AM3270 Management Programming Manual

SECTION 7
EVENT MANAGEMENT
The AM3270 subsystem reports information about events it detects
by issuing event messages. A management application can obtain
these event messages by opening an Event Management Service (EMS)
distributor process and requesting the messages. The application
can also specify that a filter be applied to select certain
event messages. This section describes the event messages that
the AM3270 subsystem can issue and the specific programming
considerations for dealing with these event messages in an
application. For general information on how an application
obtains event messages from a subsystem, refer to the Event
Management Service (EMS) Manual . For information on how event
messages can be obtained interactively, refer to the VIEWPOINT
Manual .
In this section, event-message tokens and their values are
represented in DDL. For a quick explanation of DDL as it applies
to SPI, refer to the appendix "Overview of DDL for SPI" in the
Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual .
SUBSYSTEM PROCESSES THAT REPORT EVENTS
Event messages issued by the AM3270 subsystem are generated
by the I/O process. All event messages issued by the AM3270
subsystem contain the subsystem ID ZAM3-VAL-SSID which is de-
scribed in "SPI Standard Definitions" in Section 5. For more
information about subsystem IDs, refer to the Distributed Systems
Management (DSM) Programming Manual .
Table 7-1 lists the event messages that the AM3270 subsystem can
issue which are retrievable by your management application.
