13 LOGTOOL
The System and Memory Log Analysis Tool (LOGTOOL) lets you display and manage system
log files and the memory log file. System log files contain information generated by the
operating system. The memory error log file contains memory error information gathered
by the memory error logging process MEMLOGP.
You can request that the operating system keep records of certain users as well as
particular events. To keep a certain type of log, change its status to ON using SYSGEN.
To see specific log records, use the LOGTOOL utility (as explained in the "Operation" section,
below).
