EVT.MDX file would be archived as 01JUL97.MDX.
Generating Reports from an Archived Event Log
There are two ways to generate a report from an archived event log depending upon how the
event log was archived.
If the event log was included as part of a periodic Doors software backup, the report
generation process involves restoring the backed-up installation to a temporary folder,
running the archived Doors program to access the report function, and then deleting the
temporary folder.
If the event log was archived by itself, the report generation process involves several steps.
1. Rename the current event log files to temporary file names.
REN EVT.DBF TEMP.DBF <ENTER>
REN EVT.MDX TEMP.MDX <ENTER>
2. Copy the archived log files to the default event log file names.
COPY 01JUL97.DBF EVT.DBF <ENTER>
COPY 01JUL97.MDX EVT.MDX <ENTER>
3. Run the desired report in the Doors program.
4. Delete the default event log files.
DEL EVT.DBF <ENTER>
DEL EVT.MDX <ENTER>
5. Rename the temporary file names to the default event log file names. The program is now
restored to its original configuration.
REN TEMP.DBF EVT.DBF <ENTER>
REN TEMP.MDX EVT.MDX <ENTER>
Done incorrectly, either of these processes can damage the event logs or the Doors operating
software. An operator must perform these steps carefully. Keri Systems recommends
contacting your dealer for assistance in performing this operation.
