BIN Input Format From-Entity Syntax

<from-entity> ::= <filename> | <SiteID> [ , <filename> | <SiteID> ... ]
<SiteID> ::= < site_number >
< server_comment >
< site_metabase_path >
The <from-entity> specified in queries using the BIN input format is a comma-separated list of: "Site identifiers" must be enclosed within angle brackets (< and >), and can have one of the following values: When a "site identifier" is used, the BIN input format connects to the specified machine's metabase, gathers information on the server's current logging properties, and parses all the log files in the server's current log file directory, returning only the entries corresponding to requests to the specified virtual site.

Filenames and "Site identifiers" can also include wildcards (e.g. "LogFiles\ra04*.ibl", "<www.*.com>").

Examples:

FROM LogFiles\ra04*.ibl, LogFiles\ra03*.ibl, \\MyServer\LoggingShare\W3SVC\ra04*.ibl
FROM <1>, <2>, <My External Site>, raw9.ibl
FROM <www.net*home.com>, <//MyServer2/W3SVC/www.net*home.com>, <*>
