• TCSA - 2.x

Resolution

• To retrieve a list of current notifications present in the Smarts SAM environment, Please use the following DMCTL commands:

./dmctl -s <SAM_SERVER> getI ICS_Notification

1. An example of a notification would be:

NOTIFICATION-Card_CARD-fusion/1.1.1_Down

• To retrieve the properties of the above notification, can use the following DMCTL command syntax:

./dmctl -s <SAM_SERVER> get ICS_Notification::<Notification>

• Using the preceding notification example, the DMCTL command would be as follows:

./dmctl -s <SAM_SERVER> get ICS_Notification::NOTIFICATION-Card_CARD-fusion/1.1.1_Down

• This command will output all the SM_OBJ objects for the notification. If you would like just particular objects, use the following DMCTL command syntax:

./dmctl -s <SAM_SERVER> get ICS_Notification::<Notification>::<Object>

• Using the preceding notification example, the DMCTL command would be as follows:

./dmctl -s <SAM_SERVER> get ICS_Notification::NOTIFICATION-Card_CARD-fusion/1.1.1_Down::ElementClassName

Note: The ElementClassName in the above command is the same as SM_OBJ_Name.
