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
AckSystemId `string`	-acksystemid `string`	Use this property to specify the system identifier to use when acknowledging alarms using the CLI. The default is "". Note: You must provide the system ID of the processing system instead of the default null value.
Agentheartbeat `integer`	-agentheartbeat `integer`	Use this property to specify the frequency (in seconds) with which the probe checks the status of the ZTE system. The default is 300.
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 "".
AlarmObjectName `string`	-alarmobjectname `string`	Use this property to specify the name that the probe uses to resolve the Alarm IRP object in the Naming Service. The default is alarm.
ClearSystemId `string`	-clearsystemid `string`	Use this property to specify the system identifier to use when clearing alarms using the CLI. The default is "".
CommandPort `integer`	-commandport `integer`	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 Telnet connections that the probe can make using the command port. The default is 10.
CommentSystemId `string`	-commentsystemid `string`	Use this property to specify the system identifier to use when adding comments to an alarm using the CLI. The default is "".
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 (the probe does not flush alerts to the ObjectServer).
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 "".
NotificationObjectName `string`	-notificationobjectname `string`	Use this property to specify the name that the probe uses to resolve the Notification IRP object in the Naming Service. The default is NOTIFICATIONIRP.
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.
ORBLocalHost `string`	-orblocalhost `string`	Use this property to specify the host name or IP address of the local ORB host. The default is "".
ORBLocalPort `integer`	-orblocalport `integer`	Use this property to specify the local port to which the ORB listens. The default is 0 (which instructs the ORB to select 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.
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 ZTE 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. The default is false.
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 ZTE 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.
ServiceObjectStringRef `string`	-serviceobjectstringref `string`	Use this property to specify the string reference of the `ServiceMng` object registered with the Naming Service. The default is corbaname:iiop: `NamingServiceHost`: `NamingServicePort`/StandardImplName/Naming/root#service, where `NamingServiceHost` is the IP address of the Naming Service host and `NamingServicePort` is the port number on which the Naming Service listens for connections.
Timeout `integer`	-timeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time period (in seconds) that the probe waits for the next alarm before disconnecting. The default is 0 (the session remains open indefinitely).
