Listing processed events

You can use the istool event listEvents command to list your processed events.

Purpose

The istool event listEvents command lists all events, events that happened before or after a certain date and time, or events that happened during a span of time.

To export all assets of all types, see Moving all assets from one metadata repository to another.

Prerequisites

You can list events for any event type that you have the required role to see. The suite administrator can list events for all event types.

Run the command from the engine tier or the client tier.

The preferred way to run this command is in the istool command-line window. If you run this command in your operating system command-line window or in scripts, you must add istool before the command name.

Command syntax

Optional parameters and values in the syntax are enclosed in brackets, [ ].

event listEvents
authentication parameters
[generic parameters] 
[-eventTypeName event_type_name]
[-begindate "begin_date_time"] 
[-enddate "end_date_time"]

Parameters

These parameters are specific to the istool event listEvents command. For authentication parameters and generic parameters, see Commands and common parameters for istool.

authentication parameters: Required. All asset interchange commands use authentication parameters to connect to a specific installation of InfoSphere Information Server.
generic parameters: The generic parameters are available to all asset interchange commands. Use the generic parameters to request help on command syntax, to specify silent or verbose operation, and to use a script to run commands.
-eventTypeName event_type_name: Specifies the name of the registered event type that generates the events that you want to list. If you do not specify the parameter, a list is returned of all events for all event types that you have the required role to see.; If the name of the file has an embedded space, enclose the name in double quotation marks (").
-begindate begin_date_time: If you specify this parameter, only events with a time stamp on or after the value specified are listed.; Enter the value in the following format: "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss".
-enddate end_date_time: If you specify this parameter, only events with a time stamp on or before the value specified are listed.; Enter the value in the following format: "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss".
