I was going through the Sonic KB and came across a very interesting KB S3858(kb below). Has anyone tried this. Any suggestions on how this can be done

Title: "How to monitor the SonicMQ environment from OpenView ?"
Created: 07/30/2007 Last Modified: 11/13/2007
Status: Unverified
Goals:
How to monitor the SonicMQ environment from OpenView ?
Can I use OpenView or a similar tool to monitor the SonicMQ environment ?
Facts:
SonicMQ
All Supported Operating Systems
Fixes:
Starting with SonicMQ 5.0 a JMX monitoring interface was introduced with SonicMQ,
this interface can allow remote monitoring from external tools such as OpenView.
For previous versions like SonicMQ V4, some monitoring is available in the way of a
management API or the command line tools, whose commands can be run from scripts,
details on such configuration can be found in the SonicMQ V4 documentation.
Notes:
References to Written Documentation:

Yup, I have a comment as I just tried to Integrate Sonic and Zenoss via JMX. http://www.zenoss.com/
Zenoss supports integration with any JMX compliant product.
What Progress forgets to mention in the article is that Sonic is not JSR-160 compliant.... Which means that No third party tool will integrate with Sonic JMX management out of the box.. I do NOT believe OpenView/SonicJMX integration will work!
I have spoken with tech support and they said it is undetermined when they will have a JMX compliant solution.
This sucks, was really looking forward to the JMX integration.
Has anything changed re our support of JSR-160?
As of Sonic 8.0 JSR-160 connectors are supported and a JSR-160 compliant Sonic connector is provided.
See Chapter 19 "“Using JSR 160 Compliant Consoles” of the SonicMQ Configuration and Management Guide at: http://documentation.progress.com/output/Sonic/8.5.0/Docs8.5/books/mq_config_manage.pdf
