Instructions for downloading, installing and running
SMI++ on
WINDOWS NT/2000
Warning: DIM
must be installed
1. Download
-
get the file smixx.zip
-
unzip (extract) smixx.zip onto a "smixx" folder
2. Installation
-
Insert .../smixx/bin in the "path" (Control Panel, System,
Environment tab)
3. Running
-
set the environment variable DIM_DNS_NODE to <node name>,
<node name> is the complete name of the node where the
DIM Name Server (Dns) is running, ex. hpplus.cern.ch. This can be done
in Control Panel, System, Environment tab.

From then on you can start SMI++ proxies, State Managers
and User Interfaces, an example of a State Manager with two proxies is
available, if you go to directory smixx\src\examples\run_control, you can start them by typing the
following in different Command Prompts:
-
bin\evt_builder <domain_
name>
-
bin\logger <domain_name>
-
smiSM <domain_name> run_con
4. Creating your own Proxies
-
In order to make your own proxies you have to include files
in ...smixx\smixx and link with smirtl.lib in ...smixx\bin\smirtl.lib
(also smirtl.dll is there).
-
You also have to include and link with DIM, for that you should
create an environment variable "DIMDIR" containig the path to the DIM directory
(Control Panel, System, Environment tab)
-
The ...smixx/src/examples/run_control directory contains the
source code of evt_builder and logger (also a C++ version of the same proxies)
and devstudio settings to compile and link them are available in smixx/Visual/examples.dsw.
