Message Sources

Messages can be directed to Event Management from various sources:

The cawto command sends a message to the Event Console.
The cawtor command sends a message to the Event Console and waits for a reply. The message appears in the held messages pane and is deleted when the operator replies.
The oprcmd command sends a request to execute a command to the designated target computers.
The careply command replies to a message held by the Event Console.
Enterprise Management components such as Workload Management, Security Management, and File Management generate messages directly to the Event Console.
SNMP event messages and traps are routed to the node identified by the caiopr daemon as the provider for the Event Management service through the CA trap daemon, catrapd.
On z/OS UNIX platforms, messages from the syslog daemon are routed through the syslog daemon to the Event Console. Messages that the logger utility issues are included as they also use the syslog daemon. These messages can have originated on a platform not running CCS. (Messages that the CCS components issue are sent directly to the Event Console, not through syslog, to take advantage of message matching fields.)
Agent Technology policies issue messages to the Event Console.
