system.log: Host System Messages Log
The Host System Log contains the raw, unprocessed text of all printer messages
received by the MCC from host systems. It can be viewed from the Unix
command line, or by selecting the Other—System Messages Log menu option.
The format is:
2OS Text ContFlag
The first character in the line will always be a 2. This is followed by the OS
Name and the message text. Appended to the end of the line is the continuation
flag -- a 0 or 1. Each line has a fixed length of 162 characters. An example with
most of the spaces between the text and continuation flag is:
2PROD1 0E25 CTC OFFLINE 1
2PROD1 0E26 CTC OFFLINE 0
The continuation flag indicates whether the next message is part of the same
burst of traffic from the mainframe. The response to a particular console
message may result in numerous lines of output, with continuation flag of 1
occurring more than once; however, the last line of response to the command will
always have a continuation flag of 0.
unit.log: I/O Unit Messages Log
The Unit Messages log is populated by scripts. It can be updated through the
MCC GUI’s Icon command or through a LOG command:
LOG(LOG_IO, $Msg)
It can only be viewed through the OS command line.
