set  [node node-id] event dispatcher -
         outbound stream simple-name ...

    Modifies the attributes for the event dispatcher outbound stream
    entity, which represents an outgoing connection to a sink on a
    local or remote node.  The modifiable attributes and their data
    types [in brackets] are:

    catch all filter [action]
    connect retry timer [seconds]
    connect timer enabled [boolean]
    disconnect timer [seconds]
    sink address [sink-address-tower]
    sink end user [end-user-spec]
    sink node [full-name]
    sink object [full-name]
    template [simple-name] (Tru64 UNIX)

    Refer to attributes for specific command examples.

1  –  catch_all_filter

    Default: Pass          Value: Block or pass

    Action to take if neither the specific filter nor the global
    filter contains an entry that matches an event.

    block      Discard the event.

    pass       Report the event.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        catch all filter block-or-pass

    Example:

    set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
        catch all filter pass

2  –  connect_retry_timer

    Default: 120           Value: 0-65535

    Number of seconds to wait after a disconnect or connection reject
    before reattempting a connection. Connection attempts continue
    until a connection is made or until the connect timer enabled
    attribute is set to false or the outbound stream is disabled.
    If the outbound stream is already connected to the sink when
    the timer expires, no connection is attempted at that time. The
    timer resets and connection attempts continue whenever the timer
    expires.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        connect retry timer integer

    Example:

    set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
        connect retry timer 130, connect timer enabled true

3  –  connect_timer_enabled

    Default: True          Value: True or false

    Specifies whether the connect timer is operational (see connect
    retry timer).

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        connect timer enabled boolean

    Example:

    set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
        connect retry timer 130, connect timer enabled true

4  –  disconnect_timer

    Default: 0; see        Value: 0-4294967295
    following description

    Number of seconds to wait before disconnecting an idle
    connection. Zero indicates that there is no disconnect timer
    and connections are never automatically disconnected.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        disconnect timer integer

    Example:

    set event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream -
        disconnect timer 4294967295

5  –  sink_address

    Default: No address    Value: Sink address tower set

    Sink address tower for this stream. Modifying this characteristic
    affects only subsequent connect requests; existing connections
    are unaffected.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        sink address {towerset}

6  –  sink_end_user

    Default: Number = 82   Value: End-user specification

    Sink session control end user specification for this stream.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        sink end user end-user-spec

    Example:

    set event disp out stream local_stream sink end user number = 82

7  –  sink_node

    Default: Local node    Value: Full-name

    Full DNS node name of the sink for this stream. Modifying this
    characteristic affects only subsequent connect requests; existing
    connections are unaffected. This fullname is used in combination
    with the sink end user characteristic to establish the sink
    connection.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        sink node full-name

    Example:

    set event disp out stream lamchp_stream sink node LOCAL:.LAMCHP

8  –  sink_object

    Default: No sink object       Value: Full-name

    Full DNS object name of the sink for this stream. Modifying this
    characteristic affects only subsequent connect requests; existing
    connections are unaffected. This fullname should match the object
    name characteristic of the target sink.

    set [node node-id] event dispatcher outbound stream stream-name -
        sink object full-name

9  –  template (Tru64 UNIX)

    Default: No template   Value: Simple name

    Transport template (see osi transport template) for this stream's
    connections.
