B Optional Configuration of Automatic Incident Report
Delivery Path Test and Periodic IR Creation
OSM automatically runs the Incident Report Delivery Path Test periodically (according to a specified
interval) and sends a Periodic Incident Report to each configured CMS. The results of the test are
displayed in the event 1102 or 1103 as well as in alarms and dialouts, if OSM is not able to send
the Periodic Incident Report through one of the paths. You can configure this interval, or the
frequency of this automatic activity, as well as the time of day it is initiated by OSM.
The default interval is once every 24 hours. You can change that interval through the following
OSMCONF file parameter:
PeriodicIRHourlyInterval = <hours>
<hours>
is the interval in hours; for example, a value of “48” would cause OSM to run the path test
and send the resulting Periodic IR every 48 hours. The value must be a whole number of “1”
or more; a value of “0” disables the automatic creation of Periodic IRs.
You can also configure the time of day that this automatic activity is initiated by OSM; the
OSMCONF file parameter you use depends on your OSM version:
• For T0682 ACJ or later (on H/J-series) and T0682 ACM or later (on G-series), use the following
OSMCONF file parameter. Use of this parameter requires that the PeriodicIRHourlyInterval
parameter be either absent (using default of 24 hours) or set as a multiple of 24.
PeriodicIRCreateTime = <hour>[:<minute>]
<hour>[:<minute>]
where the hour value is 0-23 (based on a 24 hour clock) and the optional minute value
is 0-59. If only the hour is specified, a random number between 0 and 30 is selected as
the minute value. The default time is the time that the previous Periodic IR was created by
OSM, as a result of the automatic Incident Report Delivery Path Test. If there was no
previous automatic Periodic IR, the default time is the time that OSM started running.
• For earlier supported OSM versions, use the following OSMCONF file parameter. Use of this
parameter requires that the PeriodicIRHourlyInterval parameter be set as a multiple of 24.
PeriodicIRCreateHour = <hour>
<hour>
where the hour value is 0-23 (based on a 24 hour clock). The default time is 2 (2:00 AM).
TIP: When managing multiple NonStop systems from the same CMS, consider varying the time
of automatic Periodic IR creation for better manageability and CMS performance. When doing
so, be sure to account for the time zone differences between the NonStop systems and the CMS.
The hour/minute specified reflects the local time values on each NonStop system.
