application subsystems. Entry of a subsystem also requires entry of the designated EMS Owner in a
designated input text box below the list of subsystems (‘TANDEM’ is placed automatically when you click on
any of the displayed internal subsystems).
 Option(s): Select one or more from the list of available options. Some options require you to set a value for
their parameter. These are self-explanatory, such as setting the CPU number, for option “CPU n”. You may
select multiple options, but each option may only be selected once. For instance you cannot enter “CPU 0,
CPU 1”. To select an option, click on its entry in the list box. This carries the option to the entry area above
the list box. You may then change the parameter value as necessary.
 Owner: This condition sets the Owner of the EMS Subsystem. When you click on any of the displayed
Subsystem, Web ViewPoint automatically puts a ‘TANDEM’ entry here, as it will be required. You may enter
any other values as required for other in-house subsystems you may have entered earlier.
 Event(s): Specify a set (zero, one or more) of comma separated Event numbers you are interested in. (Note:
Please ensure there are no spaces between the numbers).
There is a radio option of Pass or Fail displayed to the left of the above criteria. This option applies to selections
for Subsystems, Options, Owner, and Event number. A Pass selection displays only the Events that meet/pass the
criteria. A Fail displays only those that fail to meet the criteria.
Pass and Fail options do not apply to Filter file and String settings. Consider the String setting as the top level test.
Those that pass this test (if any), are then passed through the Filter file (if any). Given a Filter file setting, criteria
settings are then applied against messages that fail the Filter file(s). Given no Filter file, then the criteria is applied
to all messages that meet the String setting.
String: This is where you may enter a string of characters which Web ViewPoint should match in the text of each
message. You can also elect whether the match logic should be case sensitive.
Note: The following characters are not allowed in the search string ‘: / ?& =’
C. Display: This area is designated for you to determine display options and formats for messages meeting the
above criteria. Following items are available:
Up To: Specify how many Event messages should be displayed per Window. Once the selected Event messages are
displayed, you will have navigation buttons (next/switch) buttons available to retrieve more data. Also specify the
sort order for the displayed information, and whether duplicate data should be displayed. Events are considered
to be duplicates if they have the same Subsystem, Event number, and Subject token. Please note when ‘From and
To’ dates are specified, this ‘Up to’ setting will not apply.
From and/or To:Specify a date and/or time range to be used by Web ViewPoint to retrieve messages for. You may
specify either a ‘From’ date/time, or ‘To’ date/time or both. Dates may be selected off the calendar control (click
on its icon), or typed in (yyyy-mm-dd). Time may be typed in (hh:mm:ss) manually. You may enter time next to a
date (e.g. 2004-01-01 13:00:00), or by itself. Today’s date is assumed when a date entry is absent.
If needed, you may click on the Reset button to reset all selections to your last selected settings.
