Configuring OVO
Configuring Flexible Management Templates
158
If you include the day of the week (for example, Monday April 1,
1997), OVO 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. OVO 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, OVO cannot handle mixed conditions
like DATE FROM 05/07/01 TO 10/10/*.
NOTE HP-UX Only:
For further examples of time templates, see the following:
❏ “Syntax for Time Templates” on page 135
❏ man page opcmom(4)
❏ /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/tmpl_respmgrs
To correct time differences between the different time resources used by
the OVO 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. For information about setting the
TIMEZONE variable for MPE/iX nodes, see the OVO DCE Agent
Concepts and Configuration Guide.
