object class
object-class and object-name identify the system to which the command is submitted. object-class is one of the following:
| Value | Description | Supported Systems |
|---|---|---|
| 2200_host | OS 2200 systems and partitions | OS 2200 |
| windows_host | Windows systems and partitions | Windows |
| ansi_x3.64_host unix_host | ANSI X3.64-compliant systems and partitions | UNIX, Linux |
| mcp_host aseries_host | MCP systems and partitions | MCP |
| host | Any of the other system types listed in this table | OS 2200, MCP, UNIX, Linux |
Since the name of each system defined in Operations Sentinel is unique across all system types, it is generally easier to specify the class “host” for most commands.
object-name
object-name is the name of the systemand must match the name that you specified for the system when you defined it using Operations Sentinel Console.
SP-AMS Consideration [MCP, UNIX]
You can use the \_HOSTID\ variable to substitute the name of the systemthat sent the matched message.
CP-AMS Consideration [OS 2200]
The character strings $HOST$ and $CONSOLE$ have a special meaning when used as values of an object name. Operations Sentinel replaces the string with the name of the system($HOST$) or console ($CONSOLE$) where the matched message originated.
command-string
command-string is any string of characters, including the empty string, that is to be submitted as a command to the system.
application-name
application-name is the name of the application that submits the command. You can use this attribute to identify the source of the CO event report. This attribute is optional.
application-qualifier
application-qualifier is an optional qualifier for the application name. You can use it to identify the specific instance of an application.
