Chapter 6. OS/2 Adapter

The IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console adapter for OS/2 forwards events from an
OS/2 system to the event server. The adapter is registered with the startup
configuration of OS/2 so that the adapter is started with all the other applications
that are automatically started when OS/2 is started.
The adapter is an OS/2 process that reads events generated by an OS/2 system
and forwards them to an event server for further processing.
OS/2 events are gathered from the First Failure Support Technology
system, and from ASCII log files residing on the OS/2 system. The adapter
translates a certain type of FFST events into IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console events
and sends them to the event server. There are three types of FFST events: DET1,
DET2, and DET4. DET1 events represent error conditions and are the only type
sent to the event server. Entries in the ASCII log files are formatted according to
the format file.
This chapter describes how to configure and start the OS/2 adapter.
