I.  Plus Module Installation

A Plus Module for Tivoli has been provided and should be installed from 
the Tivoli desktop.  From the Tivoli desktop menu select "Install" and 
then select "Install Product..."  Use "Select Media..." to point to the 
directory which contains the folder for this README.  Select MarkVisionPlus 
Module for Tivoli, Version 3.0a and then select Install & Close to install the 
Plus Module as shown below:

Note: The Plus Module Support (Link binaries) – 3.2.d must be installed before 
attempting to install the MarkVisionPlus Module for Tivoli.

The Plus Module contains a script which must be run so that the Tivoli Event 
Server can recognize and process printer events which have been defined by 
MarkVision Professional.  From the Tivoli desktop, double-click on the TivoliPlus 
icon.  From the TivoliPlus window double-click on the MarkVision Plus for Tivoli 
icon, and then run the Setup_TEC_Event_Server_for_Markvision task.


II.  MarkVision Professional Event Adapter Installation

MarkVision Professional’s event integration solution for Tivoli is available as 
part of the MarkVision Professional installation--specifically as part of MarkVision 
Messenger.  The MarkVision Professional installation can be reached by 
selecting Printer Software from the CD installation screen.  

Note: You must choose Custom install.
 
As part of the Custom Setup installation, an option is included to install the 
MarkVision Professional components needed to configure MarkVision Professional’s 
custom event adapter for Tivoli.  

The MarkVision Professional tab will reveal the optional MarkVision 
Professional components that can be installed.  Because the custom event 
adapter for Tivoli is integrated directly into MarkVision Messenger, at a 
minimum, the following components must be selected for 
installation:

·       MarkVision Server
·       MarkVision Messenger
·       MarkVision Application or MarkVision Web Client
  
Once the installation has completed, the event adapter must be created and 
configured from within MarkVision Messenger.


III.  MarkVision Professional Event Adapter Configuration
 
Actions that monitor Device Status Alerts in MarkVision Messenger can now
be configured to use a new command type called: 

"Send Device Status Alerts to a Tivoli Event Server".  

This new command type acts as a custom event adapter for Tivoli --
it converts MarkVision Professional Printer alerts into Tivoli Events, then 
forwards those events on to a Tivoli Event Server.

The parameters to be configured for this new command type include:

   - the location of the Tivoli Event Server
   - the port on the Tivoli Event Server to which events should be sent
   - the file in which events are to buffered in the case that the Tivoli
     event server cannot be contacted. 


IV.  MarkVision Professional Printer Alerts

The MarkVision Professional Event Adapter converts printer generated NPAP 
alerts into events which are recognizable by Tivoli.  A new event class, 
MVP_Printer_Alert, is derived from Tivoli's base event class such 
that printer specific information can be captured and recorded in a 
Tivoli event.  The following defines the new MVP_Printer_Alert event 
class:

TEC_CLASS:
    MVP_Printer_Alert ISA EVENT
        DEFINES 
        {
            source:             default = "MVP_PRINTERS";
            severity:           default = WARNING;
            Printer_Address:    STRING;
            Printer_Model:      STRING;
            Port_Attachment:    STRING;
            Adapter_Product:    STRING;
            Ipx_Address:        STRING;
            Description:        STRING;
            Notes:              STRING;
            User_Data:          STRING;
            Serial_Number:      STRING;
            Property_Tag:       STRING;
            Contact_Name:       STRING;
            Contact_Location:   STRING;
            Alert_State:        STRING;
            Location:           STRING;
            Type:               STRING;
        };
