Controller message log

Look for the following messages in the message log of the controller:

Active normal-mode manager messages

EQQZ005I SUBTASK NORMAL MODE MGR  IS BEING STARTED
EQQN013I NOW PROCESSING PARAMETER LIBRARY MEMBER EQQCP1DS

Note: Active job-tracking log archiver messages. In the preceding message, the active current plan ddname is either EQQCP1DS or EQQCP2DS.

EQQZ005I SUBTASK JT LOG ARCHIVER IS BEING STARTED
EQQN080I THE LOG ARCHIVER TASK HAS STARTED

Active job-tracking log archiver messages

Note: The preceding messages, EQQZ085I and EQQG001I, are repeated for each general service executor that is started. The number of executors started depends on the value you specified on the GSTASK keyword of the OPCOPTS initialization statement. The default is to start all five executors.

Active data-router-task messages

EQQZ005I SUBTASK DATA ROUTER TASK IS BEING STARTED
EQQF001I DATA ROUTER TASK INITIALIZATION IS COMPLETE

If you have specified that APPC support should be started, check that these messages appear:

Active APPC-task messages

EQQZ005I SUBTASK APPC TASK IS BEING STARTED
EQQO001I APPC TASK INITIALIZATION IS COMPLETE

This message must be issued for the first controller or server start after APPC starts; it is issued by APPC to the system log:

APPC scheduler active - system log messages

ATB050I LOGICAL UNIT IS4MEOP4 FOR TRANSACTION SCHEDULER EOP4 HAS BEEN
ADDED TO THE APPC CONFIGURATION.

If you have specified an event-reader function, check that these messages appear:

Active event-reader messages

EQQZ005I SUBTASK EVENT READER IS BEING STARTED
EQQR025I ERDR 01 STARTED

The numeric value on message EQQR025I indicates which event reader is started. The same value cannot be specified on more than one ERSEQNO keyword at the same node. No more than 16 event-reader tasks can be specified at the same node.

If the controller uses XCF connections, the XCF group is activated when the controller is started. Several messages can appear in the message log, indicating that a tracker or standby controller has started and that it has joined the group. If the controller communicates with a tracker using XCF, check for this message to verify the connection:

Active tracker-connection message

EQQF007I XCF MEMBER TRACK2 HAS JOINED THE GROUP. THE DESTINATION WILL BE
EQQF007I REPORTED ACTIVE

If a standby controller is started, check for this message:

Active standby-controller-connection message

EQQF008I XCF MEMBER CTRSTBY1 HAS JOINED THE GROUP AS STANDBY FOR THE
EQQF008I CONTROLLER

If the controller uses an NCF connection, check that these messages appear (where NCFCON01 is the VTAM® application ID of the controller, and NCFTRK01 is the VTAM® application ID of the tracker):

Active NCF-connection messages

EQQZ005I SUBTASK VTAM I/O TASK IS BEING STARTED
EQQV001I NCF APPLICATION STARTED
EQQV024I ACB SUCCESSFULLY OPENED
EQQV036I SESSION NCFCON01-NCFTRK01 ESTABLISHED

If the controller uses the Restart and Clean Up functionality check that the following messages appear in the controller MLOG:

EQQZ005I SUBTASK FL TASK IS BEING STARTED

EQQZ005I SUBTASK PRE-SUBMIT IS BEING STARTED

EQQFSD1I SYSOUT DATABASE ERROR HANDLER TASK STARTED

EQQFSK1I PRIMARY KEY FILE INITIALIZATION COMPLETED

EQQFSF1I DATA FILE EQQSDF01 INITIALIZATION COMPLETED

EQQFSF1I DATA FILE EQQSDF02 INITIALIZATION COMPLETED

...

EQQFSF1I DATA FILE EQQSDFnn INITIALIZATION COMPLETED

EQQFSI1I SECONDARY KEY FILE INITIALIZATION COMPLETED

EQQFSD5I SYSOUT DATABASE INITIALIZATION COMPLETE

EQQPS01I PRE SUBMITTER TASK INITIALIZATION COMPLETE

EQQFL01I JOBLOG FETCH TASK INITIALIZATION COMPLETE

If the XCF is used to connect with Data Store Following messages should occur:

EQQFCCAI XCF JOIN STARTED

EQQFCC9I XCF XCFCLC02 HAS JOINED XCF GROUP OPCGRPQ

If the SNA is used to connect with Data Store following messages should occur:

EQQFV01I FN APPLICATION STARTED

EQQFV24I ACB SUCCESSFULLY OPENED

EQQFV36I SESSION I9PC45RA-I9PC45AA ESTABLISHED

Sample Message Log for a controller shows an example of the MLOG for a controller. The controller is connected to three trackers through shared DASD, XCF, and NCF. A standby controller is also started in this configuration.
