IBM Enterprise Console, Manual

Page: 25 / 194

This option allows an adapter to send all events to the primary event
server even if the primary event server is stopped briefly, such as when
loading a new rule base.
If you use this option to wait for restarting an event server, set the value
for a period of time longer than necessary for the event server to be
stopped and then restarted.
The RetryInterval keyword is optional. The default is 120 seconds.
ServerLocation
Specifies the name of the host on which the event server is installed. The
value of this field must be one of the formats shown in the following table,
depending on whether the adapter is a TME adapter or a non-TME
adapter, and whether the event server is part of an interconnected Tivoli
management region:
Adapter Type Format
TME
EventServer
TME in an interconnected
Tivoli management region
EventServer
#region_name
non-TME host_name or IP_address. Use the dotted format
for IP_address.
Note: AS/400 adapters are non-TME adapters.
For TME adapters on managed nodes and non-TME adapters,
ServerLocation
can contain up to eight values, separated by commas. The
first location is the primary event server, while others are secondary
servers to be used in the order specified when the primary server is down.
For endpoint adapters, secondary event servers, if any, are defined in the
IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console gateway configuration file. Only specify a
primary event server in an endpoint adapter configuration file.
The default is EventServer. To use a non-TME value for ServerLocation,
see “Configuration File” on page 97 for more information.
The ServerLocation keyword is required.
Note: ServerLocation defines the path and name of the file for logging
events, instead of the event server, when used with the TestMode
keyword.
ServerPort
Specifies the port number on a non-TME adapter on which the event
server listens for events. Set this keyword value to zero (
0
), the default
value unless the portmapper is not available on the event server, which is
the case if the event server is running on Windows or the event server is a
Tivoli Availability Intermediate Manager (see the following note). If the
port number is specified as zero (
0
) or it is not specified, the port number
is retrieved using the portmapper.
The ServerPort keyword can contain up to eight values, separated by
commas. For non-TME adapters that send events to a UNIX event server,
use the default value of zero (
0
) (only one value of zero, even if multiple
UNIX event servers are specified with the ServerLocation keyword). For
