HP Operations Manager for UNIX Administrator’s Reference

Configuring HPOM
Configuring Flexible Management Templates
If you include the day of the week (for example, Monday April 1,
2008), HPOM cross-checks the day and date you have entered to
make sure that they match the calendar. If they do not match,
however, the action will not be correctly completed. HPOM does not
issue an error message.
❏ Wildcards (*)
You can set dates or periods using a wildcard character (*):
• Specific Dates
To set a condition for December 1st every year, use the syntax:
DATE ON 12/01/*
• Time Periods
To set a condition from August 6th to September 10th every year,
use the syntax:
DATE FROM 08/06/* TO 09/10/*
NOTE
Although syntactically correct, HPOM cannot handle mixed
conditions like DATE FROM 05/07/08 TO 10/10/*.
For further examples of time templates, see the following:
❏ “Syntax for Time Templates” on page 106
❏ man page opcmom(4)
❏ /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/tmpl_respmgrs
NOTE
HP-UX Only:
To correct time differences between the different time resources used by
the HPOM C-routines and the MPE/iX intrinsics and commands, the
TIMEZONE variable must be set on MPE/iX managed nodes. If not,
messages can be sent to the wrong management server as they are
processed using the incorrect time.
