IBM Enterprise Console manual Adapter Files, v datereception v eventhandle v serverhandle

Attribute Name	Contents
status	The status of an event. It is initially set to OPEN or to a default
	value specified by the event class. Possible values during an event
	lifetime are as follows:
	ACK	An administrator or rule has acknowledged the event.
	CLOSED
		An administrator or rule has fixed the problem that was
		reported by the event. An event adapter can also send an
		event with a status of CLOSED to indicate that a
		previously received event of the specified class should
		have its status changed to CLOSED; the previously
		received event to be closed is the most recent duplicate of
		the same event. The event being sent with a CLOSED
		status is dropped and not stored in the event database.
	custom_status
		A status that has been added to the STATUS enumeration
		for site-specific purposes. The STATUS enumeration is
		defined in the root.baroc file. To add a new status, edit this
		file, recompile the rule base, and restart the event server.
	OPEN	The event has been received by the event server, but no
		administrator or rule has acknowledged it.
	RESPONSE
		A rule has automatically responded to the event. This
		status is assigned a rule language predicate. It is not
		available from an event console.
	The database stores the status as a number. This mapping is defined
	in the root.baroc rule base file and is set for the event server default
	status as follows: zero (0) for OPEN, 10 for RESPONSE, 20 for ACK,
	30 for CLOSED.
sub_origin	A further categorization of the origin. This attribute is optional.
sub_source	A further categorization of the source. This attribute is optional.

The adapter uses the following attributes to uniquely identify an event:

vdate_reception

vevent_handle

vserver_handle

Adapter Files

An adapter uses various files for its operations. The following table provides a brief description of the types of files that can be used. Subsequent sections discuss some of the more common files you might need to view or modify for configuration or troubleshooting purposes. See Appendix A, “Files Shipped with Adapters” on page 141 for detailed information about which files are shipped with particular adapters.

File Type	Description
Basic recorder of objects in C	Defines event classes to the event server; must be
(BAROC)	part of the rule base.
Cache	Stores buffered events.
Class definition statement (CDS)	Defines event class definitions to the adapter.
