SESAM-KLDS - the compatible interface for linear data structures
Above all in public administration, it is normal for users to employ products from different vendors. This means that it is necessary for certain programs to run on all the different systems.
SESAM-KLDS allows you to create system-independent programs for processing linear data structures. The database calls are made via the database interface KLDS, defined under the auspices of the German Ministry of the Interior.
SESAM-KLDS converts database calls in KLDS to CALL DML statements. SESAM-KLDS application programs are also possible within a openUTM environment.
All the functions of the KLDS interface are described in a separate manual, “SESAM-KLDS (BS2000)”.
Remote output of information with SNMP
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol and was developed as a protocol for network management services in the TCP/IP internet. SNMP’s range of application has since been extended to include system management, application management and even management of middleware products such as databases and transaction monitors. Similarly to TCP/IP, the name SNMP does not just stand for the protocol but for the entire management system which is based on SNMP. SNMP employs a client/server architecture, where the management platform is the client and the management agents are the servers.
There is an agent for the SNMP management of SESAM/SQL databases in BS2000 named SESAM/SQL agent. This subagent is contained in SNMP AGENTS (software product sesAgent ) and supplies information on SESAM databases and SESAM-DBHs. SESAM/SQL agent is described in detail in the manual "SNMP Management (NET-SNMP) for BS2000" and the manual "SESAM database operation" ( chapter "Outputting operational data with SESMON").
