For descriptions of these tokens, see the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
Programming Manual, the Event Management Service (EMS) Manual, and the sections on
SPI and EMS standard definitions in Section 4, “Common Definitions.”
The following general rules apply to the assignment of required tokens for every DNS
event message.
ZSPI-TKN-SSID
is always assigned the value ZDNS-VAL-SSID.
ZEMS-TKN-CONSOLE-PRINT
is assigned the value TRUE, except in the following event messages:
ZDNS-EVT-TASK-BOT
ZDNS-EVT-TASK-EOT
ZDNS-EVT-TASK-OPEN
ZDNS-EVT-TASK-CLOSE
ZDNS-EVT-TASK-RESTART
These event messages are generated to aid in post-mortem analysis of DNS errors and
are not of general interest to network and system operators.
ZEMS-TKN-EMPHASIS
is assigned the value FALSE. For those event messages listed previously under
“Critical Events,” it would be TRUE.
ZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER
is assigned one of the DNS event messages displayed in Table 6-1, earlier in this
section.
ZEMS-TKN-GENTIME
is provided by EMS and is always allowed to default. This token provides the
time (Greenwich Mean Time) that the reporting subsystem created the event
message. In most cases, ZEMS-TKN-GENTIME is close to the time the event
occurred.
ZEMS-TKN-PROC-DESC
is assigned (by EMS) to be the name of the process generating the event.
