DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Looking for assistance on how to generate a command to the AS400 in reponse to a fetchmsg probe alarm.

Dustin provided me with the following suggestions, just checking for all possible optoions.

Jerome,

For this, I think your only [easy] option would be through issuing calls directly to the Probes on the iSeries host via Lua, specifically I think you could piggyback off of the fetchmsg send_reply call back to pass commands.

The other option would be to script something using telnet/batch/something similar to remotely connect to the iSeries and execute a command via the NAS.

Thanks

Does anyone have some code they could share?  I would be very interested in doing something like this as well.

Thank you.

I'm thinking...

Create an NFS share from Linux Server to AS400..

Create logmon profile on Linux box to run a command in the IFS folder on the AS400 Server.

I'm yet to test this but will report back with results

Great! Let us know how it goes

The funny thing is that this function already excist in the history-probe.

You have the "command on interval" option. And I've tried it to do a STRSBS/ENDSBS and it works perfectly. 

This option really needs to go in to Logmon (cmd), which isn't an option for logmon on IBM i.

Created an idea for this here:

Issue commands to AS400 via UIM

I've just tested this but it doesn't appear to work. There are 3 fields on the "Send_reply" option in Probe callback, these are:

key

answer

queue

When I try to send a basic command such as : call qcmd it fails with "invalid arguement".
