5.5.13 GET PLAYBACK
This command can be used to display status information extracted from the EMS
log file. The command output can be requested for a particular network element or
for all network elements reported in the file. Each set of values is the result of one
query to the network element, and includes all parameter values and all alarm
states obtained from that query. To limit the content of the playback to a particular
time period, enter a
SET PLAYBACK command before entering this command.
The output will otherwise be the total content of the log file for the queried NE or
NEs.
To get the playback for a network element
1. Enter a command in the following format
DEMS Site_Name GET PLAYBACK
(or)
DEMS Node_Number GET PLAYBACK
where Site_Name is the site name of the network element for which infor-
mation is being requested, and
Node_Number is the Host Node or Remote
Node value (as displayed in the Maintenance interface View Catalog win-
dow),. Use
Site_Name = ALL to query for all network elements.
2. Look for a response containing the same information sets as contained in a
POST MESSAGE display with a header and END marker for each informa-
tion set.
