Using HPDPS Error Logs
Changing Server Error Log Attribute Values
• turn wrapping off so that when the log file grows to two megabytes,
logging stops.
• change the log severity from audit to debug.
Use a text editor to edit the /var/opt/pd/spl_error.cfg file so that it
looks like this:
#
# ErrorLog Configuration File
#
# Log size (units = KBytes)
log-size = 2048
# Wrap On?
log-wrap = false
# Severity?
log-severity = debug
When you have made the changes and saved the file, the error log for
each spooler will use these settings after the spooler is shut down and
restarted or the system is re-booted.
To make the changes take effect on the error log of an active spooler, shut
the spooler down and then start it again.
The next time the server is shut down and started again, it will use the
values set in the configuration file. If you prefer not to shut the spooler
down, use the process described in “Changing the Attribute Values of a
Server Error Log Temporarily” earlier to set these values temporarily.
Available Values for the log-severity Attribute
The supported values for the log-severity attribute are as follows:
error This setting produces a minimum of logging. Only error
messages are logged. An error referencing a job signals
a condition that might prevent the job from completing
successfully, depending on the setting of other
parameters. The letter E precedes each message.
warning Both error and warning messages are logged. A
warning referencing a job signals a condition that will
not prevent completion of the job, but might indicate
that some action is needed on part of the user or
operator. The letter W precedes each warning message.
