Creating live sessions

You create a live session when you want to view events as they are fed to the operation history database. While viewing events in a live session, you can pause the live event feed.

To create a live session:

  1. Start Operation History Viewer.
  2. In the Viewer window, click File > New, or click the New icon .
  3. The system displays the Session Properties dialog box.

  4. In the Session Name field, enter the name of the session, if required.
  5. In the Message Application Server field, enter or click the MAS for which you want to display events. If you want to display events for all the MASs in the voice mail domain, click All Servers.
  6. Click Live Mode.
  7. Under Select Types, select the event severity type or types to display. You must select either Error, Warning or Information.
  8. Under Selection Activities, select the event criteria to display. To quickly select all activities, select All Activities.
  9. If you select All Activities, any mailbox or port number values you enter are ignored.

    You can further restrict the display of mailbox and port activity events by entering a range of mailbox or port numbers in the Value field, using a comma separator. No negative numbers or spaces are allowed in a range. The first number in a range must be less than the last number in a range, for example, port numbers, 1-8,16-24.

  10. Click OK.
Note: To avoid slowing down the tracing server, Operation History Viewer displays the most recent events only. You can view older events in an historical session.

If you want to change the number of events displayed in a live session, please contact your Avaya Modular Messaging support representative.

Scrolling events in a live session

If you do not pause a live feed view when scrolling events in a live session, the viewer moves to the end of the event list each time a new event comes in.

Important!   You must pause a live view before exporting events. For information on exporting events, see Exporting operation history events.

To scroll events in a live session:

  1. Click File > Pause, or click the Pause/Resume icon .
  2. Scroll through the events you want to view.
  3. When you have finished scrolling, click File > Resume, or click the Pause/Resume icon .
  4. Live event feed is resumed without any loss of events generated during scrolling.

    Notes:  
    • You can pause a live view for a maximum of 200 seconds. If you exceed this time, then you must restart the live view session.
    • When you click New, Open, Save, Save As, Session Properties, or Event Properties, the application automatically pauses the event feed. Once the action is complete, the application resumes event feed without any loss of events generated during the action.
