Event Management

Event Management provides for automated handling of messages and events. The Event Management console provides a window into the Enterprise Management GUI that monitors system events as they occur. DTS events, like starting and stopping the DTS servers, requesting a transfer to a machine object that cannot be located, DTS failures, and security validation failures, are also monitored. Any messages the DTS events generate are automatically sent to the Event Management console where they are identified by a specific prefix.

Depending on your site's requirements, you can configure Event Management to process event messages on individual servers or to redirect them to a central server or other Event Management servers. You can collect related messages network-wide and display them on a single console or send them to multiple locations as needed.

Through Event Management, you can identify specific messages important to your operation, and then specify the action to perform when they occur. You can enhance the messages to better track their source or to customize them to your site's needs.

Note: In CA ITCM, DTS uses Event Management but not directly. DTS is integrated with the Common Application Framework (CAF) to which events are passed, and CAF passes the events to Event Management.
