5.1.12 Displaying events by specifying a time period
You can display a list of JP1 events by enabling the display of events for a specified time period. You can also use the Web version of the function for displaying events for a specified time period.
You can display events for a specified time period on the following pages:
-
Monitor Events page
-
Severe Events page
Event display for a specified period displays JP1 events that have passed all filters (event acquisition filter, user filter, severe events filter, and view filter) and whose repeated events have been consolidated.
This subsection explains how to enable the function for displaying events for a specified period of time, and how to specify the desired time period.
Whether a JP1 event falls within the specified time period is determined by comparing the time at which the JP1 event arrives at JP1/IM - Manager and the current time of the host on which JP1/IM - View is running. If the time set in JP1/IM - Manager is different from the time set in JP1/IM - View, JP1 events outside the specified period may be displayed. Therefore, we recommend that you synchronize the times of JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/IM - View before displaying events.
To display events for a specified time period:
-
From the menu in the Event Console window, choose Options and then Preferences.
The Preferences window opens.
-
On the Event Attribute page, click the Enable check box in the Specified display event period area.
Base time and Display period become enabled.
-
Specify Base time and Display period.
For Base time, you can specify a time from 00:00 to 23:59 as the base time for a day. The default is 09:00.
The event display range varies according to the difference between the base time and the current time. The following explains the display range for JP1 events in each case.
-
When the current time of the host on which JP1/IM - View is running is later than the base time:
The range starts at the base time (display-period - 1) days earlier and ends at the base time on the following day.
-
When the current time of the host on which JP1/IM - View is running is earlier the base time:
The range starts at the base time prior to the display period and ends at the base time on the current day.
The base time at the end is not included in the range.
For example, when the current time is 09:15, if the display period is set to 2 days and the base time is set to 09:30, a list of JP1 events that occurred from 09:30 2 days ago to 09:29 today is displayed.
For Display period, you can specify a range from 1 to 31 days to indicate how many days worth of JP1 events in the immediate past are to be displayed. The default is 1 day.

Click OK.
The specified content (event display for the specified period) is enabled, and the Preferences window closes. The Event Console window displays JP1 events for the specified period.
If the function for displaying events for a specified period is enabled, you can switch between displaying events for the specified period and not displaying events for the specified period, by selecting the Specified display event period check box in the Event Console window or by selecting View - Specified display event period from the menu in the Event Console window.
If the function for displaying events for a specified period in the Preferences window is enabled when you log on again, you can select both the Specified display event period check box and the Specified display event period menu, and you can display the events list of each page by applying event display for the specified period. If the function is disabled, you can hide both the Specified display event period check box and the Specified display event period menu, and you can display the events list of each page without applying event display for the specified period.
For details about the specified display event period, see 3.15 Specifying the event display period in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
