7 Event Management
The TCP/IP subsystem reports information about events it detects by issuing event 
messages. A management application can obtain these event messages by opening 
an Event Management Service (EMS) distributor process and requesting the 
messages. The application can also specify that a filter be applied to select certain 
event messages. This section describes the event messages that the TCP/IP 
subsystem can issue and the specific programming considerations for dealing with 
these event messages in an application. For general information on how an application 
obtains event messages from a subsystem, see the EMS Manual. 
In this section, event-message tokens and their values are represented in data 
definition language (DDL). For a brief explanation of DDL as it applies to SPI, see the 
SPI Programming Manual.
 Subsystem Processes That Report Events
Event messages are generated by the TCP/IP process. All event messages issued by 
the TCP/IP subsystem contain the subsystem ID, ZTCI-VAL-SSID, which is described 
in SPI Standard Definitions on page 5-1. For more information about subsystem IDs, 
see the SPI Programming Manual. 
Table 7-1 lists the event messages that the TCP/IP subsystem can issue.
