DESCRIPTION

The tecad_win command starts the Windows 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 console window. The Windows 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 TECWinAdapter

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

Authorization: none

Arguments:

–cConfigFile

Specifies the configuration file for the Windows event log adapter. If a value is not specified, the tecad_win.conf file in the current directory is used. If the –cargument 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.

–dShows 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 event log adapter in this mode, make sure that no other adapters of the same source are running at the same time.

none Specifies that no Windows event logs are monitored.

EventLog ...
