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
AgentHeartBeat `integer`	-agentheartbeat `integer`	Use this property to specify the frequency (in seconds) with which the probe checks the status of the host server. The default is 60.
CommandPort `integer`	-commandport `integer`	Use this property to specify a port through which you can send commands to the probe using the probe's CLI. The default is 6970.
CommandPortLimit `integer`	-commandportlimit `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum number of CLI connections that you can have open at one time. The default is 10.
DataBackupFile `string`	-databackupfile `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the probe's data backup file. The default is $OMNIHOME/var/zte_e300.bak.
EncodingTo `string`	-encodingto `string`	Use this property to specify the character set used to display data received from the ZTE system. The default is ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1). Note: When the ZTE system is using Chinese language settings, you must specify the following value for this property: GB18030. The probe creates an additional token called `VendorProbableCause_ GB18030` to contain the original value. When the ZTE T3 or U31 system is using Chinese language settings, you must specify the following value for this property: GBK. This will enable the tokens Description and vendorProbablecause to displays Chinese characters. You must also have set the environment for OMNIbus and the probe to be GBK as well: `export LANG=zh_CN.GBK` `export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GBK`
Inactivity `integer`	-inactivity `integer`	Use this property to specify the length of time (in seconds) that the probe allows the port to be inactive before disconnecting. The default is 0 (which instructs the probe to not disconnect during periods of inactivity).
NamingContextPath `string`	-nspath `string`	Use this property to specify the name used to register the object in the Naming Service. The default is "".
NotificationFilter `string`	-notificationfilter `string`	Use this property to specify the filter to use when subscribing for notifications. For example: `$type_name == 'NT_ALARM'` The default is "".
NSIORFile `string`	-nsior `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the IOR file for the root context of the Naming Service. The default is "".
ObjectIORFile `string`	-objectiorfile `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the IOR file used by the probe to acquire the object reference. The default is "".
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.
ORBDebug `string`	-orbdebug `string`	Use this property to specify whether the probe writes ORB messages to a debug log file. This property takes the following values: false: The probe does not write ORB messages to a debug file. true: The probe writes ORB messages to a debug file. The default is false.
ORBDebugFile `string`	-orbdebugfile `string`	Use this property to specify the location of the ORB debug file. The default is $OMNIHOME/log/orb.debug.
ORBInitialHost `string`	-orbinitialhost `string`	Use this property to specify the host name of the Naming Service server. The default is "".
ORBInitialPort `integer`	-orbinitialport `integer`	Use this property to specify the port number through which to connect to the Naming Service host. The default is 1570.
ORBLocalHost `string`	-orblocalhost `string`	Use this property to specify the local host 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 Object Request Broker (ORB) listens for connections from the probe. 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
Password `string`	-password `string`	Use this property to specify the password of the user account used to connect to the ZTE system. The default is "".
Resync `string`	-resync `string`	Use this property to specify whether the probe requests all active alarms from the host server on startup. This property takes the following values: false: The probe does not request resynchronization on startup. true: The probe requests resynchronization on startup. The default is true.
ResyncInterval `integer`	-resyncinterval `integer`	Use this property to specify the interval (in seconds) at which the probe makes successive resynchronization requests. The default is 0 (which instructs the probe to not make successive resynchronization requests).
ResyncBatchSize `integer`	-resyncbatchsize `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum number of alarms retrieved in each batch of resynchronization alarms. The default is 100.
ResyncProbableCause Filter `string`	-resyncpbcausefilter `string`	This property works differently depending on whether the probe is connecting to a ZTE E300, ZTE T3, or ZTE U31 R10 system. For the ZTE E300 system, use this property to specify a list of probable causes that the probe excludes when resynchronizing with the CORBA interface. For the ZTE T3 system, use this property to specify a list of probable causes that the probe includes when resynchronizing with the CORBA interface. For the ZTE U31 R10 system, use this property to specify a list of probable causes that the probe includes when resynchronizing with the CORBA interface. For each system, separate each cause in the list with a semicolon when specifying the value of the property. For example: pbCause1;pbCause2;pbCause3 The default is "".
ResyncSeverityFilter `string`	-resyncseverityfilter `string`	This property works differently depending on whether the probe is connecting to a ZTE E300, ZTE T3, or ZTE U31 R10 system. For the ZTE E300 system, use this property to specify a list of severities that the probe excludes when resynchronizing with the CORBA interface. For the ZTE T3 system, use this property to specify the list of severities that the probe includes when resynchronizing with the CORBA interface. For the ZTE U31 R10 system, use this property to specify a list of severities that the probe includes when resynchronizing with the CORBA interface. For each system, separate each severity in the list with a semicolon when specifying the value of the property. For example, to receive only critical and major events, specify the following value: PS_CRITICAL;PS_MAJOR This property takes any combination of the following severities as its value: PS_INDETERMINATE PS_CRITICAL PS_MAJOR PS_MINOR PS_WARNING PS_CLEARED The default is "".
RetryMaxTime `integer`	-retrymaxtime `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum length of time (in seconds) that the probe makes reconnection attempts to the target system. If you set this property to 0, the probe makes reconnection attempts indefinitely. The default is 9000.
RetryConstantWait `integer`	-retryconstantwait `integer`	Use this property to specify the length of time (in seconds) that the probe waits between successive connection attempts to the target system. The default is 0 (which instructs the probe to use an exponentially increasing period between successive connection attempts, for example, the probe will wait for 1 second, then 2 seconds, then 4 seconds, and so forth).
Username `string`	-username `string`	Use this property to specify the user name of the user account used to connect to the ZTE system. The default is ""
