You can filter and search HSM listing files by using the HSM for Windows client graphical user interface (GUI).
About this task
The HSM for Windows client records files that are
processed by HSM operations. The records are saved in listing files. The HSM for Windows client GUI can filter the listing files and display the
records that you want to see. You can arrange the output columns and sort by column. You can search
by system identification (SID) number or by user information.
To display records from the
listing files, complete the following steps.
Procedure
- In the HSM for Windows client GUI, select . The menu displays a choice for the location of the listing files.
- Choose the default location or select another location and browse to the directory of the
listing files. After you specify the location, a search window opens. The window contains tabs for HSM
operations: migration, recall, retrieve, delete, move, and trace.
- Click a tab for the HSM operation that you want to see. To display records for all operations, select the All tab.
- Set the filters to display the records that you want to see. Click
Search. A progress window displays the search status.
When you search for recall records, you can
search for records that contain a user account that is recognized by the Windows system. First you
must query whether the Windows system recognizes the user account.
If the Windows system
recognizes the user account, you can use the user account to filter the HSM for Windows recall
records. The HSM for Windows recall records for that user contain the user account, but do not
contain the SID.
When the search process is complete, the search results are displayed.
What to do next
If the search yields too many records, you can search again and specify more restrictive
filters. You can hide and arrange the columns in the results window. You can order the records in a
column. You can save the results to a file.
