FTAM EMS Filters

This appendix presents example Event Management Service (EMS) filters that sort the

following sets of event messages related to Tandem FTAM:

•

All event messages generated by Tandem FTAM processes, including those from

both APLMGR and FTAM subsystems

•

Event messages generated by Tandem FTAM processes, including those from both

APLMGR and FTAM subsystems, that report critical events only

The source code given here must be run through the filter language compiler (EMF) to

produce a filter. The compiled filter can then be attached to EMS distributors. A TACL

macro, listed at the end of this appendix, is provided to load the necessary definitions

and compile the two filters.

The TACL definitions loaded by the macro, from files provided with the Tandem FTAM

software and installed in the ZSPIDEF subvolume, allow the filter to select event

messages based on specific tokens in the event-message header. The filters refer to

TACL variables provided in these definition files to set the values of the APLMGR and

FTAM subsystem IDs (ZOSA^VAL^SSID and ZOSF^VAL^SSID) and to check the

value of the EMPHASIS token (ZEMS^TKN^EMPHASIS).

The source code for the two filters and for the TACL macro to compile them is provided

as part of the Tandem FTAM software. The file ID (last part of the filename) for each

file is given here; they are installed, by default, in the volume and subvolume listed in

Appendix C, FTAM Software Files

. For more information on the use of EMS in relation

to Tandem FTAM, see Section 2, FTAM Management Environment; for information on

filtering strategies for Tandem FTAM, see Section 5, Monitoring FTAM Performance.
