Launching the EVT Utility

The EVT executable program is installed under the bin subdirectory of $SIEBSRVR_ROOT. The command name is evt.exe for Windows or evt for UNIX operating systems.

You can run this executable with different options selected, based on what part of your environment you want to check.

NOTE:  For more information about using EVT, see also Technical Note 467 on Siebel SupportWeb.

Review the following topics to determine how to edit the evt.ini file and to use command-line options:

• About the EVT Configuration File
• Optional EVT Command Line Flags (includes command examples)
• Available EVT Output Formats

The evt.ini file contains all the approved checks. If you need to add any checks or modify any of the existing checks, make a copy of the file and make your modification in the new file. Then run EVT using the -f option, as described in Optional EVT Command Line Flags, to direct EVT to use the new configuration file.

To launch EVT

1. Verify that permissions for the EVT executable program are set to 755.
2. Navigate to $SIEBEL_ROOT and source the Siebel environment variables, using one of the following commands, depending on the type of shell you use:

   Bourne or Korn shell

   . ./siebenv.sh

   TIP:   Make sure there is a space between the initial period and ./siebenv.sh.

   C shell

   source siebenv.csh

3. Make $SIEBSRVR_ROOT/bin the current directory.
4. Enter an EVT command, as follows:

   ./evt

   NOTE:  You can include any desired flags, as described in Optional EVT Command Line Flags.
