MSGIN File
What is it?
MSGIN.ini provides the parameters the XP2 Connector uses to create OpCon events. Scripts that trigger events — such as SMAFetchControlNumber.pl, SMACheckConsoleLog.pl, and SMACaptureDatestamp.pl — read this file to determine where to place event files and which credentials to use.
- Configure this file before using any script that triggers OpCon events
- Update the
MSGINDirectorypath if the OpCon agent is installed in a non-default location

Glossary

External event password — A separate credential from the OpCon login password, used specifically for submitting events through MSGIN or the API. Configured in OpCon user settings.
