4.15.3 Copying JP1 event information and action execution results to the clipboard

In JP1/IM, you can copy selected JP1 event information and action execution results to the clipboard in CSV format. You can then make temporary use of the information. For example, you can copy information about a JP1 event triggered by a major error into a text editor or the body of an email.

The clipboard feature is enabled by default. For the procedure to enable or disable copying to the clipboard, see 1.19.2 Customizing operation of JP1/IM - View (Central Console viewer and Central Scope viewer) (for Windows) in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

The following describes the windows and types of information that you can copy to the clipboard, and the output format and output items.

(4) Notes

Note the following when copying displayed information to the clipboard:

If you want to copy information to the clipboard by pressing the Ctrl+C keys, make sure that the functionality is enabled. It is enabled by default.
The information copied to the clipboard is the item selected in the window that has the focus when you perform a copy operation by choosing a command or by pressing the shortcut keys. The selected information is not copied if it was changed to an unselected state as the result of an auto-refresh action that scrolled the item out of view before it was copied.
When the amount of information to be copied to the clipboard exceeds the maximum memory usage, the copy processing is canceled and the information is not copied.
