Result

During a fresh installation or an upgrade, based on the Connector Mode, POM does the following:

  • Reads the settings in PIMEventCodeType file.

  • Inserts the eventsetting in the pim_event_setting table in the POM database.

  • Updates the new entries in the pim_event_setting table in the POM database.

  • Generates alarms based on the setting you apply.

  • Utilizes a buffer time of 5 minutes if POM has not read the eventsetting.
