Event Management › Event Management Utilities › Configuration Statements

Configuration Statements

The Event Management Utilities enable you to have many instances of Event Management running across the enterprise and to associate messages with each of these instances on a selective basis. Depending on your configuration, messages can be routed to different instances of Event Management according to message content or attributes such as language. Two types of statements define how messages are associated with Event Management destinations:

Criteria statement

Tests incoming messages and associate them with different Event Management destinations.

Destination statement

Identifies which instance of Event Management is to receive a particular set of messages and the technique that should be used for communications.

You can store criteria and destination statements in data sets or in HFS or zFS files.

If you use data sets, you can identify them in the Event Management Utilities CAW0JCL member CAS9FEMS as follows:

//CRIT  DD  DSN=criteria_dsn,DISP=SHR
//DEST  DD  DSN=destination_dsn,DISP=SHR

If you use HFS or zFS files, you can identify them in the Event Management Utilities CAS9FEMS member as follows:

//CRIT  DD  PATH=criteria_file_name
//DEST  DD  PATH=destination_file_name

If you start the Event Management Utilities as a UNIX process, you use the cas9fems parameters to identify the HFS or zFS files.

The syntax for criteria and destination statements is provided in the sections that follow.
