XYPRO Technology Corporation 47 Proprietary and Confidential
SYSTEM The NonStop server node where the target product resides. You
only need to specify the SYSTEM if you want alerts from some
systems and not others.
LOCATION The volume and subvolume location of the target product specified
above. You only need to specify the product LOCATION if you have
more than one copy of a XYGATE product on the same node and
you want to alert on events from one installation but others.
If only the PRODUCT is selected, then all MOVERs for the specified target product on
all nodes will use the Filter.
In Example 1 below one MOVER paragraph is used to specify the XYGATECM
MOVER. All XCM MOVERs on all nodes will use the Filter.
Example 1: How to specify a MOVER for a specific product
FILTERDEFBEGIN $QA-XYGATEAC
MOVER_BEGIN
MOVER_SELECT_BEGIN
PRODUCT = XYGATECM
MOVER_SELECT_END
In Example 2 below two MOVER paragraphs are used to select CMON events from
two nodes. You would only do this if you wanted to monitor CMON events from some
nodes but not others. Notice that each paragraph includes the SYSTEM criteria and
has its own MOVER_SELECT_BEGIN and MOVER_SELECT_END keywords. There
is a logical ‘ORbetween paragraphs. So if a CMON event happens on \NODE1 or
\WIRE, the Filter would be checked.
Example 2: How to specify a MOVER for just two out of several nodes
FILTERDEFBEGIN $XCM-NODE1-N0DE2
MOVER_BEGIN
MOVER_SELECT_BEGIN
PRODUCT = XYGATECM
SYSTEM = \NODE1
MOVER_SELECT_END
! or
MOVER_SELECT_BEGIN
PRODUCT = XYGATECM
SYSTEM = \WIRE
MOVER_SELECT_END
The Filter in Example 3 below was created to prevent any successful (OUTCOME = 1)
attempts to run XAC commands in the test installation of XAC from being written to the
XMA database (ACTIONTYPE = IGNORE). Only failed commands would be added to
the database. The criterion that makes the test environment unique from the
production environment is the target products LOCATION.
If you do not want any audits from the test installation of XAC at all, then do not create
a MOVER to read that installations audit files.
