Defining Customized Operator Reports
You can define customized operator reports by modifying the following
file:
/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/reports//\
oper.rpts
Whenever an operator saves report output to a file without specifying an
absolute path (starting with “/”), the file is stored in the operator’s UNIX
working directory, which is defined by $OPC_HOME (if set), $HOME, or
/tmp, in that order. In addition, the file is owned by the operator’s UNIX
user, not by opc_op, unless the operator logged in as UNIX user opc_op.
The permissions of the file are determined by the umask as it was set
before the OVO Operator GUI was started.
Generating Statistical and Trend-analysis Reports
OVO enables you to generate statistical and trend-analysis reports over
a defined period of time. These reports can be configured to cover periods
from as little as a few days to as much as weeks or even months.
NOTE The tool /opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcdbmsgmv moves all messages that are
marked as acknowledged to the history-message tables in the database,
where they are retained with little or no negative effect on operational
tasks. Although automatically started every two hours by the OVO
control manager, opcdbmsgmv may also be called manually for
troubleshooting purposes.
