HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

evtsize

Defines the size of the HCL Workload Automation message files. This command is used by the HCL Workload Automation administrator either to increase the size of a message file after receiving the message, “End of file on events file.”, or to monitor the size of the queue of messages contained in the message file. You must be maestro or root in UNIX, or Administrator in Windows to run evtsize. Stop the HCL Workload Automation engine before running this command.

Syntax

evtsize -V | -U

evtsize filename size

evtsize -compact filename [size]

evtsize -info filename

evtsize -show filename

evtsize -info | -show pobox

Arguments

-V: Displays the command version and exits.
-U: Displays command usage information and exits.
-compact filename [size]: Reduces the size of the specified message file to the size occupied by the messages present at the time you run the command. You can optionally use this keyword to also specify a new file size.
-info filename: Displays the percentage use of the queue of messages contained in the message file.
-show filename: Displays the size of the queue of messages contained in the message file
filename: The name of the event file. Specify one of the following:
Courier.msg Intercom.msg Mailbox.msg Planbox.msg pobox/workstation.msg mirrorbox.msg mirrorbox<n>.msg
size: The maximum size of the event file in bytes. It must be no less than 1048576 bytes (1 MB).
When first built by HCL Workload Automation, the maximum size is set to 60 MB.

Note: The size of the message file is equal to or bigger than the real size of the queue of messages it contains and it progressively increases until the queue of messages becomes empty; as this occurs the message file is emptied.
-info | -show pobox: Displays the name of the message file, within the pobox directory, with the largest queue size calculated as a percentage of the total file size. Both the name of the file and the percentage used are returned. Either -info and -show return the same results.

Examples

To set the maximum size of the Intercom.msg file to 20 MB, run the following command:

evtsize Intercom.msg 20000000

To set the maximum size of the pobox file for workstation chicago to 15 MB, run the following command:

evtsize pobox\chicago.msg 15000000

The following command:

evtsize -show Intercom.msg

returns the following output:
