Values

enddate is the ending date of records to be dumped.

Event log records for the current date can be selected by using an asterisk ( * ).

If Event Log Dump will run over consecutive days, a rolling date can be specified with an asterisk ( * ) followed by a negative value. For example, *-2 selects records that were generated prior to 2 days before the current date.


endtime, optionally, specifies the ending time of records to be dumped.

If endtime is omitted, a value of 23:59 is used.

Note

enddate and endtime must match the short date and short time styles, respectively, as specified in the Control Panel.

If a 12-hour time format is used, and endtime is specified, enddate and endtime together must be enclosed in double ( " ) quotation marks (for example, "12/31/2011, 11:59 PM"). This ensures that the value will be read correctly from the command line.
