Issue/Introduction

the method to update the OneClick EvFormat / Probcause files via command line does not work as described in the kb article or the documentation:

https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/9994/update-spectrum-event-and-alarm-files-vi.html /

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/spectrum/23-3/administrating/oneclick-administration/oneclick-administration-pages.html#concept.dita_99bd4cd8af497f4501d74d0457df4a5fc66ed4b4_ReloadEvFormatPCauseConfiguration).

A tcpdump shows that Spectrum returns the login screen when issuing the command

wget http://<OC_host>:8080/spectrum/admin/ecds.jsp?reload=Reload --user <user> --password <password>

What is the correct way to update the EvFormat / PCause files without having to use the GUI button?

Environment

Spectrum 23.3.1-23.3.6

Cause

Resolution

1. Modify the <SPEC_INSTAL>/Spectrum\tomcat\webapps\spectrum\WEB-INF\web.xml
   
   Find the 
   
   <filter-mapping xmlns="">
       <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/topo/modelrep</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>
   
   and ADD the following just after above:
   
   <filter-mapping xmlns="">
       <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
       <url-pattern>/admin/ecds.jsp</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>
