README for demo_module_2
***********************************************************************

This example performs data retrieval and data setting for a simple
table that provides file monitoring.


Introduction
------------

The demo_module_2.c code was generated by using  "mib2c -c mib2c.iterate.conf" 
against the me1FileTable group in the SDK-DEMO1-MIB. Some functions have been 
added to the generated code to implement a link list to provide the test data.

mib2c created templates called me1FileTable.c and me1FileTable.h. 
These were renamed demo_module_2.c and demo_module_2.h for this demo.  
Within me1FileTable.c, mib2c generated init_me1FileTable, and this was renamed
to init_demo_module_2.

Note that even though the SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt MIB file contains the
specification of table and scalar, running mib2c with mib2c.iterate.conf
generates template code only for the simple table in the MIB.



How to Build the demo_module_2 Code Example
===========================================

The demo_module_2 code example includes the following files, by default 
located in the directory /usr/demo/sma_snmp/demo_module_2.


Files:

Makefile - makefile to build demo_module_2.so shared library file
demo_module_2.c  - module source code
demo_module_2.h - module header file
SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt - MIB file 


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_2  /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 generate code templates from the sample MIB:


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

   % cd /home/username/demo/demo_module_2
   

2. Copy the SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt file to the mibs directory you created for the 
   demos, if you have not already done so.
   For example:
  
   % cp SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt /home/username/demo/mibs

      
3. Set your MIBS and MIBDIRS environment variables to
   include the appropriate paths.  
   For example, in the csh: 
    
   % setenv MIBDIRS .:/home/username/demo/mibs:/etc/sma/snmp/mibs
   % setenv MIBS +SDK-DEMO1-MIB
   
 
4. Run mib2c on the me1ContactInfoTable group in the SDK-DEMO1-MIB.
   For example:
   
   % mib2c -c mib2c.iterate.conf me1FileTable

   The mib2c utility generates the following template files:
   me1FileTable.c 
   me1FileTable.h
   

5. Compare the template files with the demo_module_2.c and the
   demo_module_2.h files.    
   


To build the example:

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

   % cd /home/username/demo/demo_module_2
   

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_2.so /home/username/demo/lib
   

4. Copy the SDK-DEMO1-MIB.tx file to the mibs directory you created 
   for the demos, if you have not already done so.
   For example:
     
   % cp SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt /home/username/demo/mibs



Setting Up Agent to Run demo_module_2
=====================================
    
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_2 /home/username/demo/lib/demo_module_2.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_2
    
    The optional -Ddemo_module_2 argument sends debugging statements from 
    demo_module_2 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 Module
==================

1. Set your MIBS and MIBDIRS environment variables to
   include the appropriate paths.  
   For example, in the csh: 
    
   % setenv MIBDIRS .:/home/username/demo/mibs:/etc/sma/snmp/mibs
   % setenv MIBS +SDK-DEMO1-MIB
   
   
2. As a non-root user, issue snmptable commands to retrieve table data 
   from the module.
   For example:
   
   % snmptable -v1 -c public localhost SDK-DEMO1-MIB::me1FileTable 
   
   me1FileIndex me1FileName me1FileSize me1FilePerm
              1  /etc/hosts          78         444
              2 /etc/passwd         595         644
              3   /etc/cron       56616         555
              4 /etc/system        1883         644
