IBM Enterprise Console manual Internationalization Support for Events

The following figure shows an example of the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product and Tivoli Management Framework component relationships in a network with endpoints.

How Events Get to the Event Server From a Managed Node

For network management OpenView adapters, events are sent from the managed node adapter directly to the event server using a TME interface. In other words, the oserv of the managed node that the adapter runs on sends the event to the oserv of the event server when these are separate nodes, which then forwards it on to the event server process.

For the UNIX log file, OS/2, Windows, Windows NT, and SNMP TME adapters, a managed node must also be configured as an endpoint to send events to the event server.

How Events Get to the Event Server From a Non-TME Adapter

A non-TME adapter sends events directly to the event server using an IP socket.

Internationalization Support for Events

By default, the following log file adapters send their events to the event server in UTF-8 encoding:

vUNIX log file adapter

vNetWare log file adapter

vOS/2 log file adapter

vWindows event log adapter

vWindows NT event log adapter

To change the default configuration of these adapters so they send events in the encoding of the event server host instead of UTF-8, the Pre37Server and Pre37ServerEncoding configuration file options are provided. See page 12 for additional information about these options.
