Package com.ibm.tivoli.nm.collectors.framework.collector Description

Contains all of the base classes for creating and defining an ITNM Java™ collector.

Collector

The Collector class is the abstract class that all ITNM java collectors must extend. It provides all of the standard XML-RPC method implementations that are supported by ITNM, as well as abstract methods to define how the data may be collected.

Data Store

The CollectorDataStore is a simple standardised interface for storing network data collected by the collector. The methods on the interface correspond to the XML-RPC methods supported by the Collector class.

Implementations for the data store can be found in the com.ibm.tivoli.nm.collectors.framework.store package, such as the standard DataStore or, for Radio Area Network (RAN) specific data, the RANDataStore.

Exceptions

The CollectorException class is the standardised exception class thrown by the Java™ collector framework. All other exception types in the framework extend this exception, such as the CollectorValidationException, which represents a failure in validating network data collected by the collector framework.

Constants

The CollectorConstants class contains final static variables that represent constants within the system. These include:
