Displaying EMS Event help & Token Dump:

You may retrieve and display help text (where available) for a selected Event, along with a dump of all tokens included with the Event message.  The help text is retrieved from one of two databases on the host.  This contains information such as summary and detail description of the reported message.  Also included, is information on Cause of the Event, its Effect on the system or applications, and Recovery methods.
To display this information, simply click on the sequence number of the Event message.  Web ViewPoint Enterprise first searches its BAM (Business Application Manual) database for any available help text.
Next, HP’s Operator Messages Manual (file EVENTTX) is consulted, if there are no entries in the BAM database for the selected Event.  Any information found is displayed, in absence of BAM content.  Note that if BAM data is displayed, a link will also be present to give you access to the relevant content in the Operator Messages Manual as a secondary source of information.

Note that you can always display and access the Operator Message manual in its entirety by clicking on the icon on the upper right side of the screen.
