11.7 Acknowledging, Closing, and Deleting Events

Use these AppManager command-line scripts to work with existing events:

  • ACKEVENT.VBS acknowledge the event.

  • CLOSEEVENT.VBS closes the event.

  • DELETEEVENT.VBS deletes the event.

The following example illustrates the syntax for these scripts:

C:\Program Files\NetIQ\AppManager\bin\netiqcmd.exe ackevent.vbs
/server=srv1 /user=miles /password=pwd /database=qdb1 /eventid=5

All of these scripts use the following command-line arguments:
