Properties file<br />
The properties file is a text file that contains a set of properties and their<br />
corresponding values. These properties define the operational environment of the<br />
gateway, such as connection details and the location of the other configuration<br />
files.<br />
Configuring the properties file<br />
Before running the gateway for the first time, you must configure the installed<br />
properties file.<br />
To configure the properties file, use the following steps:<br />
1. Copy the example properties file, NCO_GATE.props, fromthe<br />
$OMNIHOME/gates/snmp directory to the following directory: $OMNIHOME/etc.<br />
2. Edit the remaining values in the properties file to suit your operating<br />
environment.<br />
Properties and command line options<br />
You use properties to define the operational environment of the gateway. You can<br />
override the default values by editing the properties file.<br />
The following tables describe the properties available with the <strong>SNMP</strong> <strong>Writer</strong><br />
<strong>Gateway</strong>. For more information about generic and Inter-Process Communication<br />
(IPC) properties and command line options, see the <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Tivoli</strong> <strong>Netcool</strong>/<strong>OMNIbus</strong><br />
Probe and <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> (SC23-6387).<br />
The following sections describe the properties used to configure the gateway:<br />

Property name Command line option Description<br />
Help boolean -help boolean Use this property to instruct<br />
the gateway to display<br />
application help information<br />
on startup and exit.<br />
MaxLogFileSize integer -maxlogfilesize integer<br />
The default is FALSE.<br />
Use this property to specify<br />
the size (in bytes) that the<br />
gateway allocates for the log<br />
file. When the log file reaches<br />
this size, the gateway renames<br />
the log file by appending the<br />
name with the suffix .old and<br />
creates a new log file.<br />
