CAIENF Control Options › Control Options Summary - CAIENF › EVENT(event_name,option)

EVENT(event_name,option)

Controls processing for a specific event.

• If (event_name,options) is not entered, then the command presents a summary of all the events currently active.
• If just (event_name) is entered, then a detailed description of the event is presented.

Only one option can be specified on a single EVENT statement. If more than one option is required, specify multiple EVENT statements using different option operands on each. Valid options that can be entered on an EVENT statement are:

INACT

Deactivates the event.

ACT

Enables an INACTIVE event.

DUMP

Writes an SVC dump the next time the event occurs.

REC

Requests that data from this event be recorded on the database.

NOREC

Suppresses recording of data for this event on the database.

RP=nn

The number of days the event is to be retained on the database. This keyword can be used to override the DETAIL setting for a particular event. The value can be from 1 to 99.

PURGE=Y|N

PURGE=Y sets recorded events to PURGE only when their retention period has been met. PURGE=N sets recorded events to archive and then be purged after their retention period has been met. The PURGE flag is used during CAIENF archive processing. For more information, see the ARCHIVE control option.

The default is PURGE=N, however the default can be overridden by a DCM event definition. Base CAIENF events that are defined by DCMs distributed with CAIENF such as CAS9DCM0, are all set with a default of PURGE=N.

Note: When upgrading from CA Common Services r11, a utility can be used to create the new EVENT control option statements required for CA Common Services r12. For more information, go to Special DCM and EVENT Utility.
