Event Management Policy Activation

For performance reasons, the Event Management service reads all message records and message action definitions (the policy) from the Event Management database tables during startup, and maintains active lists of message records and message actions in memory resident tables. Database updates are not immediately reflected in these memory resident tables. Subsequent changes to message records and message actions do not take effect until the Event Management service refreshes the active version of the policy.

To refresh the active Event Management policy, issue the opreload command, or shut down and restart Event Management.

The opreload command directs Event Management to refresh the active message records and message actions immediately with the definitions stored in the Event Management database. Any requests for automated message processing remain in queue until the active policy is refreshed.

Note: For a step‑by‑step procedure for putting the Event Management policy into effect, see Enterprise Management in the online help.
