ana/err for Alpha Vms 7.3-2

[labadie_1]

I have an Alpha DS10 running Vms 7.3-2 which has crashed 3 times in the last days. As Ana/err is obsolete, I installed Webes, and tried various wsea commands, but I am still unable to do the equivalent of
$ ana/err/include=(bug,machine) sys$errorlog:errlog.old

and the same command with the 2 previous errlog.old

I get a lot of (uninteresting IMHO) stuff but nearly no dates and times.

Any idea ?

You could try
ANAL/ERROR/ELV TRANSLATE/INC=(BUG,MACH)

It gives me some info, but not at all as much as I had before for a bugcheck, with ana/err/full .

Rants:

1) who taked about "customer satisfaction" ? Compaq ?

2) non-regression tests, a new tool must provide at least as much info as the previous...

3) ergonomy, the Webes developers ever heard that word ?

Humm I feel better now :-)

Gerard,

little consolation, but you are just one more voice in the choir :-(

I too would celebrate the guy(s) that re-instated ANA/ERR to its V6 behavior!

Proost.

Have one on me.

Have you tried DECevent ?

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/decevent/index.html#VMS

$dia/include=(bug,mach) should work. Works on V7.3-2, I think it'll give some reasonable errorlog translations for a DS10.

dia/include=(bug,mach) sys$errorlog:errlog.old;-1

DECevent V3.4

Decevent 3.4 is not very useful...

I will dig in wsea and should eventually find the correct command

You could use ELV to translate the error log to the older format then use ANAL/ERROR.

See
HELP ANAL/ERROR/ELV TRANSLATE

Labadie,

Try this commands, but I never tried...

wsea bin input inputfile out outputfile include=â mchk_cpu, mchk_sysâ end=â some_dateâ

Create the new binary event log using the existing event log files using filtering keywords and required event types.

When you create the new event log, SEA checks all the events in the existing error log files against the filter statement, and only events that pass the filter get added to the new error log files.

you can use the following
--> filtering keywords
1. begin = any_date, end =any_date, since, today, yesterday
2. node = node_name
3. include = event_types

--> event types
1. mchk - All machine check events.
2. cam - SCSI entries logged by CAM logger
3. machine_checks (mchks)
4. panic - Crash restart, system panic, or user panic entries
5. etc.....

I did the following command, and I had the surprise to be asked if I wonted to overwrite my file a.txt (I understood this is a multi platform tool)

wsea bin input sys$errorlog:errlog.old;-1 out a.txt
/sys$sysroot/sysmgr/a.txt exists - overwrite([y]/n)? y

I will not say I am impressed by the quality of the product Webes / Wsea

I guess you mean convert and not translate ?
