NAME

eventc - create a CORBA EventChannel and register it in the naming service

SYNOPSIS

eventc [-n channel-name] [-N factory-name] [-c nanoseconds] [-i id] [-p num] [-q num] [-R milliseconds] [-t repository-id] [-vh] [-ORBparameter value] [factory-uri]

DESCRIPTION

eventc contacts the omniEvents server to request an Event Channel. The Event Channel is created within the the omniEvents process. eventc then registers the created Event Channel with the Naming Service, and exits.

factory-uri: The factory may be specified as a URI. This may be an IOR, or a corbaloc::: or corbaname::: URI.

Example: eventc corbaloc::localhost:11169/omniEvents

If the factory-uri argument is not supplied, then the -N factory-name option is used to look up the server in the CORBA Name Service.

OPTIONS

-n channel-name

The default is EventChannel

-N factory-name

The CORBA Name Service name for the EventChannelFactory CORBA object. The default value is EventChannelFactory. This value is only used when the factory-uri argument is not supplied.

-c nanoseconds

Sets the CyclePeriod_ns parameter of the new event channel.

-i id

Set the InsName of new event channel, to enable access via corbaloc.

-p num

Sets the MaxNumProxies parameter of the new event channel.

-q num

Sets the MaxQueueLength parameter of the new event channel.

-R milliseconds
