All Events

The All Events view displays those events retrieved from the event database, based on the specific search criteria were set in the Get Events subpanel.

The All Events view is divided into an upper and a lower frame. The upper frame contains the list of events retrieved, with several columns containing corresponding attributes for a particular event. To view a particular event, click the link with the time and date the event occurred, or select one of the events listed (click on the radio button next to an event in the Select column). The property Names and Values for the chosen event will be separately displayed in the lower frame at the bottom of the view.

Advanced table functions

You can sort the events in ascending or descending order for a single column by pressing the arrow next the column title. There are also several buttons and a pull-down menu where you can perform more advanced functions on some or all of the events:

Show/Hide Filter Row
To show the filter row, you press the Show Filter Row button or select the same action from the pull-down menu. You will now see that a blue box with a link to the filter function appears beneath each column name. For every column type (except "Select"), you can click the filter link, and you will see the following items:
  • A pull-down menu labeled "Condition."
  • A text-entry box.
  • A check-box to toggle whether you want your filter to match the case of the words you enter in the text-entry box.
  • An OK button you press to filter the events according to the filter criteria
  • A Cancel button that will close the filter entry fields without filtering any events.
To filter an event list, you perform these actions:
  1. Enter the text of your search pattern in the text-entry box
  2. Select a Condition. Valid Conditions are:
    • Contains
    • Does not contain
    • Starts with
    • Ends with
    • Matches
    • Is empty
    • Is not empty
  3. (Optional) Select Match Case.
  4. Press OK.
Clear All Filters
Click this to clear all filter criteria, and return the list to its original state.
Note: The blue boxes with the filter links will continue to appear beneath the column names. Click Hide Filter Row to remove these.
Edit Sort
You perform this action to open the sort criteria panel. From here, you can sort up to three columns in order of preference (First, Second, and Third). You will then specify for each column to be sort in either ascending or descending order. Press OK to preform the sort, or Cancel to close the sort criteria panel without sorting the events.
Clear All Sorts
Select this to remove all filter criteria, and return the list to its original state.
Collapse/Expand Table
You perform this action to show or hide the list of events in the table.
Enable/Disable Inline Action Bar
This action will cause an Inline Action Bar (similar to the column names and pull-down menu at the top of the table) to appear above a selected event.
Note: You can only select and view the contents of a single event inWebSphere® Process Server. Consequently, the only action you can perform with this function is to view the event data or disable the Inline Action Bar.
Configure Columns
Use this function to select which columns (other than "Select"), and the order of those columns, to show in the table. The panel for this function will show a list of available columns (these vary between different Event Views). To configure which columns, and the order they will appear on the table, you perform these actions:
  • Select the boxes next to each you use to select the column(s) that you want to see in the list.
  • Highlight a column, and use the up/down buttons next to the list to move the column position in the list (do this for each column you want to move).
  • Press OK to reorganize the table columns, or Cancel to close this panel without making any changes to the table columns.
The valid columns for the All Events view are:
  • Creation Time
  • Name
  • Message
  • Priority
  • Severity
  • Failed
  • Business Process
  • Server
  • Situation
  • Application

You can view the payload (in XML format) of any given event by clicking the link to the right of the payload element name in the bottom event data panel. The link itself will show the first 100 characters of the payload content. For example, if the payload element name is wbi:event then the link in the next column can be clicked to open a window showing all of the XML elements in the payload.
