Support in SNAX/HLS
An application can collect SNAX/HLS event messages by communicating with an
Event Management Service (EMS) consumer distributor or printing distributor
process. The application specifies a filter for the distributor to use.
An application requests event messages by issuing a GETEVENT command to the
consumer distributor. The distributor responds when it finds an event message that
matches the criteria specified in the filter.
Like the SPI command and response buffers, the event–message buffers contain
tokens. Applications can use EMS procedures to extract event–message tokens from
an event–message buffer or to format text messages from an event–message buffer.
The event messages issued by SNAX/HLS are described in Section 8, “Event
Management.” (For more information on event management, refer to the
Communications Management Programming Manual. The procedures for creating a
consumer distributor, writing a filter, and using EMS are described in the Event
Management Service (EMS) Manual.
