10.1 Process for setting up an event service environment

You must perform two tasks in order to configure an event service environment:

• Configure an event service operating environment

• Define how JP1 events will be forwarded

The default settings are as follows:

• Run the event server on the local host.

• Create the event database.

  By default, the event database is created in the following location:

  In Windows:

  installation-folder\sys\event\servers\

  In UNIX:

  /var/opt/jp1base/sys/event/servers/

  Initially, the maximum size of the event database is set to 10,000,000 bytes.

• Acquire all JP1 events.

• Forward JP1 events to an upper server.^#

  #: An upper server is a server set in the JP1/IM configuration definition file. Only JP1 events with the extended attribute SEVERITY, and with Warning, Error, Critical, Alert, Emergency, or Emergence set as the value of that attribute, are forwarded from the local host. If no upper server has been set in the JP1/IM configuration definition file, JP1 events are not forwarded. You can configure JP1/Base to forward JP1 events to a remote host that is not defined in the configuration definition file by editing the forwarding settings file.
