Altering Prefix Text for Events
You can alter the prefix text that appears with event messages on the Primary, Alternate,
and Last Event screens. To do this, specify the EVENT-PREFIX parameter in the
PATHDEFS configuration file. The parameter has three possible settings: 1, 2, and 3.
The default setting is 1. If you use setting 1, the prefix will contain the time of the
event and the name of the system that generated it; the prefix will be in the format:
hh
the hour of day that the event was generated.
mm
the minute in the hour that the event was generated.
sysname
the name of the system that generated the event.
If you use setting 2, the prefix is displayed with the date and time of the event and the
system name; it will be in the format:
mon-dd
the month and day of the year in which the event was generated.
hh
the hour of day that the event was generated.
hh:mm \sysname.
mon-dd hh:mm \sysname.
