Netcool: probes nco_p_as

It is possible to retrieve alarms from the Alcatel SDH Network Management product the 1354RM.
Thus it is possible to combine & de-duplicate the alarms of several Regional managers onto one netcool server. By using this probe, you do not need to install the I.O.O.-interface on the RM. Concequently one does NOT need the Micromuse's I.O.O.-probe. Alcatel OS-OS

Working

This probe extracts information from the 1330AS, part of the 1354RM SDH-Region Manager.
As each alarm arrives, it is pass through the Alarm Survailance trace file.
While it guards the file's I-Node, it reads the file and passes all the information using nco_sql.
The alarms are presented in the same format as in teh alarmsurvailance window. Major difference is that (by de-duplication) only the latest alarm is presented, with its timestamp and Tally.
