The console log protocols all messages that are output to the console during the installation procedure together with the date and time of their occurrence. If the message is one that requires a response, the response is also logged.
The file can be read at any time during the course of the installation process using any editor. If messages are waiting for a response on the console at that time, this is indicated by a “?” in the response field.
Note
The console log should not be opened using the SHOW-FILE command during the installation process as then no messages can be updated or inserted.
An error message (error when accessing the logging file) is output to the console if the file is opened nonetheless).
You are then allowed to eliminate the error: The file opened using SHOW-FILE is closed using the END statement or [K1].
The file can then be accessed once more and the message displayed on the console can be responded to with “<tsn>”.
Explanation of the output format
The following example shows a console log as generated during a default installation (displayed on screen using SHOW-FILE). The logged information is prepared in tabular format.
The information columns have the following meaning:
Column | Meaning | ||||||
Time | Time at which the message was output in the form hh:mm:ss | ||||||
Date | Date on which the message was output in the form yy-mm-dd | ||||||
R | Response that was entered on the console for this message. Possible values:
| ||||||
MSG#### | 7 digit message number | ||||||
E | If an error occurs, this positions contains a call character for the purpose of information. | ||||||
Info | Brief item of information. If an error occurs, this item of information starts with the number of the installation step. |
