1  block

2  event_dispatcher

3  outbound_stream

   Sets the filters to block the specified events for the entity
   instance or class. It causes the named events to be blocked.

   See the appropriate filter type below for command examples.

4  global_filter

   block [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream simple-name -
       global filter ((class-name[,class-name...]), event-name )


   Global Filter 

   Specifies a class name, excluding all instance names 
   (for example, node, mop, circuit), and identifies the event to be
   blocked.  To block all events for the class, specify "all" instead 
   of an individual event.


   Examples:

   block event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
       global filter ((NODE,CSMA-CD,STATION), Unavailable User Buffer)

   block event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
       global filter ((NODE,Event Dispatcher), All )

5  Exception_Messages

o  illegal block

   The attempted block operation is illegal; for example, the
   command attempted to block the event dispatcher outbound stream
   events lost or shutdown events.
 

o  illegal element

   The command did not include a class-name or instance-name
   argument, or an argument contained one of the following illegal
   elements: wildcard, node name, node class, illegal class.


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.


o  no such object instance

   The specified event dispatcher outbound stream instance does 
   not exist.

4  specific_filter

   block [node node-id] event dispatcher -
       outbound stream simple-name -
       specific filter (instance-name, event-name )


   Specific Filter 

   Specifies an entity including instance name, and names the event 
   to be blocked.  To block all events for the instance, specify 
   "all" instead of an individual event.


   Examples:

   block event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
     specific filter (Node LOCAL:.LAMCHP Event Dispatcher -
     Outbound Stream local_stream, Events Lost)

   block event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
     specific filter (Node LOCAL:.LAMCHP MOP Circuit CSMACD-1, All)

           event-name)


   Global Filter

   Specifies a class name, excluding all instance names (for
   example, node, mop, circuit), and identifies the event to be
   blocked.  To block all events for the class, specify "all" 
   instead of an individual event.


   Example:

   block event dispatcher sink local_sink -
           global filter ((Node, Event Dispatcher, SINK), All)

5  Exception_Messages

4  specific_filter

   block  [node node-id] event dispatcher sink simple-name
           specific filter (instance-name, event-name)


   Specific Filter

   Specifies an entity, including instance name, and name the 
   event to be blocked.  To block all events for this instance, 
   specify "all" instead of an individual event.

       specific filter (Node LOCAL:.LAMCHP Event Dispatcher -
       Sink local_sink, all)
