5.4  Command Verbs

Some wsea commands are supported by multiple syntaxes, some only are supported by the new common syntax, and some are syntax independent.

wsea syntax_designator command_verb
wsea command_verb

Table 5–2 provides an overview of the wsea command verbs available in the new common syntax.

If you enter the wsea command without any command verb or parameters, SEA defaults to translating the system event log and sending the output to the screen.

Table 5–2 Command Verbs—wsea (New Common Syntax) 
Verb 1 
Description
ana
(analyze)
Analyzes one or more binary event logs. See Section 5.6.2 for details.
aut
(autoanalysis)
Turns automatic analysis on or off. See Section 5.6.1.5 for details.
bin
(binary)
Applies a filter to an existing binary event log and creates a new binary event log containing the subset of events returned after filtering. The bin command verb also can be used to merge existing binary event logs. See Section 5.9 for details.
help
Displays a text-based help file for the wsea command.
lis
(listrk)
Lists the registered analysis rule sets. See Section 5.11 for syntax information and Chapter 9 for details on rule sets.
reg
(regknw)
Registers one or more analysis rule sets for use during automatic and manual event analysis. See Section 5.11 for syntax information and Chapter 9 for details on rule sets.
res
(reset)
Resets the automatic analysis database. See Section 5.6.1.4 for syntax information and Chapter 8 for details on analysis.
sta
(status)
Displays system information such as the software version, obligation information, and notification status. See Section 5.12 for details.
sum
(summarize)
Returns a summary of all the events contained in a binary event log. See Section 5.8 for details.
tes
(test)
Simulates automatic analysis. See Section 5.6.1.3 for syntax information and Chapter 8 for details on analysis.
tra
(translate)
Translates one or more binary event logs, but does not analyze the events. See Section 5.7 for details.
unr
(unregknw)
Unregisters one or more analysis rule sets so they are no longer considered during automatic and manual event analysis. See Section 5.11 for syntax information and Chapter 9 for details on rule sets.
 1 The new common syntax allows abbreviations. You only need to enter the minimum number of characters required to uniquely identify the command (generally, the first three letters of a command verb). The full command verb is shown in parenthesis.

Table 5–3 describes the commands that are syntax independent and do not take a syntax designator, regardless of what the default syntax is.

Table 5–3 Command Verbs—wsea (Syntax Independent) 
Verb
Description
log
Toggles the logging to a file of automatically generated problem reports on or off. See Section 5.6.1.2 for details.
report
Displays the active problem reports generated from automatic analysis. See Section 5.6.1.1 for details.
sicl
Toggles on or off the SEA System Initiated Call Logging (SICL) feature, which automatically log calls with HP Services if DSNLink is installed on the system. See Section 3.10.1 for syntax information and Section 11.4 for details.

This command is being phased out and replaced by the desta sicl command.
syntax  1 
Shows the current default syntax or changes the default syntax for CLI commands. Once you have changed the default, you no longer need to include a syntax designator for commands that use the chosen syntax. See Section 5.3.2 for details.
 1 This syntax-independent command sometimes involves a syntax designator, but only because it needs one in order to set the default. In spite of that, the command is not an embedded part of any of the available syntaxes and must still be considered syntax independent.
