EventStart

The EventStart verb signals the start of an update event. The status of the PowerCubes involved in the event is changed from Free to UpdateInProgress, and the event name is written to a log file. There is no user interface equivalent for this verb.

The log file is a file that is created whenever you run a Cognos® Transformer model. It has the same root name as the Cognos Transformer model but with a .log extension.

In IBM® Cognos, you do not specify a client/server platform type.

The syntax is as follows:

EventStart [EventName]

Argument
