About Status Variables for Conditions
Configuring OVO
Configuring Flexible Management Templates
Status variables for conditions allow you to enable and disable conditions
dynamically. The conditions are used in conditions for message target
rules, and must be declared at be beginning of the template, after the
TIMETEMPLATES values.
OVO enables you to declare several variables for one condition, as well as
declare one variable in several conditions. For example, an external
interface can set the state of many conditions with one call.
The following abbreviated (...) example of a template defining service
hours sets the condition status variable for SAP to true:
TIMETEMPLATES
...
CONDSTATUSVARS
...
RESPMGRCONFIG
...
CONDSTATUSVAR "sap" True
MESSAGETARGETRULECONDS
MESSAGETARGETRULECOND
APPLICATION "Sap"
DESCRIPTION "Filter SAP messages"
CONDSTATUSVAR "sap"

NOTE Status variables are persistent. They are not affected by the message
manager stopping and restarting.
