Data Protector Event Log
The Data Protector Event Log represents a centralized event
management mechanism, dealing with specific events that occurred
during the Data Protector operation. The events are logged in the
<Data_Protector_home>\log\Ob2EventLog.txt (Windows systems)
or in the /var/opt/omni/log/Ob2EventLog.txt (HP-UX and Solaris
systems) file on the Cell Manager. Viewing the Data Protector Event Log
using the Data Protector GUI helps you troubleshoot possible problems.
The events are logged by the notifications functionality. Refer to “Data
Protector Notifications” on page 342 for more information on
notifications.
NOTE Only the Data Protector users in the Admin group and those granted the
Reporting, notifications and event log user rights are given
access to Data Protector Event Log functionality.
Event Log To access the Event Log, select the Reporting context in the Data
Protector GUI and expand Reporting. Select Event Log to display
events.
NOTE The Data Protector Event Log is not refreshed automatically. If you want
to view new messages, refresh it manually by pressing F5.
