Setting export preferences

To set the directory preferences, click Preferences or, from the main menu, click File > Preferences, and then from the left pane of the Preferences window, click Export.

• In the Include path field, specify the location of the rules that were installed with the Netcool Include Library (NCiL) rules file packages (if they are installed). This option is only required if you are exporting data in the Netcool Include Library file format and when the directory path must point to included rules. As a result, the new rules files do not need to be edited manually. The default value is NCHOME/omnibus/probes/arch.
• In the Default export file format field, specify either a Windows/DOS format (CRLF) or Unix format (LF) for the output file. This property allows you to create rules on a Windows machine and copy them to a UNIX machine without running a utility such as dos2unix.
  Note: This selection applies to all output files and is not restricted to the rules files. The default value is Unix format.
• In the Alert types field, specify the drop-down list options displayed when a trap's @Type field is edited in the Detail view.

The following options are only available if the NCKL export format was previously selected:

• If the Include varbind descriptions check box is selected, the varbind descriptions are added as comment documentation. The default value is enabled.
• If the Calculate a better value for @AlertKey check box is selected, the @AlertKey value is generated from a varbind parent object. The default value is enabled.
• If the Set @Agent once per enterprise check box is selected, the @Agent field is set for each enterprise. The @Agent field is based on the names of the MIB modules being processed for the rules file. The default value is enabled.
• If the Add @Class template check box is selected, the @Class field is set. If the Add @Class template check box is selected, the @Class field is set to 300. The default value is enabled.
