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 information about default properties and command line options, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide (SC14-7608).

InstanceId `string`	-instanceid `string`	Use this property to specify a unique identifier for the instance of the probe. This property allows you to run multiple instances of the probe on the same machine. The default is "".
Mode `string`	-mode `string`	Use this property to specify the role of an instance of the probe in a peer-to-peer failover relationship. This property takes the following values: master: The instance is the master probe. slave: The instance is the slave probe. standard: There is no failover relationship. The default is standard.
NamingServiceIOR Request `string`	-namingserviceiorrequest `string`	Use this property to specify the command that the probe uses to upload the CORBA Naming Service IOR. The default is GET /cgi-bin /get_nbif_ior.
NamingServiceHost `string`	-namingservicehost `string`	Use this property to specify the host running the CORBA Naming Service. The default is localhost.
NamingServicePort `integer`	-namingserviceport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port on which the CORBA Naming Service listens. The default is 5001.
NetActServerName `string`	-netactservername `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the Nokia-Siemens NetAct server to which the probe connects to retrieve the Naming Context IOR file. The default is "".
NetActServerPort `integer`	-netactserverport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port on the Nokia-Siemens NetAct server through which the probe connects to retrieve the Naming Context IOR file. The default is 10115.
Notification Categories `string`	-notificationcategories `string`	Use this property to specify the notification categories that the probe subscribes to. The default is "" (the probe subscribes to all categories). Note: To specify multiple categories, separate them using semicolons, in the following format: `category1; category2; categoryn` For example, to subscribe to the alarms and heartbeat events, use the following value: `ALARM IRP V1.0.0; CS IRP V1.0.0`
NotificationFilter `string`	-notificationfilter `string`	Use this property to specify the filter that the Notification IRP uses to limit the notifications sent to the probe. The default is "".
NotificationIrpName `string`	-notificationirpname `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the Notification IRP Agent used by the Naming Service. The default is 32.303 V6.1. Note: The value of this property can differ between NetAct systems. For example, it might take the following format: NokiaNetact3gppv6NotificationIRP
ORBCharEncoding `string`	-orbcharencoding `string`	Use this property to specify the native character encoding set used by the Object Request Broker (ORB) for character data. The default is UTF8. This property can also take the value ISO8859_1.
ORBLocalHostName `string`	-orblocalhostname `string`	Use this property to specify the local host name used by the server-side ORB to place the server's host name into the IOR of a remote object. The default is "".
ORBLocalPort `integer`	-orblocalport `integer`	Use this property to specify the local port to which the ORB listens. The default is 0 (the ORB selects an available port at random).
ORBWCharDefault `string`	-orbwchardefault `string`	Use this property to specify what wide character (wchar) set the IBM ORB uses when communicating with other ORBs that do not publish a wchar set. The default is UTF16. This property can also take the value UCS2.

Resynch `string`	-resynch (This is equivalent to Resynch with a value of true.) -noresynch (This is equivalent to Resynch with a value of false.)	Use this property to specify whether the probe requests all active alarms from the Nokia-Siemens NetAct system before connecting to the notification service for new alarms. This property takes the following values: false: The probe does not perform resynchronization. true: The probe performs resynchronization at startup. The default is false.
Retry `string`	-retry `string`	Use this property to specify whether the probe attempts to reconnect to the Nokia-Siemens NetAct system following a timeout. This property takes the following values: false: The probe does not attempt to reconnect to the system true: The probe attempts to reconnect to the system The default is false.
