Chapter 3. Configuring Filters and the FILTERS File
XYPRO Technology Corporation 70 Proprietary and Confidential
3.3.8 Step 8. Test Your Alerts
You can test to be sure that you have your EMS parameters, EMAIL parameters,
SYSLOG parameters, and SNMP_TRAP parameters configured correctly. If the
parameters are correct, XMA will send an “XMA Test Message” to the appropriate
outlet.
XMA_MANAGER, Movers Management Menu, option 16: Test basic Alerts
(page 101) will let you fill in the appropriate parameters and generate a test message.
3.4 Variable Substitution Processing in the FILTERS File
The use of substitution variables is now available within the FILTERS file. This feature
allows you to simplify FILTERS file maintenance by providing the means to specify
common values in one place. There are three different options available:
• Text String (#define)
• #include
• #define_begin ... #define_end
3.4.1 The Text String Format
The Text String format has a number of uses. Information such as IP addresses are
repeated in many Filter Definitions. If this value has to be changed, having a single
Definition makes maintenance much simpler and less error-prone.
Syntax:
#DEFINE ^<variable name> <value>
Where:
^<variable name>
Refer to section 3.4.4, “General Processing Rules” below.
<value>
• Is a text string of up to 200-characters on one line.
• Can contain Data Substitution Tokens.
• Can contain filter keywords.
Example:
#DEFINE ^SEIM_IPADDR 127.0.0.1
In the Example below a common status is being configured. Changing the value
assigned to the variable ^SFG_ALERT_STATUS allows one or more Filter Definitions to
be turned off from a central location.
Example:
#DEFINE ^SFG_ALERT_STATUS ACTIVE
