Dumping Events into a File
Dumping Events Into a CSV File
To set the EMS Analyzer environment so that all selected EMS event messages are
written to a CSV file, type the following at the prompt:
-> alter, eventdb csv $data.emsacsv.emsadb1 purge
-> dumplog
This command sets the event database attribute to the desired CSV file name, which is
purged (if it exists) and created. EMS Analyzer replaces the commas within fields with
spaces before writing the record to the CSV file.
The DUMPLOG command starts the search.
For the complete syntax of the ALTER
command and modifying the event database
attribute, see Section 5, Command Descriptions
.
Example
Suppressing Event Display of Events While Writing to a
Database or CSV File
You can set the EMS Analyzer environment so that all selected EMS event messages are
written to an Enscribe database or CSV file and not to the screen. Make sure to set up
the EVENTDB attribute and then type the following at the prompt:
-> alter, format
-> dumplog
This command sets the format attribute to the null value, indicating that selected events
are not to be displayed on the screen.
When the format attribute is set to the null value, make sure there is a specified database
to dump events to (by using the ALTER
command on the EVENTDB attribute).
The DUMPLOG command starts the search.
Example
DISTRIBUTOR $Y202 -> alter, eventdb csv $data.emsacsv.emsadb1 purge
EMSA DISTRIBUTOR $Y202 altered: EVENTDB attribute
