Launching the EVT Utility

The EVT executable program (evt.exe) is installed under the bin subdirectory of SIEBSRVR_ROOT. You can run this executable with different options selected, based on what part of your environment you want to check.

For details on how to use EVT on previous releases, see 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
• Available EVT Output Formats
• Launching the EVT Utility

To launch EVT

1. 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 use the -f option, as described in Table 17, to point EVT to use the new configuration file. For details on content of the evt.ini file see About the EVT Configuration File.
2. Open a command window.
3. Navigate to the SIEBSRVR_ROOT\BIN directory and run evt.exe with any valid flags, as described in Optional EVT Command Line Flags.

Example

Launching EVT using custom .ini and generating HTML output:

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

Launching EVT with -f, -o, and -d options to use custom .ini, generate HTML output with details on what command were run, what files were opened, and so on:

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