EMS EventBX / List-Import-Export

 

 

The EMS EventBX / List-Import-Export screen provides for 1) a list definitions, 2) import of definitions and 3) export of the definitions.

 

A list of current definitions displaying the Owner.SubSystem.Event Nbr is obtained by pushing Request List. Clicking an item in the list jumps to the Define screen and displays the record.

 

Existing information may be exported. The Rich-Text format is internal to MOMI and used to move data from one MOMI environment to another. The plain-text format is a simple open format.

 

To move EventBX data from one MOMI environment to another. Under Export, select Export formatted (Rich-Text) to create a file. Connect to another MOMI environment and then select Import. Options are provided to completely replace any existing definitions, just overwrite existing definitions (which leaves existing non-matching data alone) or don't replace any existing definitions. Note that the exact same MOMI PC Client version must be used for both export and import.

 

Export non-formatted records creates an ASCII text file using one line per record with the following format:

Owner <ETB> SubSystem <ETB> Event Nbr <ETB> Text <CRLF>

 

Where -

Owner is the overall creator of the record (i.e. Tandem, BWS, etc...)

SubSystem is the particular group of software generating the record (i.e. Pathway, Storage, etc...)

Event Nbr is the particular message being generated

Text is the line-by-line of information

 

ETB is the ASCII control character with the value 23

CRLF are the ASCII control characters carriage return line feed with the values of 13 + 10

 

Any embedded CRLF within Text is converted to an ETX with a value of 3
