TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

• Token descriptions
• Effect and recovery information
The syntax box contains the text version of the event message, which is available through the
EMSTEXT procedure. When you use the EMSTEXT procedure to get the text version of an event
message, you request either the display format or the console compatible format, as described in
the EMS Manual. For the ACS subsystem event messages, both the versions are identical.
Listed Tokens
Conditional tokens and unconditional tokens that are specific to an event message are included
in the message descriptions.
Tokens specific to the ACS subsystem begin with the unique subsystem identifier ZACL- (the identifier
ZACS- is used by a different subsystem).
Unlisted Tokens
When a token is common to all event messages, it is not included in the message descriptions in
this chapter. For a description of all tokens not listed in this chapter, see the TS/MP Management
Programming Manual.
The following unconditional tokens, which can have different values for each event message, occur
in each event message generated by the ACS subsystem and are not individually listed in the
message descriptions:
token-type ZSPI-TYP-BOOLEANZEMS-TKN-EMPHASIS
Contains the value ZSPI-VAL-FALSE if the value of ZACL-TKN-EVENT-LEVEL is less than
ZACL-VAL-EVENT-LEVEL-WARNING.
Contains the value ZSPI-VAL-TRUE if the value of ZACL-TKN-EVENT-LEVEL is greater than or equal to
ZACL-VAL-EVENT-LEVEL-WARNING.
token-type ZSPI-TYP-INTZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER
Contains the ACS subsystem event message number.
token-type ZSPI-TYP-STRINGZEMS-TKN-TEXT
Contains the message text for each event message. Placeholders for conditional tokens that are
omitted from an event message are replaced by empty strings. Null values of tokens included in the
event message are converted to strings similar to non-null values.
The value of this token is used only when no EMS message template for the event is installed on the
system in which the event message is generated, or when a filesystem error prevents the EMS event
message formatting facilities from retrieving the message template.
token-type ZSPI-TYP-FNAME32ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER
Contains the name of the subsystem manager process responsible for the subject of the event message.
If the subject token of an event is ZACL-TKN-EVENT-SERVER-NAME, the value of ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER
is the name of the PATHMON process that manages the named server class. Otherwise, the value
of ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER is the name of the ACS domain coordinator process, $ZACS, on the system
where the event originated.
ACS Event Severity Levels
Event severity levels indicate the impact (on ACS subsystem resources and processes) of an event
occurrence detected by an ACS subsystem process. Every event occurrence logged by the ACS
subsystem indicates the severity of that occurrence. Most events defined by the ACS subsystem
can occur with any one of several severity levels depending upon the context in which the event
occurs and on how well the ACS subsystem can recover from the occurrence.
