OVNM 5.3 - Operations Agent for NonStop Object Configuration Client Guide

Object Configuration Client: The Understanding 49
NOTE:
The initial messages generated by OVNM after checking the status of objects for the first time allows
the current
state of the object to be mapped to the ObjectMAP. In case these messages are causing you
problems, then the
SkipEMS: Yes option or SkipEMS: All options can be used to suppress the first EMS
message.
The SkipEMS: Yes option suppresses the first EMS messag
e if the object is in Normal state and the threshold
has been defined with the eEvents pane. The SkipEMS: All option suppresses the first EMS message if the
object is
Normal regardless of whether or not an eEvents record was defined.
The default is value
is set as SkipEMS: Yes. To change this option you need to edit the MONCONF file and
create a CUSTCHGS Tacl routine
. For more information about how to create the CUSTCHGS routine, refer to
Appendix Q
in the OVNM User and Installation Guide.
The EMSON utili
ty turns the flag ON for every EMS threshold. This enables OVNM to send ALL the EMS
thresholds to ObjectMAP, even if the Map Event to ObjectMAP check box has not been configured for that
threshold.
To run the EMSON utility, execute the following command at
the TACL prompt:.
run EMSON / in <your ORMCONF file>/
NOTE:
In case of linked EMS thresholds, the DOWN object state is displayed in the ObjectMAP until an UP
event is detected by OVNM. Once an UP event occurs, the DOWN state is deleted from ObjectMAP
automa
tically. However, if the DOWN and UP states of the EMS thresholds are not linked then once the
DOWN event is detected, it will be displayed in ObjectMAP and will not be deleted until a manual action is
taken.
3-6-2 eBurst
OVNM provides the facility to define the burst criteria to be used to suppress the burst of EMS messages. The
eBurst criterion is linked to an individual EMS threshold. The eBurst tab page in the Actions dialog box is
displayed only when the EMS subsystem is selected.

eBurst Panel
This is the panel you will use to define how a burst should be detected. You have the option of
processing all of the messages until a burst is detected or ignoring all of the messages until a burst is
detected. If you check None, the Burst Definition record will be deleted (if one existed).
