This chapter provides administration information for the FTI (CORBA and Script Language interfaces).
The CORBA and Script Language interfaces are installed as part of the initial CPC installation. The Script Language interface is installed automatically. For the CORBA interface you are prompted and asked whether you want the CORBA interface installed and configured. For more information about the installation and configuration of CPC and the FTI, refer to the Cisco Provisioning Center User's Guide.
The IDL files provided with CPC are located in the $CCP_REL/sys/idl directory. The following two IDL files should appear in this directory:
For more information about the interfaces provided in these two IDL files, refer to the Cisco Provisioning Center Programmer's Reference Guide.
The two IDL files mentioned above make use of the Name Service IDL, the Event Service IDL, and the CORBA Life Cycle Service. The Event Service IDL and the Life Cycle Service IDL are shipped to be used for the development of clients of the CPC interface. The Life Cycle Service IDL is included in the $CCP_REL/sys/idl directory. The Event Service IDL is located in the $CCP_REL/sys/corba/OrbixEvents1.0/Untyped1.0c/idldirectory. The Name Service IDL is located in the $CCP_REL/sys/corba/OrbixNames_1.1/idl directory.
A CORBA interface is provided with Release 2.0 of CPC. The interface is based on CORBA version 2.0. The CORBA Server component is embedded in CPC and you do not require any additional licenses for this Server. The server can be used during development activities and for production.
CPC 2.0 software is tested and qualified against the Iona ORBIX implementation of CORBA. This does not impose any restriction on any other CORBA implementation complying to the CORBA version 2.0 standard.
Some Iona ORBIX runtime components are shipped with CPC. If you require development components (for example, compilers or sources) to develop Client applications to talk to our supplied Server, you will need to license CORBA Client development tools.
If you simply require the presence of runtime ORBIX components that Cisco has already licensed, you will not require any further license.
