Properties and command line options

You use properties to specify how the probe interacts with the device. You can override the default values by using the properties file or the command line options.

The following table describes the properties and command line options specific to this probe. For more information about generic Netcool/OMNIbus properties and command line options, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide.

Table 1. Properties and command line options
Property name	Command line option	Description
CommandPort `integer`	-commandport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port number used by the probe to listen for commands. The default is 6970.
CommandPortLimit `integer`	-commandportlimit `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum number of telnet connections that can be made to the probe. The default is 10.
EnableEndPointFailover `string`	-enableendpointfailover `string`	Use this property to specify failover capability upon connection or reconnection. If enabled and a failover occurs the probe will connect both the JMS and HTTP interfaces to the backup Huawei U2000. false: The probe does not attempt to connect to the backup Huawei U2000 upon failover. true: The probe attempts to connect to the backup Huawei U2000 upon failover. The default is false. Note: If EnableEndPointFailover is set to true, you must configure the following properties: SecondaryResyncHTTP ConnectionURL SecondaryUpdateHTTP ConnectionURL SecondaryTransportType SecondaryTransportFile
EncodingStandard `string`	-encodingstandard `integer`	Use this property to specify the Encoding Standard Default ISO-8859-1 to include the Latin alphabet 1. The default is ISO-8859-1.
HttpConnectionConnect Timeout `integer`	-httpconnectionconnect timeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) following which the HTTP connection will timeout on connect operation. The default is 20.
HttpConnectionRead Timeout `integer`	-httpconnectionreadtimeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) following which the HTTP connection will timeout on read operation. The default is 300. Note: The value of this property should be increased to a value greater than the response time of Huawei U2000 system
HttpPassword `string`	-httppassword `string`	Use this property to specify the password used to authenticate for HTTP operations. The default is password. Note: Huawei U2000 authentication lock-out
HttpUsername `string`	-httpusername `string`	Use this property to specify the username used to authenticate for HTTP operations. The default is username. Note: Huawei U2000 authentication lock-out
Inactivity `integer`	-inactivity `integer`	Use this property to specify the period of inactivity (in seconds) before the probe disconnects. The default is 0.
ProbeKeyStore `string`	-probekeystore `string`	Use this property to specify the path to the keystore file containing the private key and associated certificate for this probe. Note: This property is required only if the remote target system is configured to authenticate SSL clients. The default is "".
ProbeKeyStorePassword `string`	-probekeystorepassword `string`	Use this property to specify the password required to access the keystore file. The default is password.
Resync `string`	-resync (This is equivalent to Resync with a value of true.) -noresync (This is equivalent to Resync with a value of false.)	Use this property to specify whether the probe requests all active alarms from the Huawei U2000 system before connecting to the notification service for new alarms. This property takes the following values: false: The probe does not resynchronise with the target system at startup. true: The probe does resynchronise with the target system at startup. The default is true.
ResyncBatchSize `integer`	-resyncbatchsize `integer`	Use this property to specify the number of alarms to retrieve in each batch of resynchronization alarms. The default is 100. Note: This property controls the query efficiency and its value depends upon the responsiveness of the communication between the probe and Huawei U2000 during resynchronization. The higher the value to which you set the ResyncBatchSize property, the greater the query efficiency; however, the longer it will take to complete each batch. If the probe times out before the resynchronization completes, set this property to a lower value.
ResyncFilterFile `string`	-resyncfilterfile `string`	Use this property to specify the filter used for resynchronization operations. The default is "".
ResyncHTTPConnectionURL `string`	-resynchttpconnectionurl `string`	Use this property to specify the URL of the initial HTTP resynchronization connection. The default is http://127.0.0.1/AlarmRetrieval?getAlarms.
ResyncInterval `integer`	-resyncinterval `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits before resynchronizing with the U2000 system. The default is 0. Note: If no value is specified, the probe will not perform an interval resychronisation with the U2000 system.
Retry `string`	-retry (This is equivalent to Retry with a value of true.) -noretry (This is equivalent to Retry with a value of false.)	Use this property to specify whether the probe attempts to reconnect to the system following a timeout: false: The probe does not attempt to reconnect to the system. true: The probe attempts to reconnect to the system. The default is false.
SecondaryTransportFile `string`	-secondarytransportfile `string`	Use this property to specify the path to the secondary copy of the JMS transport properties file which specifies the JMS connection settings for the secondary Huawei U2000 server. The default is "".
SecondaryTransportType `string`	-secondarytransporttype `string`	Use this property to specify the transport method being used. The default is JMS.
SecondaryResyncHTTP ConnectionURL `string`	-secondaryresync httpconnectionurl `string`	Use this property to specify the HTTP URL of the alarm list resynchronization connection at the secondary Huawei U2000 server. The default is "".
SecondaryUpdateHTTP ConnectionURL `string`	-secondaryupdate httpconnectionurl `string`	Use this property to specify the HTTP URL of the alarm list update connection on the secondary Huawei U2000. The default is "".
SecurityProtocol `string`	-securityprotocol `string`	Use this property to specify which security protocol the probe uses when SSL encryption is enabled. If no value is set for the SecurityProtocol property, the probe uses the default protocol for the JRE. The default is "".
StreamCapture `string`	-streamcapture `string`	Use this property to specify whether or not all output is saved to a file. The default is false.
StreamCaptureFile `string`	-streamcapturefile `string`	Use this property to specify the file to which the output is saved. The default is: $(OMNIHOME)/var/U2000.stream (UNIX). %OMNIHOME%\var\U2000.stream (Windows).
TransformerFile `string`	-transformerfile `string`	Use this property to specify the file that contains the transformer properties. The default is: $(OMNIHOME)/java/conf/transformers.xml (UNIX). %OMNIHOME%\java\conf\transformers.xml (Windows).
TransportFile `string`	-transportfile `string`	Use this property to specify the file that contains the transport properties. The default is $(OMNIHOME)/java/conf/jmsTransport.properties (UNIX) %OMNIHOME%\java\conf\jmsTransport.properties (Windows).
SecondaryTransportType `string`	-secondarytransporttype `string`	Use this property to specify the transport method being used. The default is JMS.
TransportType `string`	-transporttype `string`	Use this property to specify the transport method being used on the secondary Huawei U2000 server.. The default is JMS.
TrustedCertsStore `string`	-trustedcertsstore `string`	Use this property to specify the file path of the truststore file. The default is "".
TrustedCerts StorePassword `string`	-trustedcertsstorepassword `string`	Use this property to specify the password required to access the keystore file containing the trusted certificates. The default is password.
UpdateHTTPConnectionURL `string`	-updatehttpconnection `string`	Use this property to specify the URL of the HTTP connection which is used to update alarms on the U2000 server. The default is http://127.0.0.1/AlarmHandling?updateAlarms.
