5.3                 Loading MIB Modules

AgenPro will load MIB modules configured in a code generation project even if those modules are not loaded in the GUI. However, you will not be able to see and review property definitions for MIB objects from those modules. This may cause unexpected code generation behavior.

AgenPro needs to load MIB modules from a MIB Repository into its memory to be able to display and use the contained information for code generation. For a better overview and performance, it is recommended to not load unneeded MIBs. Nevertheless, load all MIB modules used in any of your code generation projects, in order to avoid unexpected results during code generation.

To Load MIBs:

1.   From the File menu, choose Open/Close MIB (or AgenProManual00011.png from the main tool bar). A shuffle dialog will appear. It contains two lists of MIB modules. The left list shows all MIB modules currently not loaded but available from the MIB repository. The right list shows the MIB mod­ules currently loaded. MIB modules displayed in bold text are mem­bers of the current project. See “Project Wizard” on page 24 for details.

2.   Select any MIB modules you want to load from the left list of available MIB modules.
You can search for module name sub-strings by simply typing charac­ters. A search popup will then appear. With the Up and Down keys you can navigate between the matches.
Click on the Add button to move the selected modules to the right list of MIBs to be loaded. If a MIB that is moved to the right list depends on another MIB module that is currently not loaded, then that MIB (and all MIBs it depends on) will be also moved to the right list too. This ensures that AgenPro has always a consistent view on MIB data.

3.   Select any MIB modules you want to unload (close) from the right list. Click on the Remove button to move the selected modules to the left list of available MIBs. Loaded MIB modules that depend on the removed (unloaded) MIB modules will also be unloaded and thus moved to the left list.

4.   Click on the OK button to execute the changes made. Depending on the number of MIB modules that need to be loaded, it may take a while until all modules are loaded and the MIB tree is refreshed.
