Input

The Event Counter Utility connects to Sterling Connect:Direct® servers based on information in the input file in the IBM/ControlCenter/utils directory. The default input file is named EventCounter.csv, but a different filename can be specified when you run the utility. You can edit the default file with a text editor or a spreadsheet program.

The input file contains the following connection information that is used by the Event Counter Utility:

  • Server Address (Host name or IP Address)
  • IP Port (must be a number)
  • User ID
  • Password

Header information is included for each field, and connection information is separated by commas. Any line that starts with a double slash (//) is treated as a comment and is skipped. The following example shows a sample input file for the Event Counter Utility:
