A script that executes when the adapter initializes.

Script.onStarted

A script that executes when the adapter starts, either manually or automatically, when the Operations Center server starts.

Script.onStopped

A script that executes after manually stopping the adapter.

StyleSheet File

The stylesheet file in the /OperationsCenter_install_path/database directory that applies to the HierarchyFile as a style markup to produce the final output.

TADDM Host

The TADDM server hostname.

TADDM Password

The password associated with the user name for logging into the TADDM server.

TADDM Port (API)

The API port number for the TADDM server. The TADDM server might have a collation.properties configuration file that contains the API port number.

TADDM Port (RMI)

The RMI port number for the TADDM server. The RMI port can be found by using the Web client and clicking Start Product Client to launch the Java client. The RMI port is listed at the bottom of the user login page.

TADDM Refresh Interval (minutes)

(IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager 7.x adapter only) The poll interval, in minutes, for looking for new discovered data. Set to 15 minutes or greater. Set to 0 for no polling. Default is 60.

For more information about using a refresh interval, see Updating TADDM Data.

TADDM Username

The user name for logging into the TADDM server.

Use Alarm Times For Condition Changes

The date/time stamp to use for all alarm data stored by the Operations Center Data Warehouse. If true, the alarm’s date/time stamp is used. If false, the date/time stamp of when the Operations Center server received the alarm is used. The default is true.

Alarm history is stored based on the alarm time rather than alarm receipt time. Also, for SLA metric data based on alarm properties, the property values are recorded based on the alarm time instead of the alarm receipt time. Note that recording historical condition data for historical alarms is not supported.
