4.4.4 List of methods

The method returns the configuration information of each product in JSON format. In the Intelligent Integrated Management Base, call this method only when checking the return value of the adapter command after it is called and finding the value is 0.

• If the configuration information is collected successfully

  In the __configurationGet method, call the args.setResult (configuration information in JSON format) method.

• If the method fails to collect the configuration information

  Call the args.setError (error message) method, instead of the args.setResult method.

In the __configurationGet method, either the args.setResult or args.setError method must be called if the __configurationGet method can process the component.

The __configurationGet method is called within the jddcreatetree command that creates the system management tree of the Intelligent Integrated Management Base.

Each user-created plug-in should refer to the value of args.component to determine if the plug-in can deal with the component.

The following table lists and describes the parameters of the __configurationGet method.

The following describes the list of configuration information returned by the __configurationGet method.

For details on the information the __configurationGet method retrieves from each product, see 7.1.4 Information retrieved from each product.

The following table lists and describes the functions that are affected by the configuration information set by setResult and its impact.

The method collects the tree SID that corresponds to simtData in the input information together with additional information, and returns them in JSON format.

If a user-created plug-in implements the __createTreeNode method, the default tree of JP1/IM can be customized. For details on the default tree, see 7.4.2 Node generation function.

The user-created plug-in generates a tree node object and sets it with setResult if the tree SID of simtData is the target of the tree node to be customized. If simtData objects have identical values in both the object type and name of the target, they will be the same node in the tree. Therefore, configure simtData objects that have identical values in both the object type and name to return the same tree SID.

If you do not customize the parent node of the tree node to be customized, use the treeNodeCreator object to get the tree SID of the parent node portion and use it as a part of the tree SID.

• If the tree SID and additional information can be retrieved successfully

  Call the args.setResult (tree SID in JSON format) method within the __createTreeNode method.

• If the tree SID and additional information cannot be retrieved

  Call the args.setError (error message) method, not the args.setResult method.

If the __createTreeNode method itself can process SimtData, make sure to call either the args.setResult method or artgs.setError method within the __createTreeNode method.

The __createTreeNode method is called in the jddcreatetree command that creates a system management tree for the Intelligent Integrated Management Base.

The following table lists and describes the function that is affected by the IM management node tree information set by setResult and its impact.

This method returns the configuration information SIDs corresponding to all JP1 events issued by each product. Each user-created plug-in must return the configuration information SID to the individual JP1 events issued by the corresponding product. Each user-created plug-in refers to the value, such as args.productName, and determines that the plug-in itself can deal with the event.

• If a configuration information SID has been successfully generated for each one of the issued JP1 events:

  Call the args.setTargetSid (configuration information SID) method in the __eventGet method.

• If an attempt to generate a configuration information SID corresponding to an issued JP1 event fails due to missing data in the JP1 event:

  Without calling the args.setError (error message) method, return from the method and exit the process.

The __eventGet method is called when the Intelligent Integrated Management Base gets the JP1 event.

The following table lists and describes the parameters of the __eventGet method.

The following table lists and describes the function that is affected by the SID information with setTargetSid set for it and its impact.

The method generates a relation between retrieved configurations and returns it in JSON format.

• If the relation between retrieved configurations is generated successfully

  In the __createLink method, call the addResult (relation information between the retrieved configurations in JSON format) method.

• If the configuration information could not be retrieved

  Call the args.setError (error message) method, instead of the addResult method.

Make sure you call either the addResult or args.setError method.

The __createLink method is called within the jddcreatetree command that creates the system management tree of the Intelligent Integrated Management Base.
