DE Event Reports Syntax

Format

TYPE=DE | CLASS=[owner-class-name . ] ... object-class
				| INSTANCE=[owner-class-name . ] ... object-name
			[ | HOST=system-name ]
			[ | APPL=application-name ]
			[ | APPLQUAL=application-qualifier ]

owner-class-name

owner-class-name is a qualifier for any object that is not a system or server. Multiple iterations of owner-object-name are required for an object that is not a system or a server, and is not contained directly in a system. For example, If UNIX system A contains tape subsystem B which contains tape drive C, the owner-class-name and object-class would be “A . B . C”. When an object-class or object-name contains qualification, the first segment of the qualifier must always refer to a system (or server).

object-class

object-class is the class to which the object belongs. The class determines the attributes (properties) of the object.

object-name

object-name is the name of the object to be deleted within the specified class and system. It is case sensitive. If the object does not already exist, the event report is not processed.

SP-AMS Consideration [MCP, UNIX]

You can use the variable \_HOSTID\ 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 instance name. Operations Sentinel Console replaces the string with the name of the system($HOST$) or console ($CONSOLE$) where the matched message originated.

system-name

system-name specifies the systemto which the object belongs. The systemname must match the name that you specified for the system when defining it using Operations Sentinel Console.

Note: If you use the new syntax for the CLASS and INSTANCE attributes, do not use the HOST attribute. The HOST attribute is included for compatibility only.

application-name

application-name is the name of the application program that sent the delete object request. This attribute is optional.

Reserved Names

See table in “AL Event Reports Syntax” for the names of processes internal to Operations Sentinel. Do not use them as the application name in event reports. These names are case sensitive, as all are application-name attribute values.

application-qualifier

application-qualifier further qualifies the program that sent the request. It is commonly used to distinguish between one instance of the application and another. This attribute is optional.

Example

The following example shows an event report sent to Operations Sentinel Console to delete the user "user1" owned by the system "sys1".

TYPE=DE | CLASS=UNIX/Linux System . UNIX/Linux User
				| INSTANCE=sys1 . user1

The following example shows an event report sent to Operations Sentinel Console to delete the tape drive identified by the third token of the message that was matched and owned by the host identified by "$HOST$".

TYPE=DE | CLASS=OS 2200 System . OS 2200 Tape
				| INSTANCE=$HOST$ . \_TOKEN3\
