A sample Hawk Spot microagent is provided to enable customers to see how to monitor or execute commands on a microagent without using their environment. Hawk Spot supports the following methods:

• accelerate
• addHawk
• decelerate
• deleteHawk
• getAllData
• getAngle
• getColor
• getColorAssignmentCount
• getMaxThreads
• getName
• getReleaseVersion
• getTraceLevel
• getTraceParameters
• resume
• setAngle
• setColor
• setMaxThreads
• setTraceLevel
• setTraceParameters
• suspend

From the Windows Start Menu:
 

Select Start-->Programs-->RTView-->Demos-->Simulators-->Hawk Spot

From an initialized command window :
 

type run_hawkspot

On UNIX
From an initialized terminal window :
 

type run_hawkspot

Method Repository
A Method Repository file is used to populate the initial values of drop down menus in the Attach to Data and Define Command dialogs. This makes it easy to create displays for agents and microagents when they are not online. See Application Options for more information on creating a Method Repository file.

It is possible to edit an existing Method Repository file, however the file name hawkmethodrepository.xml cannot be modified. If hawkmethodrepository.xml is not found in the specified directory or your current working directory, RTView will look in the lib directory. If the Method Repository file is not found, dialog drop down menus will remain empty until agents and microagents begin to come online.

To edit an existing Method Repository file, supported tags and attributes are as follows:
 

Tag	Attribute			Description
hawkmethodrepository	xmlns			Top level tag that includes the namespace attribute xmlns, which must be defined as www.sl.com (xmlns="www.sl.com")
	storeMethodListMode			Format of Method Repository changes according to the value of storeMethodListMode (values: 0=store common method lists 1=store all method lists)
methodlist	name			Method list name
	method
		name		Method name
		async		Method asynchronous value
		impact		Method impact value
		returnfield		Return field name
		argument	name	Argument name
			type	Argument type
			choice	Choice for argument
agent	name			Agent name
	connection name			Connection name
	microagent	name		Microagent name
		key		Corresponds to name of method list

An example Method Repository file:
