IBM Enterprise Console AdapterCdsFile=path, AdapterErrorFile=path, BufEvtMaxSize, BufEvtPath

Some adapters have additional keywords specific to them. See each specific adapter chapter for descriptions of these keywords. Adapters do not issue error messages for misspelled keywords or keywords set to a value that is not valid. Do not use blank spaces in keyword statements unless enclosed in single quotation marks (however, you cannot use quotation marks at all with the HPOVFilter keyword in the HPOV adapter). Do not use class names not defined in a BAROC file with configuration options.

A configuration file can contain the following keywords, which are common to most adapters:

AdapterCdsFile=path

Specifies the full path name of the CDS file. This keyword is required if the CDS file is not in the same directory as the configuration file.

AdapterErrorFile=path

Specifies the full path name of the error file. This keyword is required if the error file is not in the same directory as the configuration file.

BufEvtMaxSize

Specifies the maximum size, in kilobytes, of the adapter cache file. The default value is 64. The cache file stores events on disk when they cannot be sent to the event server.

The BufEvtMaxSize keyword is optional.

BufEvtPath

Specifies the full path name of the adapter cache file. On endpoint adapters, the BufEvtPath keyword uses the $TIVOLIHOME variable to resolve file location and drive letter differences over different environments by using a path relative to the endpoint installation. The ACF defines $TIVOLIHOME on each endpoint; you cannot change its value.

Operating System	Default Path	$TIVOLIHOME Value
UNIX	$TIVOLIHOME/tec/	/etc/Tivoli
	tecad_adapter.cache
Windows, Windows	$TIVOLIHOME\tec\	%SystemRoot%\system32\
NT	tecad_adapter.cache	drivers\etc\Tivoli

The AS/400® adapters do not use this keyword.

This keyword is required when the BufferEvents keyword is set to YES.

BufferEvents

Specifies whether or not event caching is enabled. If BufferEvents is set to anything other than YES, events are not cached. The value is not case-sensitive. The default value is YES.

The BufferEvents keyword is optional.

BufferFlushRate

Specifies the number of events sent per minute. Once the adapter has recovered the lost connection, and there are events in the buffer, the events are sent at this rate per minute. The default value is zero (0); all events are sent in one burst.

The BufferFlushRate keyword is optional.

ConnectionMode

Specifies the connection mode to use to connect to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console gateway or event server. Valid values are
