1 – outbound_stream
set [node node-id] event dispatcher -
outbound stream simple-name ...
Modifies the attributes for the event dispatcher outbound stream
entity, which represents an outgoing connection to a sink on a
local or remote node. The modifiable attributes and their data
types [in brackets] are:
catch all filter [action]
connect retry timer [seconds]
connect timer enabled [boolean]
disconnect timer [seconds]
sink address [sink-address-tower]
sink end user [end-user-spec]
sink node [full-name]
sink object [full-name]
template [simple-name] (Tru64 UNIX)
Refer to attributes for specific command examples.
1.1 – catch_all_filter
Default: Pass Value: Block or pass
Action to take if neither the specific filter nor the global
filter contains an entry that matches an event.
block Discard the event.
pass Report the event.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
catch all filter block-or-pass
Example:
set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
catch all filter pass
1.2 – connect_retry_timer
Default: 120 Value: 0-65535
Number of seconds to wait after a disconnect or connection reject
before reattempting a connection. Connection attempts continue
until a connection is made or until the connect timer enabled
attribute is set to false or the outbound stream is disabled.
If the outbound stream is already connected to the sink when
the timer expires, no connection is attempted at that time. The
timer resets and connection attempts continue whenever the timer
expires.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
connect retry timer integer
Example:
set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
connect retry timer 130, connect timer enabled true
1.3 – connect_timer_enabled
Default: True Value: True or false
Specifies whether the connect timer is operational (see connect
retry timer).
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
connect timer enabled boolean
Example:
set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
connect retry timer 130, connect timer enabled true
1.4 – disconnect_timer
Default: 0; see Value: 0-4294967295
following description
Number of seconds to wait before disconnecting an idle
connection. Zero indicates that there is no disconnect timer
and connections are never automatically disconnected.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
disconnect timer integer
Example:
set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
disconnect timer 4294967295
1.5 – sink_address
Default: No address Value: Sink address tower set
Sink address tower for this stream. Modifying this characteristic
affects only subsequent connect requests; existing connections
are unaffected.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
sink address {towerset}
1.6 – sink_end_user
Default: Number = 82 Value: End-user specification
Sink session control end user specification for this stream.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
sink end user end-user-spec
Example:
set event disp out stream local_stream sink end user number = 82
1.7 – sink_node
Default: Local node Value: Full-name
Full DNS node name of the sink for this stream. Modifying this
characteristic affects only subsequent connect requests; existing
connections are unaffected. This fullname is used in combination
with the sink end user characteristic to establish the sink
connection.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
sink node full-name
Example:
set event disp out stream lamchp_stream sink node LOCAL:.LAMCHP
1.8 – sink_object
Default: No sink object Value: Full-name
Full DNS object name of the sink for this stream. Modifying this
characteristic affects only subsequent connect requests; existing
connections are unaffected. This fullname should match the object
name characteristic of the target sink.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
sink object full-name
1.9 – template (Tru64 UNIX)
Default: No template Value: Simple name
Transport template (see osi transport template) for this stream's
connections.
1.10 – Exception Messages
o entity class not supported (OpenVMS)
The Event Dispatcher is not registered with EMAA. The NET$EVD
process is probably not started. For instructions on how to
restart the Event Dispatcher, refer to
HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT EVENT_DISPATCHER.
2 – sink
set [node node-id] event dispatcher sink simple-name ...
Modifies the attributes for an event dispatcher sink entity, which
represents incoming connections and filters incoming events. The
modifiable attributes and their data types [in brackets] are:
catch all filter [block-or-pass]
client type [console-device-or-file]
device name [latin1string]
description [latin1string]
file name [filespec]
object name [full-name]
template [simple-name] (Tru64 UNIX)

displayuids [boolean]
Refer to attributes for specific command examples.
2.1 – catch_all_filter
Default: Pass Value: Block or pass
Specifies the action to take if neither the specific filter
setting nor the global filter setting matches an event or if a
filter setting that does match an event is set to Ignore.

catch all filter block-or-pass
Example:
set event dispatcher sink local_sink -
catch all filter pass
2.2 – client_type
Specifies the application to accept the events received by the
sink. This can only be set when the event dispatcher sink entity
is disabled (when the sink state is off).
console Events go to the operator's console (OPCOM-OpenVMS).

be embedded in quotes.
set [node node-id] event dispatcher sink sink-name -
device name latin1string
2.5 – displayuids
Default: True Value: Boolean
A boolean value indicating whether to include the UIDs when
displaying an event.

file name SYS$MANAGER:MYSINK.LOG
2.7 – object_name
Default: No sink object Value: Full-name
Full DNS object name of the sink. Modifying this characteristic
affects only subsequent connect requests; existing connections
are unaffected.
