Monitoring the event log

You can use the Event Log view to view all events in a single view, for a selected subscription or for all connected servers.

About this task

All source server, target server, and subscription events can be displayed in the view. Events can be sorted, filtered, and exported.

Procedure

  1. Click on the subscription in the Subscriptions view, and the events related to the subscription will be shown in the Event Log view. If the Event Log view is not already in the list of displayed views then select Window > Show View > Event Log.
  2. Keep the subscription highlighted if you want to see events for the subscription. If you want to see events for all connected servers, deselect the subscription before proceeding to the next step.
  3. To obtain the most up-to-date events for the last hour, click the Refresh current events button. To retrieve events for another time period, click the Retrieve Events button and select one of the time frames, or select Custom.
    1. If you select Custom, the Retrieve Events dialog allows you to specify the date and time of the oldest event to retrieve and a maximum number of events to retrieve.
    2. The Refresh current events button is unavailable when custom event retrieval is specified. To use the refresh action again, you must reset the Retrieve Events setting to a predefined value (Last Hour, or Last 6 Hours, and so on). The latest events will then be retrieved, and subsequent refreshes are possible again.
  4. The events in the event view are retrieved from the servers and stored in Classic Data Architect memory. If you are not connected to either a source or target server, the filtering options for the unavailable server are disabled and the messages for the disconnected server are not displayed. When viewing events for all connected servers, no subscription events are displayed.
