in delays of up to 
   4 times the value of this object. 
   
   For example, initially, the default my_delayed_oid value is 1 second. 
   Therefore, the script uses a 3 second time-out value on the snmpset 
   command line.

3  Open two terminal windows so you can run two scripts at the same time, as
   follows:

   In the first window, run the get_demo_module_9 script:
   % get_demo_module_9
   
   
   In the second window, run the walk_demo_module_9 script:
   % walk_demo_module_9
 
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: SunOS myhost 5.10 s10_35 sun4u
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: NET-SNMP-TC::solaris
   DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (497128) 1:22:51.28
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: "Administrator's Name"
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: myhost
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: My Town
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysORLastChange.0 = Timeticks: (8) 0:00:00.08
   SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.1 = OID: IF-MIB::ifMIB


   This example demonstrates that the agent is not blocked and does respond to
   the snmpwalk request, while the snmpget request executed in the first window
   is still pending.
