Disabling Events

To disable one or more events for one or more receivers (destinations), first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

If you enter any invalid events, receivers, node names, or server names, Tivoli Storage Manager  issues an error message. However, Tivoli Storage Manager disables any valid events, receivers, node names, or server names that are specified.
