Error notify Object Class and Error ID

ITEM: RTA000071047

According to the manual "Problem Solving Guide & Reference"(SC23-               
2403-03, Page 7-12), the Error Knotification Object Class contains              
some descriptors including ERROR ID. But looking into this object               
class by odme command, the field of the descriptor "ERROR ID" cannot            
be shown. Other descriptors mentioned in the manual are all displayed.          
                                                                                
When to add a user-defined Notify Method to one specific error,                 
I'm afraid I cannot assciate this method with certain error, as                 
far as I cannot specify the Error ID with the method.                           
For example, when to add 1 entry to this class, I can specify                   
an Error Label associated with 1 method. But some errors have the               
same label, and the method I added might be executed when the samely            
labeled errors take place.                                                      
                                                                                
Q1. Missing the "Error ID" field in "errnotify" object class is                
    defect? Or any change with the specification?                               
    My AIX is 3.2.5.                                                            
Q2. If Q1 isn't defect, how do I do to define 1 method to 1 specific            
    error?                                                                      
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
   The Error ID field in the odm object class 'errnotify' does exist            
   in AIX 3.2.5.  On our systems we are at 3.2.5 and here is how I              
   changed the Error ID field.                                                  
                                                                                
   First of all the Error ID field we seek is not labeled 'error_id'            
   but it called 'en_crcid'.  This field in the object class can be             
   set to a specific error id as noted in the '/usr/include/sys/errids/h'       
   file or set to 0 to catch all ID associated with a Label.                   
                                                                                
   To change the Error Id field I performed the following:                      
                                                                                
   1) odme /etc/errnotify                                                       
   2) Retrieve/Edit                                                             
   3) Tab once to the 'en_crcid' column and type the error id into the          
      appropriate field for the error you want to monitor.                      
                                                                                
   That should do it, by the way the 'en_crcid' column is on the very           
   left of the screen after you hit the TAB key once in the                     
   Retrieve/Edit screen.                                                        
                                                                                
S e a r c h - k e y w o r d s:
