Evweb logviewer handles
getInstance() exception.
Problem:
While handling evweb logviewer -L, Evweb gets detailed data by calling getInstances()from providers. While there are more than
two instances having the same LogIndex, if
one of the getInstances() throws an exception, logviewer will not call the other getInstances()
and display valid data, which will hamper evweb logviwer -L command.
Resolution: This problem is fixed.

What Is EVWEB
EVWEB is a tool that can be used to view and administer WBEM indications generated on the HP-UX 11i v3 system.
The EVWEB tool includes the following components:
Event Subscription Administrator
Event Subscription Administrator enables users to subscribe to an indication and view it. In addition, users with administrative privileges can also
modify, and delete subscriptions. By subscribing to an indication, users can obtain detailed information about various WBEM indications.
As a part of event subscription, users must specify event subscription criteria. Users must also select one or more destinations to receive
information about indications.
Users can select one or more destination from the following list:
Event Archive: The path of Event Archive is /var/opt/sfmdb/pgsql for PA-RISC and /var/opt/psb/db/pgsql/ for Itanium. Event Archive is the
default destination.
Email: Event notification will be emailed to the specified email address. Users can specify multiple email addresses.
syslog: The path to syslog is /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.
Event Viewer
The Event Viewer enables users to view the indications stored in the Event Archive. In addition, users with administrative privileges can also
delete these indications. By default, HP-advised subscriptions are stored in the Event Archive. The Event Viewer also enables users to search for an
indication logged in the Event Archive.
Log Viewer
The Log Viewer enables users to view and search the low level logs stored in the log database.
