IBM Enterprise Console manual The default value is @EventServer

The default value is @EventServer.

You can specify multiple server names as a comma-delimited list. Server names later in the list can be backups for times when the gateway cannot contact its primary server for an event and the RetryInterval has expired without successfully contacting the primary server. You can specify a host name as you would for a non-TME adapter, and the events are then forwarded to that host using the non-TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility. For more details, see the examples in the ServerPort description.

When the gateway cannot contact the adapter-specified event server, the server names specified in the list are backups. If ServerLocation is not present in the gateway configuration file, the backup functionality uses the default @EventServer value.

To prevent event delivery to backup servers, set the

ServerLocation keyword to NONE.

ServerPort Specifies the port for the event server when sending events using the non-TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility. This keyword is ignored if you are not using the non-TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility.

The default value is zero (0). A value of zero tells the non-TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility to contact the portmapper on the specified host to determine where the event server is listening for incoming event. Note that if you are forwarding events to a Tivoli Availability Intermediate Manager, you cannot specify zero (0) as the port because the Tivoli Availability Intermediate Manager does not register itself with the portmapper.

If you specify a value for ServerPort, the value must be either one integer value or a comma-delimited list containing the same number of values as the list of event servers specified in ServerLocation. You can use one integer value to apply to all of the event servers listed in ServerLocation; otherwise, each event server in ServerLocation requires a corresponding value in ServerPort.

The following example shows how to specify multiple server names to use backup servers in case the primary server fails to receive events. Suppose you have a Tivoli Availability Intermediate Manager running on hosts aim.xyz.com and aimbkup.xyz.com, and ServerLocation and ServerPort are specified as follows:

ServerLocation=aim.xyz.com,aimbkup.xyz.com,@EventServer

ServerPort=5530,5531,0

This sends events to port 5530 on the host aim.xyz.com using the non-TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility. If that fails, events are sent to port 5531 on the host aimbkup.xyz.com. If that also fails, events are sent directly to the event server using the TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility. The port value of zero (0) specified for @EventServer is ignored because port numbers are not needed with the TME Tivoli Event Integration Facility.
