Displaying Saved Event Messages
You can also run a printing distributor to display event messages saved in a log file. This example
shows how to use a LOGFILE parameter (instead of the COLLECTOR parameter) and a TIME
parameter to specify the generation time of the earliest messages you want to display:
EMSDIST /NAME $DIST1/ TYPE PRINTING, LOGFILE LOG1, &
TEXTOUT $TERM1, TIME 25 MAY 1998 10:30
You can stop the distributor by pressing Break and issuing the TACL STOP command, or you can
let the distributor run until it reaches the end of the log file.
Creating Event Filters
The examples under “Displaying Current Event Messages” and “Displaying Saved Event Messages”
display all generated event messages. In practice, you might want to filter out certain messages.
For information on writing event filters, see the EMS Manual.
