Obtain Operation Details

You can use the following methods to obtain operation details:

• Specify the -o argument with etautil to display operational details to your standard output device (stdout).
• Specify the OpDetail attribute to control operation detail on a command-by-command basis. By setting this attribute to 0 or 1 you can determine the commands for which you receive operation details. For SELECT and EXPLORE commands, you must set OpDetail in the filter, for example:

  explore 'eTNamespaceName=Windows NT' eTN16Directory name='My NT Directory' OpDetail=1 List eTExploreUpdateEtrust
  

For other commands such as UPDATE, you must set OpDetail in the attribute list, for example:

update 'eTGlobalUserContainerName=Global Users,eTNamespaceName=CommonObjects' eTGlobalUser GlobalUserName=gluser01 to

LastName='gluser01 lastname' OpDetail=1 eTSyncAccounts=1

Note: You can combine both methods to obtain operation details for only some of the commands defined in an input file.

This example makes use of a batch input file to run multiple commands that explore a Windows NT endpoint and update a global user name:

etautil -o -u etaadmin -p password -f myinputfile

where myinputfile contains the following syntax:

explore 'eTNamespaceName=Windows NT' eTN16Directory name=My NT Directory OpDetail=0 List eTExploreUpdateEtrust;
update 'eTGlobalUserContainerName=Global Users,eTNamespaceName=CommonObjects' 
eTGlobalUser GlobalUserName=gluser01  to  LastName='gluser01 lastname' eTSyncAccounts=1

Note: This example makes use of the -o flag to display operation details to stdout. To control the amount of information displayed, use the OpDetail attribute. In this example, by setting OpDetail=0 in the Explore command, only the details of the Update command are displayed.
