Level I Developer’s Toolkit
The SPECTRUM Level I Developer’s Tools are designed to allow OEM developers to
integrate their products into SPECTRUM, and to allow developers at customer sites to
customize SPECTRUM to suit the site’s specific needs.
Product Description
Packaged as optionally-purchasable modules, the following Level I
Developer’s Tools are available:
• SPECTRUM Model Type Editor (MTE) - The primary tool used to
create and modify SPECTRUM model types. With the MTE, developers
can customize existing model types to meet specific needs, or derive
new model types, attributes, and extensions from previously defined
ones. The MTE allows customer control over each model type attribute,
beyond the limited access available with the basic SPECTRUM core
product and allows developers to import proprietary vendor MIBs into
the SPECTRUM knowledge base.
• SPECTRUM Basic Extensions Toolkit - The Basic Extensions
Toolkit has been improved in the following ways: the mmbuild tool can
be used to create or remove SPECTRUM files (EventDisp, Alertmap,
PIBs, GIBs; IIBs, etc.) associated with new model types.The mmship
tool can be used to create index files for distribution of new model
types.
• SPECTRUM Generic Information Block (GIB) Editor - Provides the
means for on-line creation and modification of SPECTRUM information
views within the SpectroGRAPH User Interface. The GIB Editor allows
customers to customize the data and graphs associated with
information views. Links can be established between model or device
information views and each instance with this editor.
• SPECTRUM Extensions Integration (SEI) Toolkit - Intended for
customers or VAR developers who wish to package and sell a
SPECTRUM extension they have developed. This toolkit enables a
developer to produce a complete, ready-to-install SPECTRUM
