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.

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:
- Enter the text of your search pattern in the text-entry box
- Select a Condition. Valid Conditions are:
- Contains
- Does not contain
- Starts with
- Ends with
- Matches
- Is empty
- Is not empty
- (Optional) Select Match Case.
- 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.
Links marked (online) require access to the Internet.
Each link launches a search for the topic in the online information center.
When search results are listed, select the topic that corresponds best to
your configuration.
