Chapter 8 Monitoring the Adapter Using TIBCO Hawk : Invoking Microagent Methods

Invoking Microagent Methods
A set of default microagents, platform-specific and platform-independent, is loaded when a TIBCO Hawk Agent is started. When you install and start the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for PeopleSoft, microagents for the adapter are dynamically added to the local agent.
To invoke a microagent method on a TIBCO Hawk Agent, follow these steps:
1.
If TIBCO Hawk security is implemented on your system and you do not have access to microagents on this agent, an error dialog displays. Select another agent, or contact your system administrator to obtain access.
2.
Figure 28 Microagents, Methods and Arguments Dialog
This dialog has two modes, Invoke and Subscribe. Invoking a method immediately returns a single set of current results. Subscribing provides updates of current results at regular intervals. Radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog control these modes.
3.
Click a microagent name, such as Self, to display a list of associated methods and text descriptions in the panels below.
4.

Click the Done button to close the dialog.
These steps describe how to interactively invoke a microagent method and receive a single set of results in TIBCO Hawk Display. You can also use a microagent method as the data source of a TIBCO Hawk rule. Rules automatically receive method results, apply tests to evaluate them, then take action if necessary. For more information on building TIBCO Hawk rules and rule bases, see your TIBCO Hawk Administrator’s Guide.
