Optional EVT Command Line Flags


You can run the EVT utility with various options as described in Table 17.

NOTE:  On MS Windows, r is a required flag; all other flags are optional.

Table 17.  Flags Used with EVT
Flag
Description

h

Prints a help message with a list of all the flags you can use with the EVT utility.

g

Name of the Siebel Gateway Name Server. If not provided, EVT picks up the name of the Siebel Gateway Name Server from the Siebel Server configuration file; for example, enu\siebel.cfg.

s

Name of the Siebel Server. If not provided, EVT determines the name of the server from the siebenv.bat file.

e

Name of the Enterprise Server. If not provided, EVT determines the name of the Enterprise Server from the Siebel Server configuration file; for example, enu\siebel.cfg.

u

Username to use to log in to Server Manager. The default username is sadmin.

p

Password to log in to Server Manager. The default password is sadmin.

NOTE:  If any of the srvrmgr parameters are provided incorrectly, EVT will not be able to check Siebel Server parameters. To print the details of root cause, use the -d SHOWERRORS flag.

r

Required. Specifies the path to SIEBEL_ROOT. Default is current directory.

o

Format of the output. EVT can generate outputs in several formats: TEXT (default), TEXTFILE, HTML, and HTMLFILE.

d

Run the script in debug mode. Supported debug levels are shown in order of verbosity, starting with the least verbose level (See examples of this flag as follows.):

DEFAULT. (Default) Prints only check for pass/fail/not executed.

EXPLAIN. Prints description of what has been checked and why. If a check could not be run, no explanation is given. If a check executed and found an error, it would report the corrective actions to be taken.

SHOWERRORS. Prints the same information as EXPLAIN, but, in addition, prints any errors encountered that prevented a check from executing. For example, if the check included verification of a particular file having been executed, but the file does not exist, SHOWERRORS provides the error that prevented execution.

SHOWCOMMENTS. Prints the same out put as SHOWERRORS, but, in addition, prints more detailed information about how the check was implemented. This is essentially debug information, for example: Got value A from file X, etc.

EVTLOG. Prints the same output as SHOWCOMMENTS, but, in addition, prints the execution log for EVT. This output is primarily useful to EVT developers.

l

Output directory to which report are written.

t

Type of server to check (Siebel Server [SIEBSRVR], Siebel Gateway Name Server [GTWYNS], Siebel Database Server [DBSERVER], Siebel Web Server Extension [SWSE], Siebel CORBAOM [CORBAOM]).

For example, if -t SWSE is defined, then EVT runs only Web server-related checks and those checks that can be run on any type of server, such as JRE.

f

Location of central evt.ini file. The default is the current directory.

q

Run EVT in query mode. See Running EVT in Query Mode.

w

Location of Web server installation.

NOTE:  If you do not provide -e, -g, -s, -u, and -p options, EVT tries to query information from the configuration files under the ENU directory.

Example 1

Launching evt, using a custom .ini and generating HTML output.

evt.exe -f evt_cust.ini -o HTML > output.html

Example 2

Launching evt, using a custom .ini and generating HTML output with details on what commands were run, what files were opened, and so on.

evt.exe -f evt_cust.ini -o HTML -d SHOWCOMMENTS > output_debug.html
