Substitution extension classes

When defining the parsing criteria for the creationTime property of a Common Base Event, you can use substitution classes instead of substitution rules. The following substitution classes are available.

com.ibm.etools.logging.adapter.parsers.AIXTimeFormatExtension
This class parses the time format for the AIX(R) errpt log and the AIX syslog. It adds the current year to the log file date, unless the result is greater than the current system date, in which case the previous year is added to the log file date to generate the creationTime property.
com.ibm.etools.logging.adapter.parsers.InformixMessageLogTimeFormatExtension
This class parses the time format for the IBM(R) Informix(R) Dynamic Server Message log. It adds the current year to the log file date, unless the result is greater than the current system date, in which case the previous year is added to the log file date to generate the creationTime property.
com.ibm.etools.logging.adapter.parsers.SyslogTimeFormatExtension
This class parses the time format for all syslog logs. It adds the current year to the log file date, unless the result is greater than the current system date, in which case the previous year is added to the log file date to generate the creationTime property.
