Hi Christian, all,
${SPECROOT}/custom/Events/ is the base directory for the files you mentioned.
You can have AlertMap and EventDisp directly within that directory and/or
within subdirectories. The subdirectories directories may also have custom
names, not just modeltype specific. As usual, there are up- and downsides:
using subdirectories you end up having smaller files allowing for better
separation and maintenance while working without subdirectories makes keeping
track of custom event IDs more easy.
Anyway, OneClick Event Configuration will read all files including those within
subdirectories but will still remove any formatting/comments from your files
when used for editing.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen - Yours sincerely

Betreff: [spectrum] Exact location of custom AlertMap and EventDisp files
Hi all,
I am in the process of optimizing a SPECTRUM 10.1.1 installation that has been
growing for 20+ years. Traditionally, AlertMap and EvenDisp files had been
edited by hand in their original location $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/ etc. To
provide for updates to run more smoothly, it is about time to use customized
Trap-to-event and Event-to-alarm mappings into the custom directory structure.
I understand that every configuration line for the same trap oid or the same
event handle placed in the custom directory takes precedence over the one in
the CsVendor directory tree. What I don't get is excactly what files SPECTRUM
expects to contain the custom entries and where they should be placed.
Docs say, custom EventDisp files must be placed under $SPECROOT/custom/Events,
while custom AlertMap files are requested to be found under
$SPECROOT/custom/Events/AlertMap. Does the last term refer to a directory name
or some sort of "global" custom AlertMap file? In this case, I would assume
that a corresponding global EventDisp file (Model Type independent) has to be
placed as $SPECROOT/custom/Events/EventDisp.
_Or_ am I required to build a directory structure similar to the one in the
CsVendor directory? If so, do I have to do this twice - one, for my AlerMap
files under $SPECROOT/custom/Events/AlertMap and two, for my EventDisp files
under $SPECROOT/custom/Events directly?
Currently, in SPECROOT/custom/Events, I only have directories for custom Event
Text and Probable Cause files which I have been using for many years now.
Frankly, I have difficulties to understand the CA documentation in this case.
And I have no SPECTRUM installation at hand that has been customized in a more
sophisticated way compared to mine. ;-)
Thanks in advance!
