Configuring rate events to a user configured cell instead of cell

We have a large number of processing cells which process events, perform different operations on the events as per the defined rules, and forward the required events to the cell which is generally the presentation cell. Rate events like ALARM, ABNORMALITIES are currently send to BPPM cell. You can also configure which cell to send the Rate events to instead of the default cell.

To configure the cell, edit the pronet.rate.cell.cellName property in the installationDirectory\pw\pronto\conf\pronet.conf file. This property contains the name of the cell by default. 

Configuring rate events to a user configured cell instead of BPPM cell

To configure rate events to a different cell instead of cell perform the following steps:

1. Use mcrtcell command to create a new cell. Consider this as a rate cell.
2. Modify the pw\server\etc\<cell>\mcell.conf for this rate cell so that it contains :
   
   POMEnabled=No
3. Restart the rate cell.

4. Modify the pw\server\etc\<cell>\kb\rules\refine_multiple_server_events.mrl for the cell (jserver) so that the following rule is completely commented out:

   refine initialize_ppm_ev:
   PPM_EV ($EV)
   {
   if (listlen($EV.mc_history) != 0) then
   {
   $EV.pn_object_id = 0;
   $EV.pn_object_class_id = 0;
   $EV.pn_parameter_id = 0;
   opadd($EV, "Initialized PPM_EV slots specific to CI association", "");
   };
   }
   END

   
   

5. Recompile the Knowledge Base for the Infrastructure Management (jserver) cell.

6. Modify pw\custom\conf\pronet.conf so that parameter pronet.rate.cell.cellName contains the name of the rate cell.

7. Create a propagation policy or rule on the rate cell to propagate events to the Infrastructure Management (jserver) cell.

8. Restart Infrastructure Management server by using pw system start command.
