Code

Explanation

 

 

SELECT

A match occurs when any message arriving

ATTR(=,$MSG), VALUE(PREFIX,"Job");

with the Class=AS400_MSG, where the first

part of the message field equals Job.

 

 

 

SELECT

A match occurs when the message field

ATTR(=,$MSG), VALUE(CONTAINS,"for User");

contains for User anywhere within the

message text.

 

 

 

SELECT

In order to match, the end of the message field

ATTR(=,$MSG), VALUE(SUFFIX,"You must investigate.");

must be the text You must investigate. The

case of the message must be exactly as shown

 

 

in the example.

 

 

FETCH

This part of the FETCH statement pulls

SUBSTR($MSG,4,8)

characters from the message field. It starts at

character 5, because it is zero-based. It pulls a

SUBSTR($MSG,22,8)

total of eight characters. For example, the

 

 

message is Job 12345678 for User stephens

 

has stopped. You must investigate. The

 

statement pulls 12345678 for the first line of the

 

FETCH statement. The second line pulls the

 

text stephens.

 

 

MAP

The severity attribute is set to CRITICAL. It

$severity = CRITICAL;

prints using the two items that were pulled

with the FETCH statement.

$msg = PRINTF("Job %s for user %s is on message wait", $F1, $F2);

 

 

 

Class Definition Statement File Details

For each class of event supported by an adapter, one or more class definition statements are present in the CDS file. These statements define which incoming event maps to a particular class and how the attributes of the formatted event instance going to the event server are filled with values. The class definition statements are described as follows:

SELECT

Specifies the criteria an incoming event must satisfy to match a class.

FETCH

Retrieves data from the incoming event that is necessary to fill the attribute values.

MAP Specifies how to fill attribute values for an event instance from data retrieved by FETCH statements.

Class definition statements are evaluated in the order they appear in the CDS file. An incoming event is mapped to the class specified by the first class definition statement whose SELECT statement is evaluated successfully.

When more than one class definition statement is provided for a particular class of event, the class definition statement with the most restrictive SELECT statement is placed before the less restrictive statements in the CDS file. Locating the most restrictive class definition statement first for a same-named class provides for better performance of the adapter.
