OVNPM Monitoring Configuration 19
2-3 Symbolic Path Name
SPN or the Symbolic Path Name provides OSS pathname support for PROGRAM, FILESIZE, and DISKFILE
domains. SPN are declared in the USERCFG file.
2-3-1 Symbolic Path Name Declaration
A symbolic pathname ID or the SPNID is a unique identifier that defines and refers an OSSPATH.
For example, 0web, my_app, and 2004data are valid SPNIDs.
The USERCFG syntax to declare a SPN is:
SPN <SPN-ID> [<SPN-FATHER-ID>]<oss path name>
Where:
<SPN-ID> is an eight character unique identifier. Symbolic pathname ID is a case sensitive string where
length varies from 1 to 8 characters. SPN-ID valid characters are [a-z A-Z0-9] and “_”. All other characters
are forbidden.
<OSS PATH NAME> is the path name for an OSS entity like FILE or DIRECTORY. It must start by character
“/”. If it contains space it must be quoted. The maximum length can be 248 characters. It can be split over
several lines using sign + at the beginning of the line.
<SPN-FATHER-ID> is identifier of an already define SPN.
The combined length of SPN and SPN-FATHER and their corresponding OSS pathnames should not exceed
1024 characters.
Example
spn websvr /usr/tandem/webserver
+ /T8996V50_14JUN02_ABL_V516_1
spn webbin websvr/bin
Here, webbin identifies path ‘/usr/tandem/webserver/T8996V50_14JUN02_ABL_V516_1/bin’.
NOTE:
USERCFG syntax is case sensitive only for SPN-ID and their declaration and/or instances using an OSS
pathname and/or symbolic path name.
