From the Situation editor EIF tab, you can create
map definitions for situation events sent to the EIF receiver. The
EIF Slot Customization window, which is opened from the EIF tab,
is used to customize how situation events are mapped to forwarded
EIF events, thus overriding the default mapping between situation
events and events forwarded to the Tivoli Enterprise Console Event Server.
When the Base Slot name is
msg,
the Literal value column is used for the message template. The message
template consists of fix message text and variable substitution references,
or
symbols. The symbol can refer to common or event slot data
or a special reference to the situation formula. Common slots are
those that are included in all forwarded events, such as situation_name;
event slots are those specific to the situation. The following syntax
rules apply when setting event slots:
- For an event slot, use the fully qualified attribute name ($Attribute_Table.Attribute_Name$)
- For a common slot, use the variable name that is not fully qualified
(no . periods) unless it is the situation symbol
- For a situation formula, use $formula$
These characters are not supported: < less than, >
greater than, " quotation mark, ' single quotation mark, and &
ampersand. This column is available only if no value is selected in
the Mapped attribute column. See the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online
help or the
Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal User's Guide for more
information.
For the
msg slot, typical users specify
a Literal value, not a Mapped attribute value. If a value is specified
in the Mapped attribute column for the
msg slot,
the following occurs:
- If Map all attributes is not selected,
then the Mapped attribute for the msg will
not be present in the event, and will be ignored.
- If Map all attributes is selected, then
the Tivoli Enterprise Console event will only have the default message
template and not the Mapped attribute specified in the msg slot.
