ADAELP (Event Log Report)

This document describes the utility "ADAELP".

The following topics are covered:

Functional Overview

The ADAELP utility prints events from an event log created by Adabas Analytics.

Note:
Event logging must be enabled in order to write event logs. For further information see the section ADAELA (Event Analytics Administration) in the Utilities documentation.

The ADAELP parameters USER_ID, HOSTNAME and EVENT_TIMESTAMP select a subset of the events in the event log.

In the interactive mode, ADAELP displays the selected events when the keyword LIST is entered. If ADAELP is called with parameters, the selected events are displayed immediately.

Events are displayed as follows: a first line with the event type is followed by lines that contain the field data of the event in question. The display of an event is concluded with the event type being repeated on the last line.

Example output

start read event
  event_timestamp=16-JUL-2015 11:51:01.977020
  dbid=163
  file_number=1
  command_code=L5
  response_code=0
  isn=993
  pid=6772
  hostname=PCST01
  user_id=st
  tsid=68 ba 56 02 fb 1a 05 00
end read event

This utility is a single-function utility. For more information about single- and multi-function utilities, Adabas Basics, Using Utilities.

Control Parameters

The following control parameters are available:

D    DBID = number

    EVENT_TIMESTAMP = ([absolute-date][,[absolute-date]])

    HOSTNAME = string

    LIST

    USER_ID = string

DBID

DBID = number

This parameter specifies the database ID of the database for which the event log was written.

EVENT_TIMESTAMP

EVENT_TIMESTAMP = ([absolute-date][,[absolute-date]])

This parameter selects the log records in the range specified by the optional date strings. The date strings must correspond to the following absolute date and time format: 

dd-mmm-yyyy[:hh:mm:ss[.mmmmmm]]

Leading zeroes in the date and time specification may be omitted. Any numbers not specified are set to 0, for example 28-jul-2015 is equivalent to 28-jul-2015:00:00:00.000000.

By default, all log records are selected.

Examples:

adaelp: event_timestamp = 8-aug-2015

The event with event_timestamp 8-AUG-2015 00:00:00 is selected. 

adaelp: event_timestamp = (8-aug-2015:12,)

All events with time_stamp from 8-AUG-2015 12:00:00 onwards are selected. 

adaelp: event_timestamp = (,8-aug-2012:12:34)

All events with time_stamp before 8-AUG-2015 12:34:00 are selected. 

adaelp: event_timestamp = (16-JUL-2015 11:51:01.977020, 16-JUL-2015 11:51:02.177000)

All events with event_timestamp from 16-JUL-2015 11:51:01.977020 to 16-JUL-2015 11:51:02.177000 are selected.

HOSTNAME

HOSTNAME = string

This parameter selects all events with the hostname specified by 'string'. The length of the parameter value is limited to 8 characters.

LIST

LIST

This parameter lists the events selected with the parameters DBID, EVENT_TIMESTAMP, HOSTNAME and USER_ID.

USER_ID

USER_ID = string

This parameter selects all events with the user ID specified by 'string'. The length of the parameter value is limited to 8 characters.

Specifying Multiple Selection Criteria

If multiple selection criteria are specified, they are combined by a logical AND, e.g. 

event_timestamp=(8-aug-2015:12:34,), user_id = guest, hostname  = machine3

This selects all events after 8-aug-2015:12:34 with user_id= guest and hostname=machine3.
