Chapter 6. OS/2 Adapter

The IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console adapter for OS/2 forwards events from an OS/2 system to the event server. The adapter is registered with the startup configuration of OS/2 so that the adapter is started with all the other applications that are automatically started when OS/2 is started.

The adapter is an OS/2 process that reads events generated by an OS/2 system and forwards them to an event server for further processing.

OS/2 events are gathered from the First Failure Support Technology™ (FFST™) system, and from ASCII log files residing on the OS/2 system. The adapter translates a certain type of FFST events into IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console events and sends them to the event server. There are three types of FFST events: DET1, DET2, and DET4. DET1 events represent error conditions and are the only type sent to the event server. Entries in the ASCII log files are formatted according to the format file.

This chapter describes how to configure and start the OS/2 adapter.

The OS/2 adapter package consists of the following files:

readme The readme file.

tecadcfg.cmd The startup configuration script.

tecadini.sh The script to start or stop the adapter.

tecadrm.sh The TME adapter uninstall script.

tec_uninstal.cmd

The non-TME adapter uninstall batch file.

install.exe	The adapter installation assist executable file.

LogSources
