Sharing Override Templates

It is easiest to manage templates on network nodes if all nodes use the same override

templates. Override template substitutions are made when an event is retrieved by the

EMSTEXT, EMSGET, EMSGETTKN, or SPI_BUFFER_FORMAT procedures. If an

event travels to another node before these procedures retrieve it, the substitution must

be made by an override template on the other node.

A problem occurs if some nodes need the override template substitution, but other

nodes do not. Thus, there should be only one override condition for a particular

application’s event. Consider this when you construct a conglomerate template file.

For more information on override templates, see Section 1, Introduction, and Section 3,

Template Language.
