You can run EVLOG using default options or you can run EVLOG interactively to
select and modify specific options. Instructions for each run mode follow. The
options are described in the remainder of this chapter.
To Run EVLOG Using Default Options
Follow these steps to format a host-based X.25 log file using the default
options.
- Copy the file that you want to format to a different file name.
(Hewlett-Packard recommends that you treat log files as read-only files.
Copying to a new file name allows you to format the new file without
modifying the original log file.)
- At the MPE/iX prompt, enter the command:
:evlog logfilename
where logfilename is the name of the file created in
step 1.
These steps will cause the entire log file to be formatted with default
options.
To Run EVLOG Interactively
Follow these steps to format a host-based X.25 log file, to select options:
- Copy the file that you want to format to a different file name.
(Hewlett-Packard recommends that you treat log files as read-only files.
Copying to a new file name allows you to format the new file without
modifying the original log file.)
- At the MPE/iX prompt, enter either of the following commands:
:evlog
or
:evlog logfilename,n
where logfilename is the name of the file created in
step 1 and n is any non-zero PARM. For example
:evlog myfile,2
The following display will appear:
EVLOG C.00.00 001
File type = 7 (Version = A1200D00)
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values (MYFILE 0 records)
1 — File (1..0)
2 — Records (ALL)
3 — Event types (ALL)
4 — Subsystems (1..2147483647)
5 — Event Codes (ALL)

To Select Formatting Options
To select the formatting option that you want to change when running EVLOG
interactively, type the option number at the prompt. EVLOG will then prompt
you to enter additional information. The information required depends on the
option selected. Brackets displaying the current setting of the option are
included in the prompt. Each of the options is described, each description
includes an example of the option's use. User input is bold.
 |
NOTE: The formatter will use default values for any options not
specified by the user. The default values are listed in parentheses beside
each of the options.

Option 1: File
Use this option to open an event log file, if you did not specify a log file
name on the command line. Whenever a file is opened, the File option
will reflect file name and the number of records in the file. In the following
example, the log file logfile1, contains 15 records.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 1
Event log name []? logfile1
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)
2 — Records (1..0)

Option 2: Records
Use this option to select which record numbers to display. In the following
example, the user chooses to display records 2 through 5 of
the opened log file. Notice that the Records option displays the
records that were selected.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 2
First record [1]? 2
Last record [15]? 5
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)
2 — Records (2..5)

Option 3: Event Types
Use this option to restrict the records displayed to those of a specific event
type. In the following example, the user chooses to display only DTC events.
Following the selection, the Event types option displays a 3,
to signify the selection of event type 3, DTC events. (Note that not
all of the event types are meaningful for log files on host-based systems.)
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 3
Event types:
0 — ALL
1 — PC
2 — PC/DTC
3 — DTC
Event type [ALL]? 3
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)

. — . . . . . . . . . .
Option 4: Subsystems
Use this option to restrict the records displayed to those of a particular
subsystem. In the following example, the user selects the NMP subsystem.
Following the selection, the Subsystem option displays a 4,
to signify the selection of subsystem 4, NMP. (Note that not all of
the subsystem types are meaningful for log files on host-based systems.)
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 4
Subsystem numbers:
0 — All 4 — NMP 8 — OS
1 — Windows 5 — NMLIB 9 — RLS

4 — Subsystems (4)
. — . . . . . . . . . .
. — . . . . . . . . . .
. — . . . . . . . . . .
Option 5: Event Codes
Use this option to specify a range of event codes to be displayed. To specify
the codes, you may enter either the event code numbers or the mnemonics listed
in the prompt display. (The Options display will list the event code
numbers whether you select by number or by mnemonic.) In the following example,
the user chooses X.25 events by entering the mnemonic X25. Notice
that the event code numbers are shown in the resulting display.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 5
Event code mnemonics (use for First event code if desired:
COM (Common events) = 1 — 511
AOS (AOS events) = 512 — 1023
MGR (MANAGER) = 1024 — 1279
LAN = 1280 — 1525
AFCP = 1536 — 1791
ADCP = 1792 — 2303
TNR = 2304 — 2559
LNK (LINKMGR) = 2560 — 2815
TCP = 2816 — 3071
IP = 3072 — 3327
EXT (MGR_Extension events) = 3328 — 3583
L3 (X.25 level 3 events) = 3584 — 4095
L2 (X.25 level 2 events) = 4096 — 4607
PAD (X.25 PAD events) = 4608 — 5119

X25 (L2 + L3 events) = 3584 — 4607
X25PAD (X.25 + PAD events) = 3584 — 5119
Event code range: First event code [1]? X25
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)
2 — Records (2..5)
3 — Event types (3)

Option 6: Logical Channel Identifier (LCI)
Use this option to restrict the records displayed to those for a specific
Logical Channel Identifier. In the following example, the user presses
[RETURN] to accept the default of displaying all records.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 6
Logical Channel Identifier (LCI) (1-256 0 = ALL) [ALL]?
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)

. — . . . . . . . . . .
. — . . . . . . . . . .
Option 7: Virtual Port Number (VPN)
Use this option to restrict the records displayed to those for a particular
virtual port number (VPN). (Some PAD events contain the VPN but not the
corresponding LCI; some X.25 events contain the LCI but not the VPN. However,
some X.25 events contain both, so usually you can logically tie the two
together.) In the following example, the user presses [RETURN] to
accept the default of displaying all records.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 7
Logical Channel Identifier (LCI) (1—255 0 = ALL) [ALL]?
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)
2 — Records (2..5)
3 — Event types (3)
4 — Subsystems (4)
5 — Event codes (3584..4607)
6 — Logical Channel Identifier (LCI) (ALL)
7 — Virtual Port Number (VPN) (ALL)
. — . . . . . . . . . .
. — . . . . . . . . . .
. — . . . . . . . . . .
Option 8: Time/Offset Format
There are four types of timestamps in event log records. They are:
- HOST time
- The time the event was logged on the host (HP 3000). Found in event type
3 (DTC).
- PC time
- The time the event was logged on the OV DTC MGR PC. (This type is not
meaningful for log files created on systems using host-based network
management.)
- DTC CPU time
- The time the event was sent from the DTC. Found in event type 3
(DTC).
- DTC SNP time
- The time the event occurred on the SNP. Found in event type 3
(DTC)
Use this option to choose whether one of these timestamp types will be
displayed under the column labeled "Time/offset" or whether the offset will be
from the beginning of the file. In the example that follows, the user chooses
to display the time that events were logged on the host.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 8
Time formats:
1 — HOST
2 — PC
3 — DTC CPU
4 — DTC SNP
5 — Record offset
Time format [1]? 1
Options:
0 — Set all options back to their default values
1 — File (logfile1, 15 records)
2 — Records (2..5)
3 — Event types (3)
4 — Subsystems (4)
5 — Event codes (3584..4607)
6 — Logical Channel Identifier (LCI) (ALL)
7 — Virtual Port Number (VPN) (ALL)
8 — Time/offset format (Host time)
. — . . . . . . . . . .
. — . . . . . . . . . .
Option 9: Time/Offset
Use this option to specify a range of time to be displayed. This option is
available only for the HOST time. In the following example, the user selects a
time range from October 4 through October 5 of 1991 by responding to the
series of prompts. Note that, as usual, the current settings are displayed in
brackets in the prompts.
Enter number of option or <CR> to select current options: 9
HOST time range:
FROM year [1970]? 1991
month [1]? 10
day [1]? 4
hour [0]? 11

sec [0]?
TO: year [2020]? 1991
month [1]? 10
