Hi, I can get prior days info by issuing a: q event * * type=client begindate=06/13/2003 endd=today exceptions only=y but looking directly at the EVENTS table it contains no data prior to the current date. I assume the above command goes against the activity log, since it returns 'uncertain' for days earlier than the life of the events log.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/23/03 10:50AM >>> You need to specify values for the SCHEDULED_START and/or ACTUAL_START columns in order to get older data from the EVENTS table. You could do this via a script that calculates today's date - n days, and plugs that into a SELECT statement. Or just go with QUERY EVENTS. The difficulties in getting the EVENTS table to work with dates other than today have been discussed on ADSM-L in the past. Also see APAR IC34609 for additional info.

Thanks; the EVENTS table seems to only status dor the current day. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/23/03 10:27AM >>> For client operations, the SUCCESSFUL column name is a bit of a misnomer. as it really just indicates whether the communications between server and client terminated successfully (I believe that this maps to the "normal server termination indicator" field in the account log records). For monitoring client status, use QUERY EVENT FORMAT=DETAILED or the EVENTS table. See the section on client return codes in the "Automating tasks" chapter of the client manual for additional info about client status reporting.

Anyone know how to interpret this column correctly?
