2.10 Severe Event Definitions window

The Severe Event Definitions window is used to define which JP1 events are severe events. That is, it is used to specify severe event filter settings. To define severe events, the user must have JP1_Console_Admin permission. The Severe Event Definitions window is displayed when the user chooses Options from the menu bar of the Event Console window and then Severe Event Definitions. This window is not available in Web-based JP1/IM - View.

When the user sets filter conditions and clicks the OK button in this window, the filter conditions are converted into a filter condition statement and the statement takes effect immediately. The maximum length of the statement is 64 KB. If the filter condition statement is longer than the maximum length, an error dialog box displaying the message KAVB0246-E appears when the OK button is clicked. If the error dialog box appears, the filter condition settings must be reviewed. For details about how to estimate the length of a filter condition statement, see the Release Notes for JP1/IM - View.

If no conditions (items under Conditions) have been specified for one or more of the pass-conditions groups set in this window, all JP1 events will be displayed (acquired). On the other hand, if no conditions (items under Conditions) have been specified for one or more of the exclusion-conditions groups set in this window, no JP1 events will be displayed (acquired). At least one condition must be specified for each condition group in order to filter events.

When the integrated monitoring database is used, if the user changes the definition of severe events, an event reporting the changes made to the definition of severe events (3F15) is issued.

The following figure shows an example of the Severe Event Definitions window.

The following describes the items displayed in the Severe Event Definitions window.

The user can set a condition by selecting a check box and specifying a value.

Show List (or Hide List)

Clicking the Show List button displays the list of condition groups. When the list is displayed, the button changes to the Hide List button, which, if clicked, hides the list.

Pass-conditions groups

This area displays the pass-conditions groups. If the user selects a condition group from the list, the name of the selected group is displayed in the Condition group name area, and the condition settings are displayed in the Conditions area. The user can edit these condition settings.

A maximum of 30 condition groups can be set. When 30 condition groups have been specified, the Add and Copy buttons are disabled.

Exclusion-conditions groups

This area displays the exclusion-conditions groups. If the user selects a condition group from the list, the name of the selected condition group is displayed in the Condition group name area, and the condition settings are displayed in the Conditions area. The user can edit these condition settings.

A maximum of 30 condition groups can be set. When 30 condition groups have been specified, the Add and Copy buttons are disabled.

Add

Clicking this button adds a new condition group. For pass-conditions groups, the default name Condition group n (n is a number) is assigned to the new pass-condition group that is added. For exclusion-conditions groups, the default name Exclusion-condition group n (n is a number) is assigned to the new exclusion-conditions group that is added. Each time a new condition group is added, the focus moves to the text box in the Condition group name area so that the user can assign a name.

Copy

Clicking this button copies the selected condition group. When the user selects a condition group and clicks this button, a new condition group in which the same conditions as those defined in the selected condition group is created. The new condition group that is created is assigned the default name Copy original-condition-group-name, and is added to the list of condition groups. After creating a copy of a condition group, if the user creates another copy of the same condition group, a number is added after the string Copy in CopyN original-condition-group-name (N is a number). The first number used is 2, which is incremented each time the same condition group is copied. Note that, each time a new condition group is added to the list, the focus moves to the text box in the Condition group name area so that the user can assign a name.

Delete

Clicking this button deletes the selected condition group. When this button is clicked, a message dialog box displaying the following message appears:

KAVB0257-I Are you sure you want to delete this condition group?

Clicking the Yes button in the message dialog box deletes the selected condition group.

Condition group name

This box is used to specify the name of a condition group.

If the user selects an existing condition group and specifies a new name, the name of the condition group is replaced with the new name. The same name cannot be specified for a pass-conditions group and an exclusion-conditions group.

If the user attempts to specify an existing condition group name, a message dialog box displaying the following message appears:

KAVB0256-E The specified condition group name already exists.

Clear

Clicking this button clears all condition settings displayed under Conditions.

Read From Selected Event

Clicking this button applies the attribute values of the JP1 event selected in the Event Console window to the corresponding items under Conditions. The following describes how the attribute values are applied:

When an event attribute value includes a control character (such as a linefeed or tab character)
The part before the first control character is applied. If an option condition can be specified for the event attribute, First characters is selected.

When an event attribute value does not include a control character
The entire event attribute value is applied. If an option condition can be specified for the event attribute, Match is selected.

If the information of the selected JP1 event is mapped in the Event-Information Mapping Definitions window, the attribute values for the display items and program-specific extended attribute values that have been mapped are not applied. For details about the Event-Information Mapping Definitions window, see 5.1.3 Displaying extended attributes of JP1 events in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Administration Guide.
