280 Utilities in Dell OpenManage IT Assistant

Ensure that the text file format complies with the following formatting rules:

The format for the usage of the utility must be:

ImportEventSources.exe <fully qualified

path\filename>

All values of a particular Event Source must be bar-separated.

Each Event Source entry must be on a separate line.

The format of entries for each Event Source must be:

<EventCategoryName>|<EventSourceName>|<Severity>|

<Format

String>|<SNMPEnterpriseOID>|<SNMPGenericTrapID>|<

SNMPSpecificTrapID>|<EventPackageName>

The format for severity strings by value must be:

<ObjectId>,<ObjectValue>,<Severity>;<ObjectId1>,

<ObjectValue1>,

EventSourceName cannot be NULL or an empty string.

NOTE: If the EventCategoryName is an empty string, the category is defaulted

to Other. If the category name does not match any of the pre-defined category

types in IT Assistant, a new Event Category is created with the category name

that you enter.

NOTE: If the severity string entered in the input file does not match the

predefined severity strings, an appropriate error message is displayed.

NOTE: A combination of EnterpriseOID, Generic TrapID, and SpecificTrapID

for each event should be unique. Also, the combination of EventSourceName

and EventPackageName is validated to check if the entry is unique.

NOTE: Enter two consecutive bars (" || ") to represent NULL or empty strings.

The following is a sample MIB entry.
