| 78.1 | DECmcc SMS/EMS Question? | DELNI::L_FELICE | | Mon Mar 19 1990 17:11 | 12 |
| I'm not sure that I understand the question, Rene. Are you
asking about the DECmcc Management Station products (SMS and
EMS)?
If so, each point product, such as ETHERnim will be installed
as if it were a "follow-on" version. You will be given the
option to purge the old version of ETHERnim, for example.
If this is the information that you request, the Installation
Guide does give you a better idea of exactly what happens.

| A dumb question... What do the "S" and "E" in the SMS and EMS
Management Stations stand for?

| 78.3 | Give me an "S"... | CHRISB::BRIENEN | Christopher J. Brienen | Wed Apr 11 1990 18:22 | 7 |
| S = Site
E = Enterprise
M = Management
S = System (or Software?)

| 78.6 | ems/sms and dir/bms | GOSTE::CALLANDER | | Wed Jan 30 1991 13:57 | 34 |

One of the most common points of confusion that I have found is
in the name "DECmcc" itself. DECmcc refers to a family of products,
not a single product.
There are currently a few DECmcc's out there, available as products
(versus field test versions). These are the:
EMS - Enterprise Management System
SMS - Site Management System
DIR - EMA Directory
BMS - EMA Basic Management System
The EMS and SMS encompass the functionality of the old point products
that they replaced. Earlier notes in the conference explain these
in more detail. The DIR and BMS kits (V1.0 available; V1.1 in External
Field Test) are the EMA, Enterprise Management Architecture, compliant
management products. The DIR only contains phase4 and phase5
management, while the BMS kit adds on performance analyzer, bridge,
station, notification, and alarms to name the major differences.
As to an introduction to these I don't believe there is anything
comparing the EMS/SMS and the DIR/BMS offerings, except potentially
in the Sales Update, but for either these there is information
available. The EMA compliant products have an introduction manual
that should help clarify things for you. There is a documentation
announcment with pointers to the manuals earlier in this conference
(I believe the keyword to search on is documentation).
I doubt this answers all of your questions, so please feel free
to add new questions as they come to mind.

| 78.8 | Conversion Tools | CHRISB::BRIENEN | DECmcc Bridge|Station Management. | Thu Jan 31 1991 14:39 | 11 |
| RE: 78.7 Database Conversion Tools.
There are currently utilities (in the V1.0/V1.1 BMS kits) for:
NCP -> DECmcc Node4
RBMS -> DECmcc Bridge
ENIM -> DECmcc Bridge|Station
Does this answer your question?

| 78.9 | some more clarification. | BONNET::MALAISE | All you need is laugh! | Sun Feb 03 1991 14:03 | 19 |
| Just to make sure that this is clear for everybody :
DECmcc EMS V2.0 incorporate DECmcc SMS V2.0 that
incorporate DECmcc BMS V1.0 , that incorporate
DECmcc Director V1.0 .This is available today .
DECmcc EMS V2.1 will incorporate DECmcc V2.1 that will
incorporate DECmcc BMS V1.1 that will incorporate
DECmcc Director V1.1 .Those versions are right now in EFT.
So every customer with DECmcc SMS or EMS , have included
the EMA compliant DECmcc BMS product .
As mentionned earlier the July's 90 US and European Sales Update
describe those packages.
regards .

| 78.10 | Thanks but I am still confused | RUTILE::AUNGIER | | Tue Feb 05 1991 23:33 | 14 |
| I am still confused and I have read the replies many times. I
understand that there is a basic platform and as I understand it, it is
the BMS kit. What does the basic kit give me, this is not really clear.
If I want to replace my current point products like TSM, LTM,
LTMREPORTS,, ELMS etc what kit(s) do I need.
I will get there someday but when. The confusion is basically the
naming convention. For example if the basic kit was calles BMS and the
add ons were called DECMCCTSM, DECMCCLTM, DECMCCELMS, DECMCCTCPIP,
DECMCCMISS, etc then it would be so easy for me.
I have ordered the documentation kit but it will take sometime. I
will try to find the Sales Update the info was in.

| 78.11 | Sales Update on line = VTX | BONNET::MALAISE | All you need is laugh! | Wed Feb 06 1991 10:00 | 17 |
| Rene ,
finding the Slaes update might be easy , as they are under VTX .
Just go on the Corp. Videotext , choose 18 for Sales Resources
and the select US sales update (if you are in Europe go to
the Geneva VTX .).
To answer to your previous question , what has been set up is
a software package that will over time replace TSM/LTM/Ethernim/RBMS
this is DECmcc SMS , and the other package DECmcc EMS will replace
TSM/LTM/Ethernim/RBMS/NMCC-DECnet Monitor .
There is no currently one package to replace each point product
individually .
I hope that the sales updates articles will help you .
Regards .

| Rene,
Please read the Sales Update articles. I think that this will help
to clear up some of the confusion on the overall packaging as it is
today. Currently, the point product functionality has not yet been
"incorporated" into the EMA-based DECmcc products.
Some functionality is available today and more will be phased in.
You might also want to read the DECmcc Management Station Use Guide
for a brief overview of the products included in SMS and EMS.
