An Event Dispatcher Outbound Stream entity represents an outgoing
   connection to a sink on a local or remote node. An Outbound Stream
   entity manages the connection to the sink, and it filters, processes,
   and transmits events to the sink.

     CATCH ALL FILTER
         Default: Pass                         Value: Pass or Block

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

         PASS  - Report the event.

         BLOCK - Discard the event.

     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.

     ENABLE CONNECT TIMER
         Default: True                         Value: True or False

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

     DISCONNECT TIMER
         Default: 0                             Value: 0-4294967295

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

     SINK END USER
         Default: Number=82                     Value: end-user-specification

         Sink session control end user specification for this stream.

     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.

     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.

     CONFIDENCE CHANGES

         Number of times the confidence variable has changed while
         connections were in the open state.

     CONNECT REQUESTS

         Number of times a connection to a remote node was requested by this
         stream, either by an explicit command or by the connection timer.

     CONNECTIONS ACCEPTED

         Number of times an outbound connection request was accepted by the
         sink partner.

     DISABLED

         Number of disable events for this stream.

     ENABLED

         Number of enable events for this stream.

     EVENTS LOST

         Number of events lost because of Outbound Stream buffer overrun.

     FILTER CHANGES

         Number of times the filter has changed.

     SHUTDOWNS

         Number of times a shutdown command or operation was issued.

3  –  status

     BUFFER SIZE

         Maximum number of octets allowed for event processing of this
         stream. This value is defined in the create command for the stream.

     STATE

         Status of the Outbound Stream.

         OFF -                 The stream is disabled.

         ON -                  The stream is enabled.

         ONCONNECTED -         The stream is enabled and has an established
                               connection.

         ONCONNECTING -        The stream is enabled and is in the process
                               of establishing a connection.

         ONDISCONNECTING -     The stream is enabled, but is in the process
                               of disconnecting from a connection.

         ONSHUTDOWNREQUESTED - The stream is enabled and has an established
                               connection, but is in the process of shutting
                               down; the stream will disconnect after it
                               transmits all events that were outstanding
                               when the shutdown command was issued.
