Error Log
The primary application log is commonly known as WVLOG. Internal errors and warning messages generated by the application code are written to this log file.
Error Log Locations
Windows: | <Prognosis_Home>\Server\Configuration\wvlog.txt |
|---|---|
Unix/Linux: | <Prognosis_Home>/server/configuration/wvlog.txt |
HPE NonStop: | <Prognosis subvol>.wvlog |
Accessing the Error Log
| Application Display: | Prognosis Error Log Display |
|---|---|
| HPE NonStop: | Has a utility for showing extended error descriptions, called 'error' that shows individual error descriptions, once they have been identified in the WVLOG file. |
| Windows: | The Windows Event Viewer will contain Errors in the Application log. |
Common Log Examples
Log format comprises of the following:
<date> <time> <error-number> <file-name> <line-number> <process-name> <version-number> <pid> - <message>
Where:
| <date> | The date which the error occurred |
| <time> | The time at which the error occurred |
| <error-number> | The error number that can be used to cross-reference the error with the internal error definition. Some services provide a Success Service error code here, ie. S-05252057. These will be internally documented to assist support staff. |
| <file-name> | The source file name that contains the error call, internal use only |
| <line-number> | The line number in the source file where the call was made, internal use only |
| <process-name> | The process that raised the error |
| <version-number> | The Prognosis version |
| <pid> | The process id from the operating system |
| <message> | A friendly message to help diagnose the error |
