PMDF System Manager's Guide

The subagents serve out selected variables from the MADMAN MIBs.³ Specifically, those variables from the applicationTable, mtaTable, and mtaGroupTable tables as shown in Table 33-4.

Each PMDF channel is identified with with an MTA group. Thus, for each channel, there will be a row in the mtaGroupTable. For example, if there are M channels, the OID mib-2.28.2.1.25.n gives the name of the channel associated with the nth row in the table where n satisfies 1<=n<=M .

Only one application and MTA is recognized by the subagent and consequently there is only one row in the applicationTable and mtaTable tables. The only valid instance identifier for those two tables is thus ".1"; i.e., for either table, the OID for an instance of a variable is formed by taking the OID of the variable and appending ".1" to it. For example, a get operation on mib-2.27.1.1.4.1 would return the version number of PMDF.

Each row of the mtaGroupTable table corresponds to a set of PMDF channel counters maintained by PMDF. A description of each variable is given in Table 33-5. These counters may be directly manipulated on OpenVMS PMDF systems with either the PMDF COUNTERS utility or the PMDF QM/MAINTENANCE utility. Refer to the Section 33.4 for further information on the PMDF channel counters.

Table 33-5 Variable Descriptions

mtaGroupTable variable	PMDF counter	Description
mtaGroupReceivedMessages	RECEIVED_MESSAGES	Count of messages enqueued to the channel.
mtaGroupStoredMessages	STORED_MESSAGES	Count of messages enqueued to the channel but not yet delivered.
mtaGroupTransmittedMessages	DELIVERED_MESSAGES	Count of messages delivered (dequeued) by the channel.
mtaGroupReceivedVolume	RECEIVED_VOLUME	Volume of messages enqueued to the channel as measured in Kbytes = 1024 bytes.
mtaGroupStoredVolume	STORED_VOLUME	Volume of messages enqueued to the channel but not yet delivered as measured in Kbytes.
mtaGroupTransmittedVolume	DELIVERED_VOLUME	Volume of messages which have been delivered (dequeued) by the channel as measured in Kbytes.
mtaGroupReceivedRecipients	RECEIVED_RECIPIENTS	Volume of messages enqueued to the channel as measured by the total number of envelope recipient addresses.
mtaGroupStoredRecipients	STORED_RECIPIENTS	Volume of messages enqueued to the channel but not yet delivered as measured by the total number of envelope recipient addresses.
mtaGroupTransmittedRecipients	DELIVERED_RECIPIENTS	Volume of messages which have been delivered (dequeued) by the channel as measured by the total number of envelope recipient addresses.
mtaGroupName		Name of the channel.

The values in the mtaTable correspond to the column sums of the mtaGroupTable; e.g., mtaReceivedMessages is the sum over all rows of the mtaGroupTable column mtaGroupReceivedMessages.
