2 Installing ASAP Topic Page Installing Monitoring Components 2-2 Installing the SSG 2-2 Installing ASAP on the Workstation 2-3 The ASAP GUI and Agent components running on your Windows workstation communicate with NonStop servers. ASAP uses the SeeView Server Gateway (SSG) to communicate with your NonStop OS node. Figure 2-1.
Installing ASAP Installing Monitoring Components Installing Monitoring Components For a detailed description of how to install ASAP host components on local and remote NonStop servers, see the ASAP Server Manual and the ASAP Extension Manual. To install ASAP Server on the host: 1. Upload the ASAP Server files from the ASAP Server CD. 2. TACL 1 > LOGON network-group.userid 3. TACL 2 > VOLUME $ASAP-ISV-Volume.ZASAP 4. TACL 3 > OBEY INSTALL 5.
Installing ASAP Installing ASAP on the Workstation 2. TACL 2 > VOLUME $SSG-ISV-Volume.ZNOWSSG 3. TACL 3 > OBEY INSTALL 4. Follow the Local Node Install directions in the online help. 5. When SSG installation is complete, start the SSG by using the SSGCOM command interpreter START command. For example: TACL 1 > SSGCOM + START Installing ASAP on the Workstation How you install ASAP on your Windows workstation depends on whether you are installing from a CD or from a NonStop server.
Installing ASAP Installing ASAP From a NonStop Server 4. Follow the directions in Setup.
3 Starting the ASAP Client Before running the ASAP Client, start the ASAP Server subsystem on your NonStop OS host systems by using the ASAP Server command interpreter START MONITOR and START COLLECT commands. For detailed information about installing and starting ASAP on the host, see the ASAP Server Manual.
Starting the ASAP Client Starting and Configuring the CSG Either method is acceptable, but to fully understand the process you might want to manually start and configure the CSG the first time. Starting and Configuring the CSG Once the CSG is installed successfully, launch and configure it. The first time you click the Connect button, you need to configure the CSG for your workstation. For detailed information about how to set up and use the CSG, see the Csguser.
Starting the ASAP Client Configuring ASAP Entities 5. Select the Session property sheet to specify host connection options.

6 Entity Definition Language (EDL) ASAP provides an Entity Definition Language (EDL) that you can use to define abstract entities and their associated properties. To define entities, use ENTITY, ATTRIBUTE, DATA, and INCLUDE statements. The EDL lets you define system entities, customer application domains, and third party entities outside of the ASAP environment. Entities defined using the EDL are those entities for which ASAP provides monitoring services.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) EDL Features and Terminology EDL Features and Terminology An EDL file is a text file with an EDL file extension. EDL files contain one or more EDL statements. EDL files provide a portable container for ASAP Client properties and data representing the client environment. When an ASAP Client is configured, users and developers can decide to share the EDL with other users or workstations. To share files, copy and mail the EDL file to another user or workstation.

Entity Definition Language (EDL) Ci - EDL Entity Property Example This example defines EDL properties of the CPU entity. These properties determine how ASAP retrieves CPU entity information. ENTITY CPU CI COMMAND ENABLED HELP ASAP "CPU\*,RAW,TAB" YES "Central Processor Unit"; Entities have different characteristics. For example, the CI property is the Command Interpreter used to retrieve information for that entity.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) DataItems - EDL Entity Property The Command entity property defines one or more commands that are sent to the ASAP Server command interpreter. These commands are used to retrieve statistics for a given entity. A Command must include the "RAW, TAB" formatting options. In most cases, the ASAP Client requires the data to be formatted in RAW, TAB format. For example, RAW does not zero suppress numeric values, and the TAB option formats output in tab delimited columns.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) Detail - EDL Entity Property number is a value from 0 through 11. base defines the data item base type. Base type Description C constant I integer S time units stored as seconds M time units stored as milliseconds U time units stored as microseconds T 8-byte ASCII string For more information, see the ASAP Extension Manual.

For the CPU entity, the Node Key is the NodeName data attribute.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) MaxObjectives - EDL Entity Property For example for the CPU entity, the Row Key consists of the Date Time data attributes. These attributes contain values that, when concatenated together, uniquely define each row instance of this entity. Applies to: Client Default: KeyForRow "" -- null Example KeyForRow "Date Time" –---- Indicates Date and Time data attribute contents are concatenated together to define each data Row's key.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) Reserved - EDL Entity Property If a Rate entity is not specified for a given entity, the global ASAP server SET RATE value is used to determine whether the sample time for an entity is too late or too early. This property is used for early or late detection, but does not affect the client if the time property for an entity is not graphed.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) SGPSuffix - EDL Entity Property The SGPManaged entity property indicates whether the Statistics Gathering Process is to be managed by the ASAP subsystem. A managed SGP is one that can be started, get status, and shutdown via the ASAP STARTUP, STATUS, and SHUTDOWN commands.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) EDL - ATTRIBUTE Statement recommends you always provide or update the version number when creating or updating an Entity definition. When a Version number is associated with both the Client and Server Entity definitions, the ASAP Client validates that the two versions match on every query. If they do not match, the Client issues a warning. For ASAP System entities, this convention is used for Version numbers: N.

These characteristics let ASAP provide specific availability monitoring services for user-defined attributes.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) Align - EDL Attribute Property The Status attribute has both the GRID and GRAPH properties set to YES. Setting GRAPH to YES implies the status of the CPU entity will be analyzed. In the example, the Status attribute is paired with an attribute called OpState. When an attribute has a state associated with it, as does the Status attribute, the STATEPAIR YES and STATERULE UseStateGraphState properties are set.
Entity Definition Language (EDL) Graph - EDL Attribute Property String Any other Format option known to the ASAP Command Interpreter, such as hh:mm:ss. If format string is not a simple AlphaNumeric token, then it must be enclosed in quotes. Applies to: Server and Client This property determines how the ASAP Server formats the attribute value. Although the ASAP Client interprets the data, the Client does not modify the way the Server displays the data. The FORMAT should match the TYPEDATA of the attribute.
