Hi Harry,
You didn't read your change logs. SendReport has been renamed
to SendReports (plural) and sends a _sequence_ of Report instances,
one for _each_ value of ActionTargetURIs. Each Report instance
contains the PlanStatus element, which contains PlanLastError,
which is the exact full set of SNMPv2/v3 error codes (e.g.,
'ReadOnly' or 'WrongEncoding'). One of the values of is also
'NoError' (i.e., success). Either the presence of the optional element
PlanLastError with 'NoError' or the absence of PlanLastError indicates
success of the action for the particular target agent URI.
OK?

Subject: WIMS> SendReport - multiple legacy devices
Question related to constructing SendReport for more than one legacy device
by the WIMS proxy...
Using Ira's Schedule example, below...
To find out the status of a print device with a legacy
SNMP manager using a WIMS Proxy, specify in a Schedule
a GetElements action as follows:
ActionTargetURIs = "snmp://example.com"
ActionTargetObjects = (sequence of)
ActionManagedEntityType = "Device"
(generic Device object planned for WIMS)
ActionManagedEntityURI = "*"
(wildcard for any device at target agent)
ActionRequestedElements = (sequence of)
ActionRequestedElement = "pwg-sm:PrtViewDeviceStatus"
(includes every interesting HR MIB state attribute)
ActionRequestedElement = "pwg-sm:PrtViewGeneralStatus"
(interesting state attributes from PrtGeneralTable)
ActionParameters (omitted, no vendor extensions needed)
1. Assume ActionTargetUIRs is a LIST?
ActionTargetURIs = "snmp://example1.com"; "snmp://example2.com";
"snmp://example3.com"...
2. Then, in the SendReport... how is the status (what we are monitoring in
this example) of device "example1" distinguished from the status of device
"example2 or 3"?
Is it simple by the ReportSourceURI (multiple - 3 in this case) reports
are returned in the SendReport... each with a different source URI
(snmp://examplex.com)
or is the ReportSequenceNumber supposed to correlate, somehow to the
Schedule in helping correlate values to a particular TargetURI (monitored
device)?
An example of very basic Schedule and SendReport for WIMS Proxy monitoring 3
devices for one or two elements would be very useful!
