Recovering Events After a Shutdown
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 3, he prefix is displayed with the time of the event, the system name,
and an identifying character (!, * or blank) in the beginning of the prefix to indicate the
type of event (critical, action, or other); it will be in the format:
^
^ is the ! character (to indicate critical events), the * character (to indicate action
events), or a blank character (to indicate all other events).
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.
Any changes you make to the EVENT-PREFIX parameter are changed after you restart
ViewPoint. For more information about setting the EVENT-PREFIX parameter, see
Appendix A, “Server Assigns and Parameters.”
You can also create a custom event prefix by modifying the existing event template used
by ViewPoint. The prefix specified in the template is used by all ViewPoint terminals
running on the system. You can find the event template source code used to create the
template in subvolume $vol.ZTEMPL where $vol is the volume on which the
ZTEMPL ISV was installed. The template is normally found in the system template file
on $SYSTEM. For help with creating, compiling, and installing templates, see the
DSM Template Services Manual.
Recovering Events After a Shutdown
If there is a CPU failure affecting the ViewPoint event collection server or if ViewPoint
is intentionally shut down, the ViewPoint event display cache is lost. You can determine
whether or not these events are recovered when ViewPoint is restarted by setting a
parameter called RECOVER-CACHE. This parameter determines the kind of recovery
procedure that occurs automatically after the failure or shutdown.
The two possible settings are True and False (the default setting). False means that no
events previously listed in the cache will be recovered. When ViewPoint is started
