Generating Standard Events

EMS Manual—426909-005

10-27

Task 10. Code and Test Your Event Generation

Code

assign the DDL definitions of your enumerations to these tokens so the standard

templates can display them.

4. If you defined your own enumerations with 89 enumeration clauses to tokens from

other subsystems, assign the DDL definitions of your enumerations to those tokens

so they can be incorporated into the display by templates defined by you or by

those other subsystems.

5. If you defined displays for your standard events different from those of the standard

templates, define templates for these displays:

a. Copy the standard template from EMS (defined in ZSPIDEF.SEMSTMPL) that

describes your standard event to your template file.

b. Modify the template that is by standard type to a template by event-number by

replacing the statement:

MSG: ZEMS-TKN-CONTENT-STANDARD, ZEMS-VAL-eventtype-name

with

MSG: ZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER,ss-VAL-eventnumber-name

c. Modify the display of any tokens in your template. To display additional tokens,

add the tokens to the end of your template if possible. Do not delete any

tokens from the standard template.

6. If you defined your own private events, you must provide one event-number

template for each of your private events. Follow one of the standard templates in

designing the template for your private event so the display for all your event

messages looks similar to the operators. Use Step 5 to create the templates for

your private events.

7. Compile your EMS templates. Follow the established build procedure in your

company.

Task 10. Code and Test Your Event Generation

Code

Encode and send your events to an EMS collector, and test your event generation

code.

Task 10.1: Define the EMS Collector for Your Events

In general, EMS events that are for operations management (all standard events) and

EMS events intended for a large audience to the primary collector ($0); otherwise,

send your EMS events to an alternate collector. If you send events to an alternate

collector, let the operator specify the collector name.

Note. You must provide one event-number template for each standard event for which

you want to customize the display.
