To create and apply a correlation event generation definition:
-
Create a correlation event generation definition file.
Create a desired correlation event generation definition file. The file name and extension must observe the naming rules described in the table below.
Table 5‒4: Naming rules for a correlation event generation definition file Item

For details about the definitions to be specified in the correlation event generation definition file, see Correlation event generation definition file in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
We recommend that you store the created correlation event generation definition file in the following folder/directory:
Table 5‒5: Folder/directory for storing the correlation event generation definition file OS
Storage location#
Windows
- For a physical host:
-
Console-path\conf\evgen\define\
- For a logical host:
-
shared-folder\jp1cons\conf\evgen\define\
UNIX
- For a physical host:
-
/etc/opt/jp1cons/conf/evgen/define/
- For a logical host:
-
shared-directory/jp1cons/conf/evgen/define/
- #
-
By storing the correlation event generation definition file in the indicated folder/directory, the data collection tool can automatically collect from it in the same manner as with other definition files. During cluster operation, store the correlation event generation definition file on the shared disk to synchronize operations between the executing and standby systems.
-
Execute the jcoegscheck command to check for errors in the correlation event generation definition.
For details about the jcoegscheck command, see jcoegscheck in Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
-
Execute the jcoegschange command.
The defined information takes effect.
If JP1/IM - Manager is not running, the definition applied by the jcoegschange command will take effect the next time JP1/IM - Manager starts.
For details about the jcoegschange command, see jcoegschange in Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.
