USS server install question

Products

• OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Issue/Introduction

There are several configuration parameters referring to PIPES, for example CA_OPS_UIM_PIPE=/tmp/ops2uim.  

Is the ops2uim portion of the path referring to a file that needs to be created manually, a directory that the USSProc will write another file name to, or something else?

Environment

OPS/MVS

Resolution

The directory /tmp will have to exist.  OPS will create the file ops2uim when OPS initializes.

Here is a useful link:

Install the UNIX System Services

Down the page a bit in the "USS Server ENVFILE Requirements" section it says:

CA_OPS_UIM_PIPE=your_name -  Full path name for the named pipe that is used to send events to CA UIM.  Default is “/tmp/ops2uim”. The pipe is created when the USS Server initializes. The Server writes events to the pipe and they are read by the CCS UIM component.

It's not clear, but yes "/tmp" needs to exist already.
