Did Variables Change in 5.0 ?

[David Claussen]

My original problem was that I could not get SIM to pass variables through to Telalert.

The problem was answered in the link below and all was well.

Now that I have upgraded from HPSIM 4.x SPx to HPSIM 5.0 SP2, those variables no longer work. I found, through the help, that now to get the system name passed to alerting, %D is the system name where before it was %DEVICENAME%.

I cannot find a complete list of the "new" variables. None of my alerts work now because SIM does not recognize the old variables.

Please help.

THANKS!

Please see the section 'Command Line Tools Reference' that starts on page 306 of the following document: http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Information Library --> 'HP Systems Insight Manager 5.0 Technical Reference Guide'

The document that you reference is what I saw, but thanks for helping acquire the actual PDF file.

My issue is that there seem to many missing variables now. For instance, in 4.2 I used the variable %NOTICELABEL% to list the actual error. There is nothing like that in the "new" list of variables in 5.0.

Am I missing something?
