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).

Table 1. Properties and command line options

The default is /opt/nortel/config/3gpp/ior/ALUSecurityIrpAgent.ior.

ClearSystemId string

-clearsystemid string

Use this property to specify the processing system on which the IRP manager runs. This is used by the userid_clear_alarm CLI function.

The default is "".

ClearUserId string

-clearuserid string

Use this property to specify the name of the user acknowledging the alarm. This is used by the user_clear_alarm CLI function.

The default is "".

CommandPort integer

-commandpor integer

Use this property to specify the port to which users can telnet to communicate with the 3GPP interface using the CLI supplied with the probe. For details about the CLI, see Command line interface.

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.

EntryPointIrpName string

-entrypointirpname string

Use this property to specify the name used to resolve the entry point IRP in the Naming Service.

The default is 32.363 V6.3.

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).

FtpPassword string

-ftppassword string

Use this property to specify the password required to access the ALU Security IRP IOR file via FTP.

The default is "".

Note: The password must be encrypted using the nco_aes_crypt utility. For details about this utility, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Administration Guide (SC14-7605).

NotificationCategories string

-notification categories string

Use this property to specify the notification categories to which the probe subscribes. If the probe subscribes to more than one category, group the categories, and separate each category by a semi-colon, and place the list within quotation marks.

The default is "" (subscribes to all the notification categories).

NotificationFilter string

-notificationfilter string

Use this property to specify the filter 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.

The default is 32.303 V6.4.

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.

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 (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.

Password string

-password string

Use this property to specify the password required by the ALU Security Building Block to provide the object reference to the Entry Point IRP.

The default is "".

Note: The password must be encrypted using the nco_aes_crypt utility. For details about this utility, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Administration Guide (SC14-7605).

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 alarms collected in the system at the timeout period:

false: The probe does not resynchronize the alarms.

true: The probe attempts to resynchronize the alarms.

The default is false.

Retry string

-noretry (This is equivalent to Retry with a value of false.)

-retry (This is equivalent to Retry with a value of true.)

Use this property to specify whether the probe attempts to reconnect to the system following a timeout:

false: The probe does not reconnect to the system.

true: The probe attempts to reconnect to the system.

The default is false.
