After upgrading to version 10.3.1 there are a lot of error messages in the event_disp_error_file.
All these errors (nearly 1,000 entries) point to just 2 files.

Cause

/CsVendor/SDN/EventDisp
and 
/CsVendor/Versa/SeverityMaps/alarmSeverity 

This is caused by 2 EventDisp file being incorrectly formatted to  DOS format

Environment

CA Spectrum 10.3.1 installed on Linux

Resolution

and solution as to convert it to UNIX format.

dos2unix /CsVendor/SDN/EventDisp
dos2unix /CsVendor/Versa/SeverityMaps/alarmSeverity 
restart the SS 

Please Note
If these files were in the SPECROOT/Custom folder, there is an alternative to a restart of the SpectroSERVER:
you can update the event configs from the SpectroSERVER control on the VNM model.
Outside of the custom folder, a restart is required.
