Tivoli Connection Guide and Reference
The Tivoli Enterprise Console is a Tivoli product that collects event
information from a wide variety of sources, correlates the information to
determine root-cause problems, and performs automated responses. The
Tivoli Connection feature assumes that you already have TEC installed on a
server in your network.
To run your Tivoli-enabled application, you need two files:
- TECEIF.DLL
This DLL provides the interface between the events generated by your
application and the event integration facility of the Tivoli Enterprise
Console.
- TECEIF.CFG
The configuration file specifies the name of your TEC server and describes
your application. This file must be located in the same directory as
the TECEIF.DLL file. The TECEIF.DLL file reads this file
when it is initialized.
The following entries are defined in the configuration file:
- Server
- Machine name that receives the events.
- TestMode
- If YES, events are not sent to the server and the TECEIF.DLL
creates a TECEIF.LOG file in its directory to log events.
If NO, events are sent to the server without logging.
- Application
- Name of the application. If the Developer Kit has been used to
define the application, then this is the name found in the Global Description
File for the application.
- AppVersion
- Version of the application. If the Developer Kit has been used to
define the application, then this is the version specified in the Global
Description File for the application.
- AdminRevision
- An administrator revision string supplied when the application is
distributed.
- Component
- Name of the component. If the Developer Kit has been used to define
the application component, then this is the name found in the Component
Description File.
A sample file might contain the following statements:
- Server=TECServer
- TestMode=YES
- Application=MyApplication
- AppVersion1.0.0
- AdminRevision=Rev1
- Component=MyComponent
The default TECEIF.CFG file is defined as:
- Server=unknown
- TestMode=Yes
