IBM SY33-0193-00 Event/Error Logger, View SSA Event Log, Stop SSA Event Logging, Error Summary

The Event/Error Logger

The	adapter	software includes an	Event/Error Logger. This is	automatically loaded into
the system during the installation			of the adapter software, and afterward at each
power-on operation. The event/error			logger collects information	about SSA errors and
can	indicate	when service action	is required.

Error logging is only accessible using the RSM configurator, on the Adapter List page. Functions available are:

Ÿ	Analyze		SSA	Event		Log.
Ÿ	View	SSA	Event		Log.
Ÿ	Stop	SSA	Event		Logging.
Ÿ	Obtain		a	summary		of event log entries.

ŸModify SSA Event Logger Time Out.

Some

are therefore not displayed. In other cases the error might be related to oper procedures that do not call for any service action.

Service Actions are indicated by service request numbers (SRNs): see “Service Request Numbers (SRNs)” on page 3.

Attention:	If you need to perform service actions, always go first to “MAP 2010:
START” on	page 2010-1.

View SSA Event Log

This function displays the complete contents of the Event/Error Log.

Stop SSA Event Logging

This function ends the operations of the event/error logger.

To	restart	the	logger, either	use the	icon that	is normally in the STARTUP group fo
or	go to	the	directory that	contains	the logger	executable file, ISSAELOG.EXE, and
it.

Modify Event Logger Time Out

This function enables you to set a longer time for the event logger to perform the analyze and dump functions. A heavily loaded system might cause a time-out to occur if the time setting is too short.

Error Summary

This function is	available from the Ctrl File button. It displays a summary of the
types in tabular	form.
