samlog_viewer

[Richard Ace_1]

I was trying to us samlog_viewer to find out a command in sam, by using the following command.

For the year field it requires two digits
So I used 03

This gave me year 1903

See attachment

So I tried 2003 just in case

This gave me year 1920

I can change it in the sam menu field no problem.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrmmm! Is there somthing adrift here?

samlog_viewer -s 0731080003 -e 0731210003 -lC -u root


samlog_viewer -s 073108002003 -e 073121002003 -lC -u root

Have we uncovered a Y2K problem?

Or are we missing a patch.

Check that you are current on sam patches.

I have looked at SW and thing may be a little behind . Not too sure though

swlist -l bundle | grep -E 'XSW|HWE|QPK|SAM'

Hi Richard,

As far as I'm aware this issue has been fixed in 11i, but not fixed yet in 11.00. The workaround would be to start up the samlog_viewer without the -s and -e options, then set them inside the GUI, which is able to accept 4 digit years.

There is an SR raised for this issue; the number is 8606296648.

regards,

Darren.
