RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)
Output Displayed
The LIST command displays the records in the file, including their record number (if the DISPLAY
function is enabled) and the event logged in the record: the date and time of the event, the files
involved in the event, and the event itself.
Examples
Suppose you want to display the first four messages (starting at record 500) that contain the
match pattern $AU02. You interact with RDFSCAN by entering the AT, MATCH, and LIST
commands:
Enter the next RDFSCAN function you want: AT 500
File: $SYSTEM.SANFRAN.RDFLOG, current record: 500,
last record: 2955
Enter the next RDFSCAN function you want: MATCH *$AU02*
File: $SYSTEM.SANFRAN.RDFLOG, current record: 500,
last record: 2955, Pattern: *AU02*
Enter the next RDFSCAN function you want: LIST 4
Record number: 553
2004/06/08 04:13:49 \LAB1 $AU02 790 Backup Process
Created in Processor 03
Record number: 554
2004/06/08 04:13:49 \LAB1 $AU02 718 Switched to original
Primary Processor
Record number: 792
2004/06/08 05:01:35 \LAB1 $AU02 790 Backup Process Created
in Processor 03
Record number: 793
2004/06/08 05:01:35 \LAB1 $AU02 718 Switched to original
Primary Processor
File: $SYSTEM.SANFRAN.RDFLOG, current record: 794, last

Enter the next RDFSCAN function you want:
LOG
The LOG command selects a file to which subsequent LIST commands copy their output in
addition to the standard output device. When you issue the LOG command followed by a LIST
command, RDFSCAN continues to display the LIST records on the standard device and also
copies them to the file specified in the LOG command.
LOG [\system.][$volume.][subvolume.]file
\system
identifies the system on which the destination file is located.
$volume
identifies the disk volume on which the destination file is located.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume in which the destination file is located.
file
identifies the destination file for the records.
Usage Guidelines
The LIST command always transmits its output to the standard output device for RDFSCAN,
which is normally your terminal. When you specify a destination file in the LOG command,
RDFSCAN directs subsequent LIST command output to that destination file as well as producing
it on the standard output device. That is, with the LOG command, LIST output goes both to your
terminal and the file specified in LOG.
