A configuration file and a filter file reside on each MCP host system and contain information that helps control operation of the interface between the Operations Sentinel server and the MCP host system. Default copies of these files are included with the interface software. See Section 3. You can use the default values or you can change these files to meet your specific needs.
The configuration file contains the following parameters that control operation of the interface software:
Port number on the MCP host system
Time interval between utilization messages sent to the Operations Sentinel server
Name of the filter file
Usercode used for remote ODT terminal emulation
Security options
ADM display sequence for ODT windows on Operations Sentinel
The filter file contains a list of the Major,Minor types of entries (messages) that are to be sent to Operations Sentinel at the same time they are sent to the host system log. This enables you to display system event data and perform automation control in real time.
See Section 3 for information on the configuration file, and for information on the filter file.
