Connecting to the CORBA interface

The probe connects to the CORBA interface using Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) files.

The probe acquires the object reference of the EmsSessionFactory_I CORBA object from the IOR file specified by the ObjectIORFile property. If you did not specify a value for the ObjectIORFile property, the probe gets the object reference of the EmsSessionFactory_I object from the Naming Service, using the value specified by the NamingContextPath property.

The probe can locate the Naming Service in one of two ways:
  1. By using the host name and port number of the Naming Service host specified by the ORBInitialHost and ORBInitialPort properties.
  2. By using the IOR file specified by the NSIORFile property.

The Naming Service uses the value specified by the NamingContextPath property to locate the EmsSessionFactory_I object.

After the probe has acquired the reference to the EmsSessionFactory_I object, it logs into the ZTE system using the user name and password specified by the Username and Password properties. It then creates an EMS Session and queries the Subscriber and EMS manager objects. The Subscriber manager object is used to subscribe to realtime event notifications and the EMS manager object is used to perform resynchronizations.
