12.3 Distributing event service definitions
The following describes how the manager host distributes definitions to managed hosts. The manager host distributes definitions to the managed hosts defined in the JP1/IM - Manager system configuration on the manager host. It can distribute definitions to all managed hosts or just particular managed hosts.
To distribute definitions to managed hosts:
-
Edit the distribution definition file.
In the distribution definition file, define the destination hosts and the definitions you want to distribute. You must prepare a distribution definition file for each definition file for which you want to distribute definitions.
For details on the distribution definition file, see Distribution definition file in 16. Definition Files.
-
Execute the jevdef_distrib command.
The definitions are distributed and the settings are applied. For details on the jevdef_distrib command, see jevdef_distrib in 15. Commands.
- Notes
-
-
If definitions are already set on a destination host, the jevdef_distrib command first deletes the existing definitions before distributing definitions.
-
The messages returned from each destination host when you execute the jevdef_distrib command conform to the language type set on that host. For details on how to set the language type, see 3.4.1 Setting the language (UNIX only). When distributing definitions from a Japanese-language manager to Japanese-language agents, the encoding of the distribution definition file is automatically converted when the language type differs between the manager and agent.
