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:

Some

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.
