---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0705230 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the fwaudit utility as released with Eloquence B.07.10. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.07.10 release. Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE71-0705230: BUG FIX Superseded patches: PE71-0608010: BUG FIX PE71-0606293: BUG FIX PE71-0602283: ENHANCEMENT Patch PE71-0705230 ------------------ Platforms: All * If the same item name is used with different types in different databases, fwaudit could fail with an error message indicating a wrong syntax was used (#3370). item requires a string filter argument This could happen when a numeric item value is used in a filter expression. If an item with the same name exists in another database that has a non-numeric item type (X, U or B), fwaudit aborted on any record referring to that item. item requires a numeric filter argument This could happen if a string item value is used in a filter expression and fwutil encountered an item with the same name that has a numeric item type. As a solution, fwaudit now accepts both string and numeric values on all item types. For numeric item types, if a string can be converted to a numeric value, it will be used, otherwise the value does not match and fwaudit continues. For string item types, a numeric value will be used literally for an alphanumeric comparison. * The "id" session item was added to allow to filter by a specific session identifier (#3343). The syntax is: id relational-op {integral-value} id BETWEEN {integral-value} AND {integral-value} relational-op: < <= = <> >= > integral-value: session identifier to compare with If using BETWEEN, the AND keyword may be omitted. For example: id = {42} ID BETWEEN {108} AND {110} * The "conntime" session item was added to allow to filter by the session connection timestamp (#3343). The syntax is: conntime relational-op {date-time-value} conntime BETWEEN {date-time-value} AND {date-time-value} relational-op: < <= = <> >= > date-time-value: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS In date-time-value, the time part is optional (defaults to 00:00:00). If using BETWEEN, the AND keyword may be omitted. For example: conntime >= {2005-07-26} conntime between {07/26/2005 10:00} and {07/26/2005 12:00} CONNTIME BETWEEN {26.07.2005 15:31:40} {26.07.2005 15:31:50} * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.9" Patch PE71-0608010 ------------------ Platforms: All * The fwaudit utility was incompatible with previous forward-log file revision 1.1 to 1.3. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.8" Patch PE71-0606293 ------------------ Platforms: All * The fwaudit utility was modified to add support for the modified forward-log file format added with eloqdb6 patch PE71-0606290. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.7" Notes / Related patches: - The following related patches (or superseding) should be installed with this patch: - PE71-0606290 - eloqdb6 server - PE71-0606291 - dblogreset utility - PE71-0606292 - dbrecover utility Patch PE71-0602283 ------------------ Platforms: All * The fwaudit utility was modified to add support for the modified forward-log file format added with eloqdb6 patch PE71-0602280. The eloqdb6 server process was enhanced to use a more efficient format to record index and meta data changes. This enhancement results in a substantial reduction in disk space for the forward-log file when index entries are changed frequently. This change required a modification of the forward-log file format. While older forward-log files are still supported, related utility programs need to be updated to handle the new format.
