12.8.1 System design for linking with JP1/IM - Rule Operation

(2) Notes

(1) Settings for JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage

The following settings are required for linking with JP1/IM - Rule Operation:

Settings for JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage (jcoimdef command)^#

• Enable or disable JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage (-rule option)
• Specify the JP1/IM - Rule Operation host (-rulehost option)
• Specify the execution user (-ruleuser option)
  #: Enabling the linkage function enables the notification condition settings to be exported from JP1/IM - View to JP1/IM - Rule Operation.
  

Condition for notifying JP1/IM - Rule Operation

Set in either of the following:

• Action Parameter Detailed Definitions window
• Automated action definition file (actdef.conf)

Display settings

• Preferences window
• Settings for View Filter window
• Severe Event Definitions window
• Detailed Settings for Event Receiver Filter window

Registration in the Start menu of JP1/IM - View (rule operation viewer)

• jcovrmsetup command

(2) Notes

• In the JP1/IM - Rule Operation notification conditions, specify all the JP1 events that could potentially match a rule startup condition. (Rule startup judgments for notifications from JP1/IM - Manager are performed on the JP1/IM - Rule Operation side.)
• Processing of notifications to JP1/IM - Rule Operation is executed according to the system hierarchy, in the same way as for normal automated actions.
  For this reason, if you want to run JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/IM - Rule Operation on different hosts, you must configure the JP1/IM - Rule Operation host at a level below the JP1/IM - Manager host.
  
• The following problems occur if you enable JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage and set a notification condition, and then disable the function without first deleting the condition settings:
  
  • Automated actions cannot be set from JP1/IM - View.
  • Because the notification conditions in JP1/IM - Manager are still in effect, JP1/IM - Manager will send a rule startup request to JP1/IM - Rule Operation whenever a JP1 event matching a notification condition occurs.
  To prevent such problems, before you disable the linkage function, delete the condition settings for notifying JP1/IM - Rule Operation from JP1/IM - View, or open the automated action definition file (actdef.conf) and delete the automated action definition parameter for JP1/IM - Rule Operation linkage. For details about the automated action definition file (actdef.conf), see Automated action definition file (actdef.conf) in 2. Definition Files in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.
  
• JP1/IM - Rule Operation issues a JP1 event whenever a rule starts, finishes, or ends abnormally, for example. If you want to monitor such JP1 events in JP1/IM, change the filter settings so that they can be forwarded and displayed in JP1/IM - View.
