Some adapters have additional keywords specific to them. See each specific
adapter chapter for descriptions of these keywords. Adapters do not issue error
messages for misspelled keywords or keywords set to a value that is not valid. Do
not use blank spaces in keyword statements unless enclosed in single quotation
marks (however, you cannot use quotation marks at all with the HPOVFilter
keyword in the HPOV adapter). Do not use class names not defined in a BAROC
file with configuration options.
A configuration file can contain the following keywords, which are common to
most adapters:
AdapterCdsFile=path
Specifies the full path name of the CDS file. This keyword is required if the
CDS file is not in the same directory as the configuration file.
AdapterErrorFile=path
Specifies the full path name of the error file. This keyword is required if
the error file is not in the same directory as the configuration file.
BufEvtMaxSize
Specifies the maximum size, in kilobytes, of the adapter cache file. The
default value is 64. The cache file stores events on disk when they cannot
be sent to the event server.
The BufEvtMaxSize keyword is optional.
BufEvtPath
Specifies the full path name of the adapter cache file. On endpoint
adapters, the BufEvtPath keyword uses the $TIVOLIHOME variable to
resolve file location and drive letter differences over different environments
by using a path relative to the endpoint installation. The ACF defines
$TIVOLIHOME on each endpoint; you cannot change its value.

adapters do not use this keyword.
This keyword is required when the BufferEvents keyword is set to YES.
BufferEvents
Specifies whether or not event caching is enabled. If BufferEvents is set to
anything other than YES, events are not cached. The value is not
case-sensitive. The default value is YES.
The BufferEvents keyword is optional.
BufferFlushRate
Specifies the number of events sent per minute. Once the adapter has
recovered the lost connection, and there are events in the buffer, the events
are sent at this rate per minute. The default value is zero (0); all events are
sent in one burst.
The BufferFlushRate keyword is optional.
ConnectionMode
Specifies the connection mode to use to connect to the IBM Tivoli
Enterprise Console gateway or event server. Valid values are
