Description

Interface Summary

AttributeConstants	An interface which defines constants for various attribute types.
AuthenticationModel	This interface provides methods for authenticating the user, before he configures.
AuthorizationInterface	This is the interface that need to be implemented for performing authorization in ConfigServer.
ConfigAPIFactory	This is a remote interface for getting the DeviceConfigurationAPI instance in order to execute the tasks remotely.
ConfigConstants	An interface which defines various constants used across the config server.
ConfigResultListener	This interface defines the listener for the Configuration responses as a ConfigResultEvent object.
ConfigTaskListener	This listener interface is for receiving config events on configuring various devices.
ConfigUpdater	This interface need to be implemented by classes which need to perform certain operations after configuring a device.
ConfigurationUpload	This class if implemented by the user will be used during upload of Configuration, that is, the user class implementing this interface will be used (in case of rollback) for current configuration.
DeviceAuditAPI	This is an interface for accessing the Audit details.
DeviceConfigurationAPI	This is an API interface for configuring devices through Configuration Server.
GenericConfigSession	This interface need to be implemented for maintaining a separate session with ConfigClient.
InventoryHandler	This interface need to be implemented for handling the InventoryInputs defined in a DataSource.
NmsConfigConstants	This class contains various constants that will be used by the NmsConfigClient to get data like networks, snmp nodes etc from the NMS Server.
RequestHandler	This interface receives and handles requests that are arriving through ConfigClient.
TaskManipulationInterface	This interface allows manipulation of attributes defined in a task before configuring devices.

Class Summary

AttributeAudit	This class holds audit details for various attributes executed over a device.It provides details like name of the identifier, number of retries carried out for a device, attribute status etc.
AttributeEvent	This event indicates that an attribute has been configured over a device.
ConfigClient	ConfigClient is an abstract base class which allows an applet or an application (i.e client) to communicate with the Configuration Management Server.
ConfigClientAPI	This class provides various APIs for manipulating configuration tasks or getting task related data from ConfigServer.
ConfigLogger	This class is used to log the Config Messages.
ConfigPDU	The ConfigPDU class represents the PDU which encapsulates information like uniqueID, workID and the data which the user wants to transfer across client and configuration server.
ConfigProvider	This is a base class whose abstract methods need to be implemented for downloading or uploading configuration from various devices through a specific protocol.
ConfigResultEvent	This event indicates that a response has been arrived from ConfigServer for a submitted request.
ConfigTaskEvent	This event indicates that a device associated with a ConfigTask has been configured for Task execution or for applying the rollback.
ConfigTaskOverEvent	This event indicates that the configuration is over for the associated devices in a ConfigTask.
DataSourceGenerator	This class provides methods for generating DataSource in XML Format.
DeviceAudit	This class holds audit details for the devices associated with the executed task.
DeviceUpdateEvent	This class holds details about the configuration of a device.
TaskAudit	This class holds audit details for the tasks executed in ConfigServer.
TaskGenerator	This class provides methods to define or generate configuration information in XML format.

Exception Summary

ConfigAuthorizationException	This exception is thrown if a particular user is not authorized for creating or executing a task over a set of devices.
ConfigException	A class that catches and reports Configuration errors.
ConfigParseException	A class which represents the errors which occurs during the parsing of configtask xml files.
ConfigStoreException	An class which can be used to report errors in storing the configuration details in the database or flat files.
InvalidTaskException	A class which is used to report errors when in the executeTask method if combinedTask is mentioned in case of single task or independent task is mentioned in case of CombinedTask.
ProtocolProviderException	A class which represents an error when it is not able to read ConfigProvider or create an instance of ConfigProvider.
TaskExistsException	Thrown when trying to create a task with overwrite attribute as false and task with the same name already exists in the database.
TaskNotFoundException	This class is used to throw an exception if the task being executed is not already present either in database or flat files.

Package com.adventnet.management.config Description

Provides classes and interfaces for creating and applying configuration over Network Elements.

It contains classes for performing the configuration using the following protocols.

1.SNMP
2.TL1
3.Telnet
4.TFTP
5.CORBA

Some of the important features provided by the classes in this package are as follows:

1.XML Based Configuration.
2.Reuse of existing Configuration.
3.Users can also plugin their own protocol.
4. Provides interfaces for implementing ConfigTask, Authentication model , TaskManipulation ,RequestHandler,Config Updater..
5.Multi protocol support.
6.Rollback support (in case device Configuration fails).
