Properties and 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
AgentHeartbeat `integer`	-agentheartbeat `integer`	Use this property to specify the frequency (in seconds) with which the probe checks the status of the IRP agent. The default is 60.
AlarmFilter `string`	-alarmfilter `string`	Use this property to specify the filter that the alarm IRP uses to limit the alarms sent to the probe. The default is "".
AlarmIrpFile `string`	-alarmirpfile `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the file that contains the IOR of the `AlarmIRP` object. The default is "".
AlarmIrpName `string`	-alarmirpname `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the Alarm IRP Agent used by the Naming Service. The default is OMC/3GPP/EntryPoint/DC=ALCATEL\.COM,SubNetwork=1,ManagementNode=01, IRPAgent=1/32\.111 V5\.5/iRPReference.
CommandPort `integer`	-commandport `string`	Use this property to specify the port through which you will send commands using the CLI. The default is 6970.
CommandPortLimit `integer`	-commandportlimit `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum number of concurrent Telnet connections that the probe can make using the command port. The default is 10.
FlushBufferInterval `integer`	-flushbufferinterval `integer`	Use this property to specify how often (in seconds) the probe flushes all alerts in the buffer to the ObjectServer. The default is 0 (which instructs the probe to never flush the alerts to the ObjectServer).
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.
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 "".
NotificationIrpFile `string`	-notificationirpfile `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the file that contains the IOR of the `NotificationIRP` object. 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 OMC/3GPP/EntryPoint/DC=ALCATEL\.COM,SubNetwork=1,ManagementNode=01, IRPAgent=1/32\.303 V5\.2/iRPReference.
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`	-noresynch (This is equivalent to Resynch with a value of false.) -resynch (This is equivalent to Resynch with a value of true.)	Use this property to specify whether the probe attempts to resynchronize existing alarms before retrieving new alarms. This property takes the following values: false : The probe does not attempt to resynchronize the alarms. true : The probe attempts to resynchronize the alarms. The default is false.
ResyncPeriod `integer`	-resyncperiod `integer`	Use this property to specify the number seconds prior to the current time to set the NV_EVENT_TIME in the AlarmFilter. The default is "". Note: The probe ignores this property if a time filter is already specified in the AlarmFilter.
ResyncTimeOperator `string`	-resynctimeoperator `string`	Use this property to specify the assignment operator for building the time filter. The default is > Note: The probe ignores this property if a time filter is already specified in the AlarmFilter.
TimeFilterFormat `string`	-timefilterformat `string`	Use this property to specify the format of the time filter format required by the NV_EVENT_TIME filter. The default is "". Note: The probe ignores this property if a time filter is already specified in the AlarmFilter.
Retry `string`	-retry (equivalent to Retry with a value of true) -noretry(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.
Timeout `integer`	-timeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) the probe waits to receive events before disconnecting from the notification service and shutting down. The default is 0 (the probe never times out).
TimeTick `integer`	-timetick `integer`	Use this property to specify the length (in minutes) of the notification IRP session lifetime; this is used by the3GPP server. The default is -1.
