3.3 Command Verbs
Some SEA commands are supported by multiple syntaxes, some are only supported by the new common syntax, and some are syntax independent.
wsea syntax_designator command_verb
wsea command_verb
If you enter the command wsea without any command verb or parameters, SEA defaults to translation. In this case, the system event log is translated and the output is sent to the screen.
Table 3–3 provides an overview of the wsea command verbs available in the new common syntax.
Table 3–3 Command Verbs—wsea (New Common Syntax) Command Verb 1 Description ana(analyze) Analyzes one or more binary event logs. See Section 3.5.1 for more details. aut(autoanalysis) Turns automatic analysis on or off. See Section 3.5.2 for more details. tra(translate) Translates one or more binary event logs, but does not analyze the events. See Section 3.6 for more details. sum(summarize) Returns a summary of all the events contained in a binary event log. See Section 3.7 for more details. bin(binary) Applies a filter to an existing binary event log and creates a new binary event log containing the subset of events returned after filtering. The bin command verb can also be used to merge existing binary event logs. See Section 3.8 for more details. lis(listrk) reg(regknw) unr(unregknw) tes(test) res(reset) sta(status) Displays system information such as the software version, obligation information, and notification status. See Section 3.11 for more information. help Displays a text-based help file. The text-file describes the syntaxes supported by your operating system.
1 The new common syntax allows abbreviations. You only need to enter the minimum number of characters required to uniquely identify the command to run the command (generally, the first three letters of a command verb). The full command verb is shown in parenthesis.
Table 3–4 describes the commands that are syntax independent.
Table 3–4 Command Verbs—wsea (Syntax Independent) Command Verb Description report Displays the active problem reports generated from automatic analysis. See Section 3.5.2.1 for more details. log Toggles the logging to a file of automatically generated problem reports on or off. See Section 3.5.2.2 for more details. sicl Toggles on or off the SEA System Initiated Call Logging (SICL) feature, which automatically log calls with Hewlett-Packard Services if DSNLink is installed on the system. See Section 2.4.1 for syntax information and Section 8.4.1 for more details on SICL.
This command is being phased out and replaced by the desta sicl command.
