Data Protector log files

Some Service Management applications, such as HP Operations Manager software,
allow you to specify when and which log files should be monitored for a specific log
entry. If the specified entry is detected in the file, an action can be specified. In OM
this is called Log file encapsulation.

You can configure such a Service Management application to monitor Data Protector
log files for specific log entries (Data Protector events) and define an action that is
to be executed in case a particular Data Protector event is detected.

For more information on Data Protector log files, see the HP Data Protector
troubleshooting guide
. Note that there is no log files formatting specification provided.

Windows application log

Some Service Management applications, such as Operations Manager Windows
(OMW), monitor the Windows Application Log.

To enable automatic forwarding of all Data Protector messages and messages about
the Data Protector services (if they are stopped) to Windows Application Log, set the
EventLogMessages

variable in the Data Protector global options file to 1. For

more information on the Data Protector global options file, see the HP Data Protector
troubleshooting guide
.

Java-based online reporting

Data Protector comes with a Java-based online reporting capability that lets you
configure, run, and print all Data Protector built-in reports, live and interactive. During
reporting operations, Data Protector Java reporting directly accesses the Cell Manager
to retrieve current data. You can make this Java applet available through a Web
server, copy it to the client machine for direct access, or use it locally. Using this
facility only requires a supported Web browser; there is no need to have the Data
Protector GUI installed on the system. Not only can you use the Java reporting facility
to get online access to your reports, but you can also configure your reporting structure
through it, such as adding new reports to a schedule or changing a report's
parameters.
