- Organization of this subsection
(1) Collecting and distributing definition information from the manager host
With one operation, you can distribute the information in a forwarding settings file (forward) from a higher-level host defined in the JP1/IM - Manager system configuration to lower-level hosts. The forwarding settings are reloaded on each host as soon as the file is successfully distributed, after which event forwarding starts again, using the updated settings.
For details on this function, see 12. Collecting and Distributing Event Service Definitions (JP1/IM Only).
(2) Note on reloading the forwarding settings file (forward)
Any JP1 events being sent at the exact moment the forwarding settings file (forward) is reloaded are canceled and the transfers are regarded as having failed. For this reason, in the forward-limit parameter of the event server settings file (conf), you must set a retry timeout that will allow any JP1 events that could not be forwarded to be resent after the forwarding settings file is reloaded.
(3) Reloading the forwarding settings file when using JP1/IM - Manager
When the forwarding settings file (forward) contains a to-upper forwarding setting block, the JP1 events will be forwarded according to the JP1/IM - Manager system configuration. If the JP1/IM - Manager system configuration is changed, the forwarding settings file (forward) will be automatically updated when you execute the jbsrt_distrib command to distribute the new JP1/IM - Manager system configuration to each host. There is no need to execute the jevreload command on each host.
For details on the jbsrt_distrib command, see the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.
- Note
-
If your system consists of hosts on which JP1/Base 06-00 or JP1/Base 06-51 or later are installed, the configuration definition information will be distributed when the jbsrt_distrib command is executed. However, the forwarding settings file (forward) will not be reloaded on the hosts running JP1/Base version 06-00.
You must restart the event service on the hosts running JP1/Base version 06-00.
