DEMS ALL GET RECORD
5.5.10 SET RECORD
This command can be used to set the time interval (minutes and seconds) at which
NOC-NEM will query for network element status and write the information to a
log file. (For a more thorough explanation, see the description for the
GET
RECORD
command, above.) The log file is the source of the information returned
in response to
GET PLAYBACK commands.
NOTE: You can set the SET RECORD time interval to zero, causing no records
to be kept. If no records are kept, POST MESSAGE and GET PLAYBACK will
provide no information because no information will be available to be retrieved.
To set the record interval
1. Enter a command in the following format
DEMS Site_Name SET RECORD mm:ss
(or)
DEMS Node_Number SET RECORD mm:ss
where Site_Name is the site name of the network element, Node_Number
is the Host Node or Remote Node value (as displayed in the Maintenance
interface View Catalog window), and
mm:ss is the desired setting in min-
utes and seconds. Use
Site_Name = ALL to set all network elements at the
same time.
2. Look for a response like this
1130 23-Mar-01 DEMS(37 Host.12)GracesFood SET RECORD \
30:00
END
which indicates that the time interval has been set (in the example, to 30 min-
utes and zero seconds).
Examples
DEMS MainTower SET RECORD 20:00
DEMS ALL SET RECORD 30:00
