EMS Templates and Macros

The EMS Message Format Templates allow the output from ALERTS and program

messages written to EMS to be tokenized and organized as desired by the customer.

The following three files are supplied at installation to allow for this customization:

EMSBUILD A macro to build the template file based on the system templates

and the EMSTEMP file.

EMSDDL A DDL layout for the EMS message.

EMSTEMP The TEMPLATE layout for the XYGATESW messages.

HASHING

Hashing is an algorithm used to determine whether or not Guardian or OSS files have

been modified. The algorithm is applied to the contents of a file and a hash value is

produced. The following Hashing algorithms listed below are currently supported:

• MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) represents something like a digital fingerprint

so that you can be sure a file is exactly the same whether it is stored here, there,

or anywhere. It is a very effective way to ensure a digital signature and file

integrity.

• SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is most commonly used from the SHA series of

cryptographic hash functions. SHA-1 represents something like a digital fingerprint

so that you can be sure a file is exactly the same whether it is stored here, there, or

anywhere. It is a very effective way to ensure a digital signature and file integrity.

HOST CONNECTION

The host connection is made via TCP/IP (IPV4 or IPV6 or DNS name) through a

LISTNER and a PORT to a NonStop server where the XSW host component has been

installed. Additional NonStop servers can be configured to be accessed from a single

host connection via EXPAND.

INTEGRITY CHECK

An integrity check creates a baseline of values for a category. Each time a collection is

downloaded, the values are checked. If discrepancies are determined they are

flagged; new items, changed values, or missing items.

INTEGRITY CHECK HASHING

A Hashing integrity check creates a baseline of values for a category. Each time a

collection is downloaded and has the option of hashing selected, the values are

checked. If discrepancies are determined, they are flagged as new items, changed

values or missing items for example.
