Specifying EMS Collectors By default, the consumer distributor examines event messages in the log file
maintained by the $0 collector process. You can direct the consumer distributor to
examine messages in the log files maintained by alternate collector processes as well.
Use the EMSDISTCOLL operand of the SYSPARMS command to specify the name of
the collector process from which the consumer distributor receives messages about
external subsystems. Specify EMSDISTCOLL as a valid process name. The following
example specifies an EMS collector process name of $EMSC:
SYSPARMS EMSDISTCOLL=$EMSC
The default collector process name is $0. You can specify up to 10 collector processes.
Managing the Consumer
Distributor Process
Using NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands, you can start, stop, and configure the
consumer distributor from which NonStop NET/MASTER MS receives event
messages.
Specifying the Consumer Distributor Program File
Use the EMSDISTPFN operand to specify the program file name of the EMS
distributor that forwards messages to NonStop NET/MASTER MS. Specify
EMSDISTPFN as a valid file name. For example, to specify a distributor program file
name of $SYSTEM.SYS00.EMSDIST, issue the following command:
SYSPARMS EMSDISTPFN=$SYSTEM.SYS00.EMSDIST
Note You can choose any volume and subvolume, but the file name must be EMSDIST.
The distributor specified by EMSDISTPFN is started when you issue the EMSDIST
START command.
Setting Execution Attributes of the Consumer Distributor
The execution attributes of a distributor process are system parameters that you can
change by using the SYSPARMS command. The values take effect when the EMSDIST
START command is issued. Table 8-1 identifies the SYSPARMS command operands
that set the execution attributes.
