Server Parameters
DISPLAY-KANJI (FALSE)
supports displaying special characters, such as Kanji, that are embedded in the event text. If
this parameter is set to FALSE or not defined, ViewPoint strips out non-displayable
characters that have ASCII code values below 32 (space character) or between 126 (tilde
character) and 160 (a graphic character) from the event text. When the parameter is set to
TRUE, ViewPoint strips out only characters that have ASCII code values of 127 (delete
character) or below 32 (space character). Stripping these characters allows characters such as
Kanji to be displayed.
CAUTION: This feature is dependent on the displaying support feature of the terminal. Do
not try to set this parameter value to TRUE when the terminal does not support displaying
characters like Kanji; otherwise, this could cause the terminal to display garbage characters
or even to lock up.
Servers: ZVPT-EVNT-COLL, ZVPT-EVNT-DISP
EVENT-PREFIX (1)
indicates the prefix text that accompanies events displayed on the events screens. Possible
values are 1 (default value), 2, and 3. If 1 is used, the prefix shows the time of the event and
name of the system generating the event in the format “hh:mm \sysname.” Value 2 shows a
prefix with the date and time of the event and system name in the format “mon-dd hh:mm
\sysname.” Value 3 shows a prefix with the time of the event, system name, and a character
(!, *, or blank) in the beginning of the prefix that indicates the type of event (critical, action,
or other). If value 3 is used, the prefix is in the format “^hh:mm \sysname” where ^ is the
! character (for critical events), the * character for action events, and a blank character for all
other events.
A unique event prefix can be created by modifying the existing event template used by
ViewPoint. See Section 6 for more information on creating a custom event prefix.
Servers: ZVPT-EVNT-COLL, ZVPT-EVNT-DISP
HANGAROUND (FALSE)
indicates whether a process remains alive after the last opener closes it. The default value is
FALSE (the process goes away after the last opener closes it). If TRUE, the process never
voluntarily terminates (TRUE is the recommended setting).
Servers: ZVPT-EVNT-NTFY
IGNOREALTEVENT (FALSE)
Allows two event collection servers to run simultaneously and thereby improve event
reception performance. IGNOREALTEVENT indicates whether the server should ignore the
alternate-events display. If the display is ignored, no events are collected for that display and
any requests for service are rejected with a ViewPoint error 325. The default value is
FALSE, meaning that all displays are managed from one server.
Note that this feature is used in the default Pathway configuration to create two servers:
ZVPT-EVNT-COLL, which manages the primary and alternate event displays, and
ZVPT-EVLE-COLL, which manages the last events display.
