Using the Connector Events Client Tool

You sign in to the connector events client tool through the login window. Once you have successfully signed in, you can perform any of the introspection operations without creating an event session. All error messages are displayed in the bottom pane. If you receive an error message that is not explained sufficiently, you can look in the debug log file of the tool to obtain more information.

The buttons that enable you to create a new event session prohibit you from entering an invalid sequence or combination (such as starting event delivery without opening a session). Once you start receiving events, the event sequence numbers for received events appear in the Event List window. If you select an event sequence number, the event details for that event appear in the Event Data window. Additionally, the XML content for all received events is automatically created as an XML file in the tool's log directory, regardless of whether you select the sequence number for the event.

To use the tool, you must build, configure, and then run the tool. The tool is shipped to you as source code so that you can inspect the usage of the connector events APIs. You can find the entire source code in a single jar file: connector_samples_src.jar. This file should be located in the <Windows client generation machine installation directory>/system/classes/samples folder.
