Analyzing the System Log

You can use the LOGANALYZER utility to obtain a detailed report of the history of a particular process. You can invoke LOGANALYZER by using the LOG command from CANDE, MARC, WFL, or an ODT. The LOG command causes the current system log to be searched, unless the title of an old system log is specified.

The following command displays all log entries for the job with mix number 7483 and for all descendants of that job:

LOG JOB 7483

The following command displays all log entries for the process with mix number 8923:

LOG MIX 8923

You can specify various options to limit the types of entries that are displayed for the process and to direct the output to an ODT, a remote terminal, or a printer. For details, refer to the discussion of LOGANALYZER in the System Software Utilities Operations Reference Manual.
