NetXMS Support Forum

Finally, I found out how to compile the NetXMS 1.2.6 desktop console and here is a guide for compiling it on Windows7:

• Download NetXMS sources from SVN
  
  
  
  • Source package in "Download" section of an official site does not contain sources of the console, so use the SVN (for more info see https://www.netxms.org/forum/general/management-console-sources/)
  • SVN repository address: https://svn.netxms.org/public/netxms/tags/version-1.2.6
  • For example Tortoise (http://tortoisesvn.net/) can be used for downloading these sources
• Install Maven
  
  
  
  • Download Maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
  • Insttall Maven according to README.txt (extract downloaded archive, set environment variables PATH and JAVA_HOME)
  • Run "mvn --version" to verify that Maven is correctly installed
• Run version-1.2.6/src/java/package.cmd
  
  
  
  • For more info see https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/how-can-i-rebuild-the-new-java-console-from-scratchby-the-java-source-code/msg5207/#msg5207
• Install and configure Eclipse
  
  
  
  • Download Eclipse Indigo 3.7 (this version is recommended at https://www.netxms.org/forum/installation/eclipse-junos-rcp-compile-problems-netxms-console/msg9001/#msg9001) for RCP and RAP Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/indigo/sr2
  • Install plugins enumerated in a file version-1.2.6/src/java/eclipse_addons.txt. These plugins must be installed using a wizard in "Help->Install New Software" (see https://www.netxms.org/forum/windows/compilation-error-with-java-manage-console/msg9513/#msg9513)
• Import projects from following folders to Eclipse using a wizard "File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace":
  
  
  
  • version-1.2.6/src/java/netxms-eclipse
  • src/java/nebula/org.netxms.nebula.widgets.gallery (see https://www.netxms.org/forum/general/compiling-problem(missing-jar)/msg5261/#msg5261)
• Run console directly from Eclipse (for quick testing)
  
  
  
  • Right-click on nxmc.product under nxmc-core project and select "Run As->Eclipse Application"
• Create executable binary
  
  
  
  • Right-click on nxmc.product under nxmc-core project and select "Export"
  • In an export dialog, select "Eclipse product", press Next, and follow the wizard

Hi,
I would want to ask if it is possible to download a stable version of sources of a Management Console. I didn't find these sources in regular release packages and in actual state I can't be sure that sources of the console downloaded as an svn snapshot are stable.
Also I think that this state can be a bit confusing - I tried to make some changes in sources (including translating NetXMS into Czech) and I was unsuccesfully grepping Spanish words in source package of 1.2.6 (finally I found https://www.netxms.org/forum/general/about-the-language/ and the problem was solved).

Hi,
I would want to ask you, how to compile a NetXMS Management Console in Eclipse Indigo under Windows7. I've tried to experiment with Eclipse (it is a new IDE for me), but I didn't succeed. I tried to set the Eclipse Indigo according to
https://www.netxms.org/forum/installation/eclipse-junos-rcp-compile-problems-netxms-console/msg9001/#msg9001
but I couldn't run the console because of missing packages (org.netxms.api..., org.netxms.client...).
Please, could you give me a hint how to get sources of the console into the Eclipse and compile it?
Is "Import / Existing Projects into Workspace" a good way?

Hi, I know that Ithis topic was mentioned yet (for example  in https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/nxdbmbr-bug/msg7948/#msg7948).
Unfortunately in NetXMS 1.2.6 with PostgreSQL 9.2.4 under Windows7 after

C:\NetXMS\bin> nxdbmgr.exe export backup_file

I still get

NetXMS Database Manager Version 1.2.6
ERROR: cannot load schema file "C\lib\sql\dbschema_sqlite.sql" Database export failed.

Adding "DataDirectory = path" into netxmsd.conf doesn't help (unfortunately I don't understand how it is connected with the error and which path should I use). I can't find this issue in BugTracker, so I am afraid that I am missing something important.
Could you please tell me how should I export the database with nxdbmgr.exe correctly?

Hi, I would like to ask you two questions related to configuration of NetXMS:

First, is it possible to prevent some users from viewing some perspectives?
My goal is to prepair a "simple" perspective for non-experienced users and I would like to hide their "Default Perspective" button. I would like the default perspective to be visible only for more privileged users. Ideally, non-experienced users should not be able to customize their perspective at all.

And the second question: Is it possible (in some perspectives) to hide items in a context menu of objects in an Objects Browser?
A motivation is the same as in previous case: non-experienced users could be confused.

Hi, maybe I've found some bugs in an Alarm Details tool in NetXMS 1.2.6 on 64b Windows7.
- First, it is not possible to edit comments attached to alarms (although an Edit "button" is visible and clickable).
- Second, when a state of an alarm is set to "Resolved" in Alarm Browser, Alarm Details window displays a "Terminated" state (after refresh).
- Similarly, when a state of an alarm is changed using a "Sticky Acknowledge" menu item, Alarm Browser displays an icon with a lock, but the Alarm Details window displays an icon without a lock.

Thank you for your answer, I found all vcproj files and xmalloc.c in an SVN.
Also I found out that the file messages.rc is not missing, but it is generated from messages.mc (at least I hope it should work like this after correct setting of my VS).

Hi,
I encountered a following problem when compiling NetXMS 1.2.5 (stable) in Visual Studio 2010 Professional on 64b Windows7.
It seems that a file netxms.sln contains references to files not included in source tar.gz archive.
For example files
- src\libtre\xmalloc.c
- src\agent\core\messages.rc
- src\agent\subagents\dbquery\dbquery.vcproj
- src\libexpat\libexpat\libexpat.vcproj
- src\libnxmb\libnxmb.vcproj
- src\nxlptest\nxlptest.vcproj
- src\flow_analyzer\libipfix\libipfix.vcproj
- src\flow_analyzer\nxflowd\nxflowd.vcproj
- src\nxinstall\nxinstall.vcproj
are missing. I'm not sure if these files are necessary, but either some source files are missing or netxms.sln is not actual.
Please, could you upload a consistent version of stable sources and project file for VS?

And do you really use VS for compiling NetXMS for Windows or do you use another method (cross-compilation)? Maybe this is the most important part of the question for me, because my goal is to compile NetXMS for Windows from modified sources.

Hi,
after upgrading to 1.2.3 the problem unfortunatelly still remains.

When I run the tool, created table is empty.

Thank you for your quick answer.

"OID suffix of first column" is used as index for second and subsequent columns.

Hi,
first, I want to sorry for my English.

I have a following problem:
In Object Tools I have created a new tool of type "SNMP Table".
It was identical to the tool "&Info->&Routing table (SNMP)" except for table columns.
After running that tool, displayed table was empty although I could see content of the table
in a MIB Browser.

I could replicate this problem by removing 4 columns from "&Info->&Routing table (SNMP)".
When one column (Metric) left, the table stayed empty.

I can't see actual status of a SNMP communication, so I don't know if SNMP request failed
or if another error occured (some progress bar would be a helpful feature).

I am using NetXMS 1.2.1 running on Windows 7.

Is it a bug or am I missing something?
