Altering the DUMPLOG STATUS Attribute

The DUMPLOG STATUS attribute specifies the maximum time period in which you

will receive feedback from EMS Analyzer when it is searching for events. The feedback

is either an event message found or a status line indicating the current position, how

many events passed the filter and how many events were read.

In this example, a DUMPLOG

command is invoked. In the second line of the display,

EMS Analyzer shows the current position of the distributor, the number of events that

passed the filter (0) and the total number of events read (297). The next lines show that

EMS Analyzer found an event that meets the search criteria.

The default DUMPLOG STATUS attribute is 5 seconds.

You can set the DUMPLOG STATUS attribute to a longer time period or to OFF. This

command changes the DUMPLOG STATUS attribute to 10 minutes (600 seconds):

-> alter, status 600

This command turns off the DUMPLOG STATUS attribute; EMS Analyzer sends you

no feedback until it finds an event, or until the search is complete:

-> alter, status off

Removing the More Text Question

EMS Analyzer automatically freezes the screen when a full screen of information is

displayed. It prompts you with the More Text? (Y/N) question before proceeding. To set

the EMS Analyzer environment so that the screen display continues even if the bottom

of the screen is reached, type the following at the prompt:

-> pagesize -1 terminal

-> env

The pagesize value determines when the More text? (Y/N) question is asked. Moving

the value -1 means the question is not to be asked.

For more information on the PAGESIZE

command, see Section 5, Command

Descriptions.

You can use ENV

command to verify the global environment values.
