Software error logging

“Software error logging” is a method which stores error entries (error records) in a logging file whenever a software problem is detected. The software module which is active at the time of the error initiates the logging file entry and also defines the contents of such an error record.

In BS2000, the generation and writing of error entries are handled by the components ELS and SERSLOG. ELS logs all hardware faults and is described in the “ELSA” manual [3]. Software errors are recorded by SERSLOG, which is described in the present manual as of chapter “SERSLOG Software error logging in the SERSLOG file”.
