• A (audit)
System name
The name of the computer where the condition that
caused the message was detected.
Process ID and name
The HP-UX process ID (preceded by the characters
PID ) and executable name of the process that logged
the message. The process ID is shown only for the 3270
emulation program, RJE workstation program, and
API components. For a message logged by a Windows
client, this parameter identifies the Windows task
handle of the process.
Message text
Text describing the condition being logged. This field
may include a number of variable parameters relating
to this particular occurrence of the message. For
example, a message reporting startup of an APPC
session may include the names of the local and partner
LUs and the mode they are using for this session.
This field can contain the return code from an
operating system call. For a message logged by the
HP-UX computer, it may be shown either as a symbolic
name or as a numeric value. Check the numeric values
in the /usr/errno.h file on the computer where the
error occurred to find the corresponding symbolic
name. The symbolic names are listed in your operating
system documentation.
For a message logged by a Windows client, refer to your
Windows documentation for explanations of these
return codes.
Using snaphelp for Succinct Logging Messages
The succinct logging format does not show cause and action information.
However, you can use the snaphelp utility to obtain details about the
cause and action for a particular message number by typing the
following command at the HP-UX command prompt:
snaphelp message_number
