Note
The mposter
and msend
commands can both be used to send or modify events, but mposter
also can be used to send or modify data.
Use the msend
command to manage events in a cell. Use the mposter
command to manage data and events in a cell. You can create and modify data instances and events by using the mposter
command.
BMC recommends that you use the msend
command instead of the mposter
command when you do not need to access or modify dynamic data or global records. The msend
command is a more secure command because it is more restrictive than mposter
.
Warning
BMC does not support using the mposter
command to create or edit service model configuration items. Although it is possible to use the mposter
command to create and edit the service model class instances on a cell, these changes are made to only the BAROC service model running on the cell, not to the cell's standard (reference) published service model in the CMDB. This causes a loss of service model integrity and subsequent service model publishings will fail.
