Monitoring Errors and Diagnosing Problems

At installation, a system programmer provides space in a file on your operating system for the error log. This error log is used by IBM service to help you diagnose severe errors if you are unable to access the activity log.

You may find some entries in the error log useful for diagnosing and solving problems. However, you must contact a service representative for information about the meaning of the error log contents that you do not understand. If necessary, a service representative may ask you to issue TRACE commands to help diagnose and solve server problems.

To ensure that the error log has sufficient space, you should occasionally prune the error log to delete the oldest error messages.
