Initial Files

Each adapter comes with an initial set of files that provides out-of-the-box support for a predefined set of events. The set of files is composed of the following files:

vBAROC file

vCDS file

vFor the adapters on NetWare, OS/2, UNIX, Windows, and Windows NT: format file

By modifying these files, a system administrator can add, modify, and specialize classes of events.

The number of different events an adapter can receive is infinite. Therefore, the major objective of the initial files provided with an adapter is not to be exhaustive, but essentially to support the most common type of events handled by this adapter (for example, SNMP generic traps), as well as to provide enough examples to the system administrator on which to build new event definitions.

The initial supported events for the adapters are described in each adapter chapter later in this guide.
