Importing Flag Definitions

You can add flag definitions to a server by importing a list of definitions from a target server.

Prerequisites

Task
  1. Display server error log entries:
    • From the monitor view – From the Perspective Resources view, click the drop-down arrow that appears next to the server name, then select Monitor. In the SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor window, click Error Log.
    • From the Administration Console – In the left pane of the Administration Console, select ASE Servers to populate the right pane with a list of servers. Select a server, click the drop-down arrow that appears next to the name, then select View Error Log.
    • From an instance in the Cluster Edition – In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Cluster Management > Instances. Select an instance, click the drop-down arrow that appears next to the name, then select View Error Log.
    The error log shows, by default, the most recent 1000 log entries.
  2. Click Show Search Options.
  3. Click Show Flag Definitions.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click Import from server , then select a server.
    You see a list of flag definitions from the source server.

    By default, the flag definitions on the target servers are replaced by the definition list on the source server, including each definition's state of enabled or disabled.

  6. (Optional) To merge the definition list on the source server with the definition lists on the target servers, unselect Overwrite existing flag definitions. The merge is based on the following:
    • If the regular expression of the source definition does not exist in the list of the target definitions, the source definition is appended to the target list.

    • If the regular expression of the source definition does exist in the list of the target definitions, the source definition is not appended to the list, regardless of the state.

  7. Click OK to save your changes.
