Defaults

No

Explanation

Specifies whether Blueworx Voice Response logs alarm conditions in the AIX error log, to be passed on to NetView. (You do not need to set this parameter if you are using the SNMP traps that are generated by the Blueworx Voice Response SNMP daemon, dtsnmpd.)

Yes (EBCDIC codepoints)

Some or all Blueworx Voice Response alarm conditions are logged in the AIX error log with details in EBCDIC suitable to be passed by Alert Manager to an IBM program such as NetView/390.

Yes (ASCII codepoints)

Some or all Blueworx Voice Response alarm conditions are logged in the AIX error log with details in ASCII that can be sent to a workstation program such as NetView for AIX. For these alarm conditions to be notified to NetView for AIX, you must have trapgend installed.

You can use this parameter to cause Blueworx Voice Response alarm conditions to be logged in the AIX error log whether or not you are using NetView.

By default, only red alarm conditions and the corresponding clear messages are logged in the AIX error log. To log all alarm conditions, you must also set the Alarms - Make All Alertable parameter to Yes.

Changes to this parameter do not take effect until you shut down Blueworx Voice Response, use the DT_shutdown command to stop dtalarmd (the Blueworx Voice Response alarm daemon), then restart Blueworx Voice Response.
