SYNOPSIS

tecad_nt.exe

[–d] [–c ConfigFile] [–L none | EventLog ...]

DESCRIPTION

The tecad_nt command starts the Windows NT event log adapter in non-service
mode. You can use the non-service mode for diagnostic purposes or to view event
messages in a Windows NT console window. The Windows NT service mode
adapter must be stopped before the non-service mode adapter is started. To stop
the service mode adapter, run the following from the command line:

net stop TECNTAdapter

Before starting the non-service adapter, set the TECADHOME environment
variable.

Authorization: none

Arguments:

–c

ConfigFile

Specifies the configuration file for the Windows NT event log adapter. If a
value is not specified, the tecad_nt.conf file in the current directory is
used. If the –c argument is used, you can optionally specify a full path
name for the configuration file; otherwise, one of the appropriate
directories specified in “File Location” on page 9 is used.

–d

Shows debug information as events are gathered and transmitted. This
argument also selects a verbosity level of 1.

Note:

When running a non-TME version of the Windows NT event log
adapter in this mode, make sure that no other adapters of the same
source are running at the same time.

–L

Specifies which Windows NT event logs, if any, to monitor.

none

Specifies that no Windows NT event logs are monitored.

EventLog ...

Specifies which Windows NT event logs are monitored. Values are
ApplicationLog

, SecurityLog, and SystemLog. When specifying

more than one event log, separate the entries with a space.

EXAMPLES

The following command starts the Windows NT event log adapter in diagnostic
mode:

The following command starts the Windows NT event log adapter with the
myconfile.conf

configuration file:

tecad_nt -c myconfile.conf

Note:

The .conf file must be in the /etc directory where the adapter is installed.
