JobDescription
Specifies an AS/400 job description that is to be used when
starting the adapter. The default is QGPL/QDFTJOBD.
LanguageID Specifies the AS/400 language ID in which alerts are to be sent to
the event server. If a value is specified for this keyword, the
AS/400 secondary language must be installed for that language ID.
The default value for this keyword is ENU.
ProcessExistingAlerts
Specifies whether to send existing alerts on the data queue defined
by the FilterDataQueue keyword. NO sends any new alerts sent to
the data queue. YES sends the next alert received on the data
queue. This can cause the adapter to resend previously sent alerts
and create duplicate events sent to the event server. The default is
NO
.
ServerCCSID Specifies the coded character set identifier (CCSID) of the event
server. This is in case the event server has a special code page or
graphic character set that needs to be supported. The default is
00819.
Class Definition Statement File
The CDS file defines how events are constructed from information sent by the
AS/400 alert adapter. It is described in detail in “Class Definition Statement File”
on page 18.
SELECT Statement Example
SELECT
1:ATTR(=,$ALERT_CDPT),VALUE(PREFIX, "10"); # 10xx codepoints
Here, $ALERT_CDPT is a custom keyword set by the adapter. These keywords can
be used to write shorthand notation for SELECT statements. The following is
equivalent to the previous example:
SELECT
1:$ALERT_CDPT=10";
FETCH Statement Example
FETCH
1:SUBSTR(value, start, length);
Keywords
To customize events, the AS/400 alert adapter supports the following keywords in
class definition statements. Evaluation of these keywords is faster because access of
them is direct. Event definition content and syntax are described in the IBM Tivoli
Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide.
$ACTIONS Recommended actions to be taken for the alert.
$ACTION_CODE
The legacy action code for non-generic alerts (alert subvector
x’91’
).
$ADAPTER_CORREL
Unique alert identifier used to extract the alert from the alert
database on the AS/400 system.
$ADAPTER_HOST
The protocol address of the host where the adapter is running.
