I've installed Availability Manager v2.6 (both Collector and Analyzer) and want to know where the AMDS$*_DEFS.DAT files with information about thresholds, interval, occurrences, etc. are located. I have looked for them and they don't appear anywhere.
I want to modify the default settings and make use of the customization of one system to define a great part of the customization of the rest of the systems, without having to repeat the process trough the GUI (quite slowly on the other hand) for each system to be configured.
Have I missed anything? The software is working properly.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Ana

Re: CUSTOMIZATION FILES IN AVAILABILITY MANAGER V2.6
In this version you need to start the GUI and select 'customize' in the event log window and system overview window. In this menus you have 'save' and then the files are created. In amds$config.

Re: CUSTOMIZATION FILES IN AVAILABILITY MANAGER V2.6
In this version I am not able to find any save option. In fact, I don't see any references to those files at the user's manual (I knew about them in references to other AMDS versions) and, perhaps, there is no possibility to do what I am intending to do.
But, in this case, where are the modified settings, either for group or single node, at the customization panel saved?.
If somebody is working with this version, please give me an answer.
Thank you very much.
Regards.

where I can see "customize" in the menu bar.

Re: CUSTOMIZATION FILES IN AVAILABILITY MANAGER V2.6
I have been using this product since some time ago. With previous version 2.4 I realized the lack of this option but, as I intended to upgrade, I waited for the new version to be installed to see all the new features before writing this post.
The customize option hasn't got any save options, neither the application customization nor the openvms one nor the windows NT one; only de "Use default values", "OK", "Apply", "Cancel" and "Help" buttoms. However, if I make a change in either the application or openvms settings (I don't use windows NT), the change is saved.
Perhaps it's a "hidden" option or an undocumented feature.
Thanks.

Re: CUSTOMIZATION FILES IN AVAILABILITY MANAGER V2.6
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/availman/6552INSTALL.PDF
and start reading around page 11 of the pdf - 3.7 Performing Postinstallation Tasks.
It talks about a couple of files ... are these what you're after?
Cheers,

Re: CUSTOMIZATION FILES IN AVAILABILITY MANAGER V2.6
No they aren't the files I am looking for but, one of those files, AMDS$LOGICALS.TEMPLATE, refers to the files I want. This is an extract of that file:
..........
$!
$! ******************************************************************
$! * Used by BOTH DECamds Data Analyzer AND Data Collector/Provider *
$! ******************************************************************
$!
$! The following logical is used to read in data files, such as DECwindows
$! resource files and the security files. It should point to a device/directory
$! which contains the following files:
$!
$! All AMDS$VMSVAX-V%%.LIB files
$! All AMDS$VMSAXP-V%%.LIB files
$! The AMDS$COMM.EXE image
$! The AMDS$CONSOLE.UID file
$! The AMDS$CONSOLE_ACCESS.DAT security file
$! The AMDS$DRIVER_ACCESS.DAT security file
$! All AMDS$*_DEFS.DAT customization files
$! The AMDS$APPLIC_CUSTOMIZE.DAT customization file
$!
$ AMDS$DEF AMDS$CONFIG AMDS$SYSTEM ! Default to AMDS$SYSTEM
$!
$!---------------------------------------------------------------
.............
The customization files I look for are those mentioned there, AMDS$*_DEFS.DAT, where * means, as far as I know, SEVERITY, THRESHOLD, INTERVAL, OCCURRENCE, etc.
It seems that it is possible to use them but, how can you create them?
Thanks.

"Use a VMS editor to edit any of the customization files. Tables 6-1 through 6-4 list the files and explain the customization options each contains. All customization files reside in a directory pointed to by the logical AMDS$CONFIG, which is created at installation time."

Re: CUSTOMIZATION FILES IN AVAILABILITY MANAGER V2.6
The version 3.0 is available as a field test and includes the long awaited WAN functionality (found it accidentally when downlading the DFG fieldtest). A system on the remote LAN acts as a server and supplies the local analyzer with the data via normal TCP/IP, works very well.
