Search Activity Log
2015-10-04 17:37:12
I have an ADSM AIX 3.1.1.3 server. I have coded scripts to
perform various searches of the activity log to determine when
processes complete and whether they are successful or not. The
scripts I have written have been working quite well.
I have recently installed another ADSM AIX server running
level 3.1.2.1. I have ported my scripts over to this new ADSM
Server and I am having a problem searching the activity log.
It seems that every command I issue on this server is logged
to the ADSM activity log.
More specifically I am searching the activity log, looping
every 5 minutes, for a particular text string to determine if
expire inventory has completed successfully. The problem I
have is that the command I issue to search the activity log is
itself logged to the activity log in the form of an ANR2017I
message. The search therefore finds what it is looking for
before the expire inventory process has completed.
The command I am issuing for the search is:
dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=xxxxx q act begintime=09:30
search=\"ANR098*I Process 200 for EXPIRE INVENTORY running in
the BACKGROUND*completion state*SUCCESS\"
The search of the activity log therefore finds:
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: QUERY ACTLOG
begintime=09:30 search="ANR098*I Process 200 for EXPIRE
INVENTORY running in the BACKGROUND *completion
state*SUCCESS"
Any ideas on how I can prevent my search string from getting
logged to the activity log in the form of an ANR2017I message,
or any other work around would be greatly appreciated.
