5.12 How to display user-specific event attributes
This section describes the procedures for displaying user-specific event attributes (user-specific information for extended attributes).
Before you start using JP1/IM, you can set JP1/Base to issue user-specific events. For details about how to set JP1/Base to issue user-specific events, see the manual JP1/Base Function Reference.
You can also use the jevsend and jevsendd commands in JP1/Base to issue user-specific events. In such cases, you might also need to specify information such as definition files for the extended event attributes. For details about how to set user-specific events to be issued by using the jevsend and jevsendd commands in JP1/Base, see the JP1/Base User's Guide.
To display user-specific event attributes in JP1/IM:
-
Create definition files.
Create the following definition files on the machine where JP1/IM - Manager is installed:
-
Definition file for the extended event attributes
Defines the user-specific event attributes that you want to display.
-
Definition file for objects types
Defines the display items on the JP1/IM - View window that are used to display user-specific event attributes.
-
-
Apply the definition files.
The details of each step are provided in the subsections below. The following explains how to create the definition files for displaying the attributes of sample JP1 events.
Sample JP1 events
This example uses the startup and abnormal termination events that are issued when a Windows application named SAMPLE starts and terminates.
The following are the details of each event:
- Types of JP1 events to be displayed
-
-
JP1 event that is issued when the SAMPLE application starts (startup event)
Event ID: 0x00000001
Message: The SAMPLE application now starts.
-
JP1 event that is issued when the SAMPLE application terminates abnormally (abnormal termination event)
Event ID: 0x00000002
Message: The SAMPLE application terminated abnormally.

The following attributes have been defined for the startup event of the SAMPLE application:
