Software Product Description ________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: DECmcc Developer's Toolkit, Version 1.1 SPD 32.49.01 DESCRIPTION The DECmcc Developer's Toolkit is a VMS layered product used for the development of application-specific DECmcc access mod- ules. The development tools run on any VAX computer under the VMS Operating System. The DECmcc Developer's Toolkit is for experienced network managers and system software developers. The DECmcc Director or Basic Management System software is re- quired for enrolling, testing and operating management modules developed using the Toolkit. The DECmcc system software sim- plifies the design and implementation of application-specific modules by offering a runtime kernel executive, various service programs, and source code for a Sample Access Module. The Toolkit includes documentation and several software develop- ment utilities and testing tools. Documentation The DECmcc Developer's Toolkit documentation provides informa- tion to assist in the design and development of access modules. It includes the following documents: o Enterprise Management Architecture General Description o EMA Entity Modeling o The DECmcc System Reference Manual o DECmcc Management Module Programming o The DECmcc Developer's Toolkit Reference DIGITAL March 1991 AE-PC88B-TE DECmcc Developer's Toolkit, Version 1.1 SPD 32.49.01 The DECmcc Module Reference, available on-line only, provides specifications of the services offered and required by each DECmcc management module. Development Utilities/Tools DECmcc Design Framework The DECmcc Design framework is a set of generic software compo- nents, including a modular and extensible starter access mod- ule. The starter access module may be used to build a starter application-specific access module. The Design framework uses proven development techniques that minimize coding errors, expe- dite development, and reduce coding ambiguities that can arise during the course of access module design. Management Specification Language (MSL) The MSL Translator Utility translates application-specific management specification information into input suitable for the DECmcc dictionary administrator program (DAP). The following utilities are included in the DECmcc Director and Basic Management System software and are necessary for enrolling application-specific access modules and related files into the DECmcc system. o Dictionary Administrator Program (DAP) Utility o Parse Table Builder (PTB) Utility o Test Bed Driver (TBD) Utility o Help File Builder (HFB) Utility These utilities allow on-site enrollment of access modules. The DECmcc Developer's Toolkit Reference (AA-PD5MA-TE) describes each utility in detail.
