3.14.1.3. Events

The events utility supports two modes for printing events.

  • If the option -c is given, the utility prints the events for a single content and exits immediately.

  • Otherwise, the utility prints all events generated by the Content Management Server or the Workflow Server until it is terminated explicitly. At the user's option, a time stamp can be provided for replaying historic events previously to entering the live event stream.

usage: cm events -u <user> [other options]
available options:
 -c,--content-id <content id>   content id for which the history is shown
 -d,--domain <domain name>    domain for login (default=<builtin>)
 -p,--password <password>     password for login
 -t,--timestamp <timestamp>   content timestamp
 -u,--user <user name>        user for login (required)
 -url <ior url>               url to connect to

Example 3.14. Usage of the events utility


The events utility has the following options:

Parameter Description
-c The id of the content whose history is to be printed. Omit this option, if you want to print events for the entire repository. This option cannot be combined with the -t option.
-t Timestamp, this option gives the date of the last synchronization with events. If you restart the utility, all events which happened after the moment given with the option -t will be reprocessed (that is printed to the console), so -t should be omitted when the events utility is used for the first time. If you start events without the option -t, all events from now on will be printed. A timestamp has the format <seq_no>:<sub_no>:<id_tag> and is printed out before the event. See Javadoc of com.coremedia.cap.content.Timestamp#fromNumbers(int,int,int) for further details. Note that session events don't provide timestamps.
