To run the Events Preprocessor tool
By default, the Events Preprocessor tool is located in the Application\bin directory under your Detect installation. It is recommended that you create a shortcut for this tool the first time you use it.
1.
Run the following file to display the Events Preprocessor screen:
EventsPreProcessor.exe
2.
Enter the following input options:
*
Vendor
*
Role
*
User Name
*
Password
*
Entity Type
*
For multiple entity types, enter a comma-separated string or run the executable multiple times.
3.
Enter the path for the Output Directory. The path specifies where the following files are written:
*
output file—Contains a list of significant entity IDs. The output file is named unicaEETQuserIDs.entity type
*
log file—Contains a count of the number of significant entity IDs
*
error log file—Describes errors that occurred while running the tool.
4.
Enter the Start Date and End Date in the format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss or YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss.
*
The hh:mm:ss portion of the date parameters is optional, and will default to 00:00:00 if not specified. The system will look for data one second before the date specified.
The tool will select entity IDs that are due for a wake up call beginning with and including the Start Date, up to but not including the End Date. For example, a start Date of 2002-03-30 and an End Date of 2002-03-31 will select entity IDs for the 30th.
5.
Click Start to run the tool. Previously created output files are overwritten.
An "All Good" message in the Result box indicates that the preprocessor has completed successfully. An error message in the Result box indicates that the preprocessor did not complete successfully. Check the error log for details when this occurs.
