Hi Christian, all, ${SPECROOT}/custom/Events/ is the base directory for the files you mentioned. You can have AlertMap and EventDisp directly within that directory and/or within subdirectories. The subdirectories directories may also have custom names, not just modeltype specific. As usual, there are up- and downsides: using subdirectories you end up having smaller files allowing for better separation and maintenance while working without subdirectories makes keeping track of custom event IDs more easy. Anyway, OneClick Event Configuration will read all files including those within subdirectories but will still remove any formatting/comments from your files when used for editing.

Traditionally, AlertMap and EvenDisp files had been edited by hand in their original location $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/ etc. To provide for updates to run more smoothly, it is about time to use customized Trap-to-event and Event-to-alarm mappings into the custom directory structure. I understand that every configuration line for the same trap oid or the same event handle placed in the custom directory takes precedence over the one in the CsVendor directory tree. What I don't get is excactly what files SPECTRUM expects to contain the custom entries and where they should be placed. Docs say, custom EventDisp files must be placed under $SPECROOT/custom/Events, while custom AlertMap files are requested to be found under $SPECROOT/custom/Events/AlertMap. Does the last term refer to a directory name or some sort of "global" custom AlertMap file? In this case, I would assume that a corresponding global EventDisp file (Model Type independent) has to be placed as $SPECROOT/custom/Events/EventDisp. _Or_ am I required to build a directory structure similar to the one in the CsVendor directory? If so, do I have to do this twice - one, for my AlerMap files under $SPECROOT/custom/Events/AlertMap and two, for my EventDisp files under $SPECROOT/custom/Events directly? Currently, in SPECROOT/custom/Events, I only have directories for custom Event Text and Probable Cause files which I have been using for many years now. Frankly, I have difficulties to understand the CA documentation in this case. And I have no SPECTRUM installation at hand that has been customized in a more sophisticated way compared to mine. ;-) Thanks in advance!
