NETPARSE, A Compression / Database Preparation Utility for Novell Netware(tm)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NETPARSE, (C)opywrite 1991, Suncoast Software Systems and Charles Dittell
Version 1.6, Released 5/18/91
INTRODUCTION
------------
Netparse is a utility designed to enable Network Administrators create more
useful information from Novell Netware's activities reporting processes. It
creates an output file which contains only relevant data; extraneous
expressions such as "from", "by", etc., are deleted, and the output is
formatted for use in almost any database. Netparse may be called from a
batch file, and is "network safe", enabling access by only one network
user (usually the Supervisor) at a time.
INSTALLATION
------------
Netparse has been designed to use a file created by redirecting the output
from its activiting logging program, Paudit(tm). In order to create this
file, the following command line (or batch file command) is utilized:
PAUDIT > NET.LOG
You may name your log file the name of your choice.
Place Netparse.exe in the SAME DIRECTORY as your log file; call Netparse
directly or through a batch file. The following (optional) switches are
supported:
/a Append the information to an existing file with the same name
(if one exists)
/o Overwrite a previous file with the same name (if one exists)
/"c" (Where c is any ascii character) Separator between fields
Defaults are to overwrite any existing output file (equivalent to /O) and
a space as field separator (equivalent to /" ").
Some examples:
netparse net.log net.out /a /","
(creates or appends data to net.out from net.log; uses comma as
field separator)
netparse net.log database.out
(no switches: creates database.out, overwriting database.out if one exists,
uses the default of space as field separator)
USE
---
The primary use of Netparse is to prepare Paudit's log information for
effective use in a database environment. The following fields are provided:
Date Time LAN_Name User Action Net_Address
As mentioned above, field separators may be chosen by you; the default is a
space.
