Tivoli Connection Guide and Reference


Setting up the Tivoli Enterprise Console interface

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:

  1. TECEIF.DLL

    This DLL provides the interface between the events generated by your application and the event integration facility of the Tivoli Enterprise Console.

  2. 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:

    The default TECEIF.CFG file is defined as:
