Checking the message log (EQQMLOG)
Start the tracker.
- Check that the return code for all initialization options is 0 (message EQQZ016I).
- Ensure that all required subtasks are
active.
- The data-router and submit tasks are always started. You should see these messages:
EQQZ005I SUBTASK DATA ROUTER TASK IS BEING STARTED EQQF001I DATA ROUTER TASK INITIALIZATION IS COMPLETE EQQZ005I SUBTASK JOB SUBMIT TASK IS BEING STARTED EQQSU01I THE SUBMIT TASK HAS STARTED
- Also, verify that the tracker has
started an event writer. You should see these messages:
EQQZ005I SUBTASK EVENT WRITER IS BEING STARTED EQQW065I EVENT WRITER STARTED
- The data-router and submit tasks are always started. You should see these messages:
- Examine error messages. Note: The first time the event writer is started, it formats the event data set. Ignore the SD37 abend code that is issued during the formatting process.
If you see error messages in the message log for an event reader or an NCF connection, this is because you cannot fully verify an event-reader function or NCF connection until the controller is active and a current plan exists. Active tracker-connection messages for XCF connections are written to the controller message log when the controller is started. If you have specified any of these functions, follow the procedures in Verifying configuration when you have completed initial verification procedures.
- Check that your log is complete.
If your log seems to be incomplete, information might be in a buffer. If you are unsure whether the log is complete, issue a dummy modify command like this:
F ssname,xx
. Message EQQZ049E is written to the log when the command is processed. This message will be the last entry in the log.
