Operation History Viewer
Studying Events in the Grid
You can use these commands to study the details of an event selected in the grid. If
you are viewing a live event feed, you can pause it, to make it easier to select an event.
! File > Pause Pauses a live event feed. You can then scroll through the
events.
Notes:
! If you do not pause a live feed view when scrolling events in a
live session, your view moves to the end of the event list each
time a new event comes in.
! You can pause a live view for a maximum of 200 seconds. If you
exceed this time, then you must restart the live view session.
! When you click New, Open, Save, Save As, Session
Properties..., or Event Properties... from the File menu, the
application automatically pauses the event feed. Once the
action is complete, the application resumes the event feed
without any loss of events generated during the action.
! File > Event Properties Opens the Event Properties dialog box. This
displays the details of the selected event. See Event Properties Dialog Box
on page 8-21.
! File > Resume Resumes a live event feed that has been paused.
Saving a Session
File > Save Saves the session using the standard Windows method. You can
select to save in one of two formats:
! Session Files (*.SSN) Saves only a session's properties. You can modify
the properties to create different event viewing scenarios.
! Snapshot Files (*.SNP) Saves a session's properties and the event data
matching these properties. The system purges the operation history
database periodically. However, by creating a snapshot file, you can keep
the event data for as long as you require.
Exporting Events
You can also export operation history events to view, query and search the data using
alternate tools, for example, text editors and database querying tools. For this
procedure, see Export Operation History Events Dialog Box on page 8-27.
