2965.0. "Rule and retargeting: seems possible" by BLGEUS::ROSSIGIU () Fri May 08 1992 15:04

    Hi,
    	the context is VMS 5.5 and MCC BMS T1.2.7 .
    Showing informations about a rule, MCC shows an attribute
    about targeting !!!!
    
    Questions: Can we retarget a rule ?
    	       if yes how can we set that attribute of rule indicating
    	       targeting ?
    
    Thanks in advance

2965.1this is a bug... but there's another way!DADA::DITMARSPeteFri May 08 1992 15:4338
I don't think the "target entity" is supported on the create rule directive,
and it's probably a mistake that it's showing up in the attributes at all.

QAR'd as 2915 in MCC_INTERNAL.  It should either be removed from the shown
attributes or supported in the create directive.

But, what you can do with t1.2.7 is use targetting to re-target a rule.
For example, if you wanted to re-target a rule that is defined on a node4 
remote node, which will fire on the remote node child entity of your local 
node4,to instead fire on the remote node itself, you could do the following:

assign target domain <domain_name> -
	event source = domain <domain_name> rule <rule_name>, -
	event name = "any osi event", -
	managed object = "node4 #1 remote node #2", -
	target entity = "node4 #2"

That's a pretty fancy example, using symbol substitution (the #2 thingys), but
it's the kind of thing folks use a lot to overcome entity model restrictions.

A simpler one, e.g. retargetting a rule that is on a node to instead fire
on a bridget would be:

assign target domain <domain_name> -
	event source = domain <domain_name> rule <rule_name>, -
	event name = "any osi event", -
	target entity = "bridge foo"

You can also re-target the severity of events (not just domain rule events)
by using the target severity argument.  See the online help for the 
targetting stuff in the IMPM.
 
 Map window Application->Notification Services, then
 Notification window Targeting->Assign Target, then
 Assign Target window Help->Overview

Also, MB2->Help while in any of the "assign target" fields will give you help
on that field.
