Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide
JP1/Base can forward the JP1 events generated at each host to another host at a higher level in the system configuration as defined in JP1/IM - Manager. You can also specify that only the important JP1 events, such as failure notification and warning information, be forwarded.
You use a forwarding settings file (forward) to define the conditions (event filter) for JP1 events to be forwarded to a higher-level host. By default, the forwarding settings file transfers all important JP1 events to an upper management server, according to the server hierarchy defined in JP1/IM - Manager.
The following figure shows an example of forwarding JP1 events from agents to submanagers, and from submanagers to the manager host.
Figure 1-8 Example of forwarding JP1 events using an event filter
JP1/IM - View enables you to view the JP1 events forwarded to the manager host. You can log in from JP1/IM - View to the manager host and view the forwarded JP1 events to monitor the status of the entire system. You can also perform an automated action for recovery in response to a JP1 event indicating a failure.
- Resending JP1 events
- If forwarding of a JP1 event fails due to a temporary network error or shutdown of the event service at the higher-level host, JP1/Base will retry forwarding by default. You can specify the retry interval and time limit in the event server settings file (conf).
