Forward to CA NSM

To format the traps sent to a CA NSM management platform, you must load the rules to reformat the alert messages for display on the EM Console.

To forward alerts to the EM Console in CA NSM

1. Use FTP to download the message definition rules in binary mode from the UNIEMMSG member of your CC2DSAMP data set created at installation. For example, using the Windows FTP client from the prompt:

   >ftp myhost
   Connected to myhost.mycompany.com.
   User (myhost.mycompany.com:(none)): user01
   331 Send password please.
   Password: xxxxxxxx
   230 USER01 is logged on. Working directory is "/u/users/user01".
   ftp>cd "prefix.ppvv.CC2DSAMP"
   250 The working directory "prefix.ppvv.CC2DSAMP" is a partitioned data set
   ftp>binary
   200 Representation type is Image
   ftp> get uniemmsg uniemmsg.txt
   200 Port request OK.
   125 Sending data set prefix.ppvv.CC2DSAMP(UNIEMMSG) FIXrecfm 80
   250 Transfer completed successfully.
   ftp: 3200 bytes received in 0.67Seconds 4.77Kbytes/sec.
   ftp>quit
   

2. From a Windows prompt on the destination CA NSM EM Server, load the message definition rules from the downloaded file. Enter the following command at the prompt to define the rules to event management:

   cautil -f "uniemmsg.txt"
   

3. Enter the following command to load the rules:

   oprcmd opreload
   

4. In your region, set the alert forwarding destination to TNGTRAP.
