EMS Log
EMS Log
The AutoTMF monitor sends two classes of messages to the EMS log:

Startup and shutdown information

Critical events
Events triggered by an application failure that is caused by AutoTMF are also sent to
the EMS log.
Consequently, the first place to look for the cause of a failure in the EMS log.
To quickly view the NonStop AutoTMF events in the EMS log, start a distributor and
use the ESCFLTR filter file to select the events. At the TACL prompt, enter the
following:
You should keep this distributor running in a dedicated window during the installation of
AutoTMF and during the testing phase.
For example, if the primary monitor process stops, due to a CPU failure for example,
the EMS log will show the following messages:
CI Commands
The CI has a rich set of commands to control and monitor the AutoTMF environment.
This subsection discusses their usage.
Checking the Environment
To check the overall processing environment, use the CI command ENV . ENV displays
the names of the current MapDB, SysDB, the Guardian OS release version, the
NonStop sever serial number of the system, and so on.
Checking the AutoTMF Configuration
You have options for processing of newly audited files. These options are configured
as AutoTMF file attributes and program attributes or global parameters. Some
attributes can be specified with DEFINEs. If a prepared program does not behave as
expected, first check configuration parameters.
