If you do not wish to set event log viewing options, use your pointing device and select QUIT.
Otherwise, use your pointing device and select the event log viewing option that will best display
transaction data for your monitoring purposes. Then use your pointing device and select OK.

The original transactions log prompt box will appear with all transaction data screened according
to the criteria you have set. With the screening criteria set above, transaction data would be
displayed as follows.

Once you have finished viewing the transactions log data, use your pointing device and select
QUIT to return to the TAP100 main menu.

Archiving a Transaction Log

For efficient data storage purposes, we recommend you periodically archive the transaction log.
This can allow you to maintain a set of unique transaction files for time periods that you can refer
to at a later date. For example, you could archive the transaction log once a month, naming the
archive file in a manner that identifies the time-period being archived (i.e. jan96.dbf and jan96.cdx
for the transaction log for the month of January, 1996).

To archive a transaction log, you will have to exit the TAP100 software and execute a series of
DOS commands.

From the TAP100 main menu, use your pointing device and select QUIT and then select YES/OK
to exit the program. Following the example above, at the DOS prompt type:

C:\PROXNET>

ren log.dbf jan96.dbf <ENTER>

After a short delay, the DOS prompt will return. Type:

C:\PROXNET>

ren log.cdx jan96.cdx <ENTER>

These DOS commands save the contents of the entire transaction log into two DOS files.

To restart the TAP100 software, at the DOS prompt type:

C:\PROXNET>

tap100 <ENTER>

When the TAP100 software starts, the default transaction files will be empty, ready for a new set
of transaction data.
