Other options to share parameters or alarm not using replicated elements

What other options would there be to share an elements parameters or alarms from an element X hosted on DMS-1.   Another DMS named DMS-2 needs to see at minimum alarm data from element X.  Also, it would be beneficial if specific parameter data also be shared or retrieved by DMS-2 but not neccessary.

Each DMS has different software versions so Replication is not an option.

Possible solutions I have read in DataMiner Docs is:

  1. Create Virtual Elements on the Hosting DMS-1.  Once the virtual element is configured, does DMS-1 need to be set up as an SNMP Agent?
  2. Forward SNMP traps from DMS-1 to DMS-2.

Is there any other options I may be missing?

Hi Randy,

  • If only polling is required, you could use Web Services or User Defined API to expose the data from the source DMA. In case of virtual elements, the SNMP agent will expose different OIDs, which means that you will need to develop a  new connector that will poll these new OIDs.
  • If eventing is required, as far as I know the only out-of-the-box option is SNMP forwarding.

Hope it helps.
