against a format description. A formatted error message from the Windows NT service control manager can look like the following example:

Jan 15 15:06:19 1998 0 Error N/A Service_Control_Manager 7024 \

The UPS service terminated with service-specific error 2481.

For details about format files, see “Format File” on page 17 and Appendix B, “Format File Reference” on page 145.

Non-English Format Files

Translated format files are provided for the following languages: German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. These format files are located in the de, es, ja, ko, and pt_Br subdirectories of the TME/TEC/samples/adapter_format_files directory. Use these files as a starting point for creating language-specific format files. For other supported languages, the default format file is the English version.

Registry Variables

Registry variables are used to control the operation of the Windows NT event log adapter. Changes made to registry variables take effect immediately; there is no need to stop and restart the adapter. Use the registry editor (regedt32) provided by Windows NT to view and modify registry variables.

Note: It is not necessary to modify the registry variables for the Windows NT event log adapter to function. The registry variables are automatically set to the correct default values when the Windows NT event log adapter is installed.

All of the registry variables for the Windows NT event log adapter are located in the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\TECNTAdapter directory. The following are the adapter registry variables:

Note: When you change the registry entries for any registry variable with a name ending with EventsProcessedTimeStamp, you must also change the registry entries for the corresponding registry variable with a name ending with EventsProcessed. For example, if you change the registry entry for ApplicationEventsProcessedTimeStamp, you must also change ApplicationEventsProcessed. This also applies to SecurityEventsProcessedTimeStamp and SecurityEventsProcessed, and SystemEventsProcessedTimeStamp and SystemEventsProcessed.

If both values are not changed, the adapter ends unexpectedly, the PollingInterval criteria are met, and a message similar to the following is sent:

msg=’TECNTAdapter shuts down.Error: older event on \

ApplicationEventsProcessed : (1,920433843) vs last processed \ event(1,923673952).’;

To prevent this, stop the adapter and then make the necessary registry changes. When you restart the adapter, a consistency check updates the registry entry for the appropriate variable ending with EventsProcessed to match the correct value based on the corresponding variable ending with EventsProcessedTimeStamp.

ApplicationEventsProcessed

Contains the highest event number in the Windows NT Application Log
