Error Log View

The Error Log view captures and displays all internal trace records, other informational messages and errors generated by the platform. CA Mainframe Application Tuner writes these errors to a log file created on the application server. The Error Log view shows the content of this file and provides options to sort or filter your data.

The contents displayed in the Error Log view depend on the Logging Level setting in CA Mainframe Application Tuner preferences. For more information about Logging Level, see Set CA MAT Preferences.

When new events are logged, CA Mainframe Application Tuner automatically highlights the Error Log view.

You can click the icons on the Error Log view toolbar to export, import, delete, and open a selected event. You can also use the Clear Log Viewer and the Restore Logs icons to obtain the latest events generated for an active program.

You can identify, review, and filter errors listed in the Error Log view. The Error Log view captures internal trace records, messages, XML file creation errors, and errors that are caused by the operating system or CA Mainframe Application Tuner. You can review the details of an error and troubleshoot problems.

To open the Error Log view, select Window, Show Views, Error Log.

The Error Log view lists a set of errors with the following information for each error:

Note: If a plus sign (+) precedes an error, the error is a complex problem. This indicates that a number of errors contribute to the problem. You can double-click the error to expand and view the list of errors under that error.
