Example of Processing Files on Managed Nodes
About OVO Language Support
About Character Code Conversion in OVO
In an English-language environment, OVO could process managed node
files as follows:
Scenario OVO agent-processing character set is ROMAN8.
LANG=de_DE.iso88591
opcmsg msg_text=“This is a message with ä, ü,
ö”
Conversion Input conversion of the opcmsg is from ISO8859-1 to
ROMAN8 before the OVO message interceptor
evaluates the message attributes.
Output conversion, before forwarding the message to
the management server, is from ROMAN8 to
ISO8859-1/WE8ISO8859P1 (the database character
set).
Tips for Processing Files on Managed Nodes
On HP-UX, you can define different character sets for different managed
nodes. Define the character set most frequently used on each managed
node. For example, if you use mostly monitor logfiles with ROMAN8
characters, you should use ROMAN8 for your managed nodes. Similarly,
if your environment mostly generates input data for OVO in the ISO
8859-15 character set, you should set the managed node character set to
ISO 8859-15. When in doubt, use ISO 8859-15.
NOTE You can use a different character set for each managed node. You
determine the managed node character set by the character sets used in
your environment.
