Obtaining information about Log Analyzer messages


Information about the causes of error and informational messages that Log Analyzer can issue and the actions that you can take in response is available in the messages section and in the Log Analyzer ISPF interface.

You can access message information in the ISPF interface by using various methods. You can choose the Message command from the Help action bar menu, or you can enter the MESSAGES command or the MSGS command in the Command area of most panels. The Messages - Entry pop-up window is displayed.

  • If you enter a valid number (representing the numerical characters of a Log Analyzer message) in the BMCLUI Message number field, the Message nnnnnn - Help pop-up window is displayed for the specified message (and the Messages - List panel is bypassed).

    To display the Message nnnnnn - Help pop-up window (bypassing the Messages - Entry pop-up window and the Messages - List panel), you can enter the MESSAGE nnnnnn command or the MSGS nnnnnn command in the Command area of most panels. In these commands, nnnnnn is optional and represents the numerical digits of the BMCLUI error message. For example, to view information about message BMCLUI186003E, enter MSG 186003.

To display a limited list of messages on the Messages - List panel, you can use a masked value for nnnnnn. For example, entering MSGS 18%34* could result in the following messages:

  • BMCLUI189340E
  • BMCLUI189341E
  • BMCLUI189342E
  • BMCLUI189343E



 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
