Task Execution window

The Task Execution window includes the T/EC ITM Synchronization task library for synchronizing events.


Assigning the All Active Events event group

To run the synchronization tasks successfully, you must first assign the All Active Events predefined event group to your console. You can also assign any other event groups that contain the event that you run tasks against. You must use the Tivoli Enterprise Console Java console to perform the action of assigning an event group to an operator's console. This can not be done in the Tivoli Enterprise Console view.

The Tivoli Enterprise Console view can be used with dynamic queries or event groups. If the option is for dynamic queries, the tasks that use the Tivoli Enterprise Console ui_server process, such as Close Event, fail if no event groups are assigned to the operator's console.

Close_Reset_ITM_Event

For an event whose master_reset_flag is set to R, this task changes the status of the event to CLOSED.

  1. Select Close_Reset_ITM_Event from the TEC ITM Synchronization tasks list.

  2. Click Execute Task to run the task.

The following lists the assumptions and prerequisites for running the Close_Reset_ITM_Event task:

The following authorization is required to run this task: super, senior, admin, user.

Close_All_Reset_ITM_Events

This task changes the status of all events to CLOSED that have the master_reset_flag value set to R and that match the given monitoring server hostname.

Note: Depending on the number of events processed, this task could take a long time. The task continues processing in the background if a timeout expires.

  1. Select Close_All_ITM_Events from the TEC ITM Synchronization tasks list.

  2. In the right pane, type the name of the monitoring server hostname.

  3. Click Execute Task to run the task.

The following lists the assumptions and prerequisites for running the Close_Reset_ITM_Event task:

The following authorization is required to run this task: super, senior, admin, user

Resynchronize Reset Events

The Synchronize Events task creates a new event and sends it to the specified event server to trigger one rule in the omegamon.rls file to synchronize the duplicate situation events that were sent before and after a monitoring server was recycled.

  1. Select Resynchronize Reset Events from the TEC ITM Synchronization tasks list.

  2. Complete the following fields:

    1. Event Server's Name is the event server to receive the event.

    2. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server Hostname host name of the monitoring server whose situation events you want to synchronize.

    3. Timeout (seconds)

  3. Click Execute Task to run the task.

The following lists the assumptions and prerequisites for running the Resynchronize Reset Events task:

The following authorization is required to run this task: super, senior, admin, user.

Administrator assigning operator

The Tivoli Enterprise Console view can be used with dynamic queries or Event Groups. If the option is for dynamic queries, the tasks that use UI_SERVER (such as Close Event) will fail if the Operator does not have at least one Event Group assigned to his Console. The event that the operator wants to execute the task must be part of one event group otherwise it will fail.

We recommend the operator to have the Event Group "All Active Events" that is shipped with Tivoli Enterprise Console assigned to their console but the Administrator can assign any other Event Group that contains the event that the operator is willing to execute tasks against.
