APPN Exception
An exception is an anomalous event that degrades the system in a way not yet perceptible
to a user. Exceptions are logged for events such as XID failures, when locate requests
fail, and when critical buffer congestion occurs or is relieved. Exceptions generally precede
problem reports.

Please NOTE that these events are not logged while the panel is being displayed.
